Have stayed here multiple times with my family. The pool has a great wading pool with water spouts for the little kiddies to play without needing an adult in the pool with them. The hotel rooms are nothing special but were clean. The staff is OK, the breakfast is good. If you are looking for a clean, comfortable place to stay with a young family- this is a great choice!

I've stayed at this hotel a number of times, and I am impressed by the consistently friendly service. The staff is sharp, and ensures check in is pleasant, the stay is great, and check out is only sad because I have to leave the hotel. The rooms are very clean and quiet. The hotel is close to malls, shops and restuarants. This is my favorite Hilton hotel in Des Moines.

Spent one night at the Hilton. We have stayed here many times in the past several years and I will continue to go back. We paid up front for the room and got a cheaper rate (it is a no cancellation rate) When we got to the hotel they gave us two breakfast coupons. We have not had breakfast there in the past because it cost $9 a piece and we just went over to Jordan Creek Mall and ate at Panera before shopping. But this time we stayed and I must say the breakfast was great - cook to order items as well as the regular buffet. And eating off of china and metal utensils instead of paper plates and plastic was a plus. And have the attendants pour you coffee at the table was so nice. No problems with the room. Bathroom was clean. I would recommend this hotel if you are going shopping at Jordan Creek Mall or vicinity.

I stayed here with my husband and two kids while visiting my in-laws last weekend. Overall it's a nice, comfortable hotel. We wanted a hotel room that had a separate sleeping and living area. The room we booked had a living area with a pull-out sofabed, separated by a door to the bedroom that had two queen-sized beds. The queen beds were extremely comfortable. However, my son said that the sofabed in the living area was extremely uncomfortable. (He ended up folding the bed back up and sleeping on the sofa). The room was clean, however, the toilet was extremely loud. Seriously, it sounded like an F-14 launching off an aircraft carrier every time someone flushed. We joked about it, but it was a bit annoying. The shower also squeaked a bit.
I forgot my toothbrush and was courteously given one by a front desk staff member. And my husband called me a hero when the front desk gave me a bottle opener.
We enjoyed the pool area. There's a large pool for "serious" swimmers, a slightly heated shallow pool that is perfect for little kids, and a hot tub. (Tip: don't turn the bubbles on in the hot tub. If you do, the chlorine rises up and burns your eyes, forcing you to get out quickly). The breakfast buffet was delicious, but pricey. I know I'm thrifty, but at the price point of this hotel, I expect a free breakfast. With tip, breakfast was $36 for two adults and two kids. We only ate at the hotel one day. Overall, a good hotel to stay at when we're able to splurge.
