Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel - Des Moines 41.58741, -93.62269

I loved the old world elegance of this hotel. It is right downtown Des Moines and I walked to the farmers market. Everything about the place said understated elegance. Definitely would do again!!

this was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. It was very comfortable. The rooms were very large and have a great view of the city. It is a older hotel but is kept up like a new one. The pool is only 4 foot deep but is very nice. I will be staying there again!

The staff was extremely courteous and very helpful. It smelled fresh and clean everywhere in the hotel. The restaurant in the hotel was very good and the wait staff were very professional. The bar in the hotel was also good.

This hotel was a wonderful surprise in downtown Des Moines. We had a lovely spacious room, a King bed with a sitting area, flat screen TV, nice bathroom with an excellent shower. The staff was friendly, and, although we didn't get a chance to use the restaurant, it looked very nice from the beautiful lobby. This will be our place to stay whenever we visit our daughters in Des Moines.

This hotel was great! Our tv was broke in our room, however they upgraded us to a Suite to make sure we remained happy! They were very helpful in finding places to eat and just an overall great staff!! would definately recommend!!

Hotel staff was very nice and room was very clean. Great breakfast too. I liked that it was such a historic building and modern at the same time. My only complaint would be the toliet in the room sprayed water all over the seat when flushed.

Our room was a double queen; however, the beds were closer to full size than queen. Our room had two bathrooms, which was a nice surprise. Room itself was smaller than I expected, but the beds were very comfortable. Could not hear any noise from neighbors or hallway, which can be an issue at some hotels. Restaurant in hotel was very nice and food was very good. Would recommend.

Hotel was very accomodating as we needed to check in quite early because of a canceled track meet. The room was great. The place was quiet. The kids enjoyed the pool and spa area very much. Breakfast was very good as well.

This hotel is a wonderful one. They have maintained her in great shape. The room was very nice and service excellent. I definitely will do again. Within walking distance to the riverwalk, state historical society, state capitol, and the farmer's market.

When I walked into the lobby, I was super impressed by the atmosphere compared to what I paid for the room. Everything was so clean and properly cared for. The staff was SUPER friendly and everyone made an effort to communicate with me. I would definitely stay again!

Great stay, staff is very friendly.

The bathhroom was tiny, nowhere to place your dop kit. the dirty toliet seat.....

The whole experience was wonderful. ALL of the staff was VERY friendly. Hotel was very clean and very quiet. Rooms were small but cozy and kept VERY clean. The bed and bedding was very comfortable, big, warm and soft.

The hotel is update and the staff is very friendly.

I had a room booked for tuesday night, but came in a night early since the weather was bad. They got me into a room and I didn't even have to change rooms the next night. I sure appreciated the convenience of staying in the same room both nights. I was also allowed an extra 1 1/2 hours for check out due to a conference I was attending. I was very pleased with the way I was treated.

We loved the convenience of the Hotel to the activities we wanted to enjoy during our stay, but even more than that, the luxurious feeling of the Hotel! Everything was above and beyond our expectations!

The staff was the best I've ever met. maybe not quite as "professional" as New York, but so friendly and willing to go out of their way. No request or need seemed to be a problem. Lots of smiles and hellos. The elevators were having some trouble, they worked, but stopped at every floor.

an average room with really really comfortable beds really fancy looking loby and resturaunt. the breakfast buffet is ok but it's not free. nice sauna pool is only like 3 feet deep though that was really the only bad thing.

Overall the hotel was nice and service was great. The only problem was the air quality in the room. It was very humid and the air conditioner didn't seem to remove the humidity, which made the room feel stuffy. It was really hot outside though and the heat index was around 95 degrees.

We thought this Hotel was awesome and we will stay again. The breakfast buffet was very good, also.

My husband and I stayed there for a weekend getaway and were very surprised at the friendliness and courtesy of the staff. The hotel is being restored and it is in perfect shape. The restaurant was wonderful and the hospitality was great. I would definately recommend this hotel to others.

The hotel facade was historic and preserved. The lobby was very inviting and well maintained. The limited interaction I had with the hotel staff was pleasant. The bed was fabulous, but the room was a little run down and very small. The bathtub was grimy. The tiling and grout around the bathtub needed painted and regrouted. I thought the bathroom in general was 2 star quality. The hotel lounge was convenient and there are a few great restaurants within walking distance.

Wonderful room, but very small (still outdated) bathrooms with no where to place toiletries. Comfy duvet on king-sized bed. Fantastic breakfast right in hotel. If you don't plan to go in/out a lot, park your car in the parking garage on 4th (immediately across the street from the 4th St. hotel entrance) for $9 all night. Hotel valet charges were $15.

nice sense of connection with famous people who have stayed here

our room had paint chipping off the bathroom walls. the bathroom needs to be bigger and updated.

This hotel was a big disappointment. We chose it because of the great location and and because it looked nice on the web. We arrived to find a very small room. The bed was comfortable but that was about it. The toilet did not flush well the first night and the second night we arrived back after a long day to find the handle completely broken. Needless to say, it didn't flush at all. The shower poured water out both the spout and shower head making the tub fill up with water. The tile was stained, cracked and outdated which made it look dirty. The elevator was slow (only 1 of them was working the first day), and the second day they were both broken and we had to take the stairs (we were on the 8th floor). We got no apologies, refund or anything for our trouble with the room. We won't ever go back. I will say though, that they do have great breakfast in the hotel restaurant.

Hotels.com was very helpful in picking a hotel and in finding a replacement when we found that the hotel we first picked out was full.

Everything was wonderful except that only one elevator was running so it was very congested. It was a busy weekend with convention on sight so the elevator was much needed with a room on the 6th floor.
