Top Downtown Des Moines Hotel Reviews

Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel

Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"I had such a relaxing stay here. The bed was so comfortable and I slept well. Felt safe both outside and in, lovely accommodations. I’d like to talk about the staff, as I cannot get over how exceptional they all were. Every last person with whom I encountered showed so much kindness; I’ve never been in such a truly happy establishment and it was refreshing to see. Really beautiful atmosphere, thank you! The area is highly accessible on foot, which was really convenient. Incredible experience as a whole, will definitely be back when I come back through. THANK YOU. "
