Disliked: Cleanliness
There was a weird lingering smell in the hallways which seemed to follow into the actual hotel room. Makes me question the cleanliness of the entire room. On the plus side, the hotel was quiet and the staff was great. This location is also within walking distance to tons of restaurants and bars.

Booked for the pool/hot tub and could not use
We were attending an event downtown Des Moines and even though we live about 40 minutes away, we decided it might be fun to have a night at a hotel, so we could go swimming and use the hot tub. After we checked in, we were told the pool and hot tub were not functioning. The whole point of us paying for a hotel, was to use the pool. They stated we could walk about a block away to use the pool of another hotel. It was about 35 degrees outside. The idea of walking in my flip flops and a swimsuit to use the pool of a different hotel, in the cold and all the way back with a wet swimsuit, did not sound appealing. Then we thought, ok…we will watch some TV to kill time before the event and then the TV was not working and we had to contact maintenance. They were on top of getting that taken care of, but annoying none the less. This is not the first time we have stayed at a Hampton, only to have no access to the pool and hot tub. I feel if hotels know that the pool and hot tub are not available for use, they need to contact the hotel guests, ahead of check-in, to let them know and give guests the option of canceling the reservation, finding a new hotel or have the hotel offer a discount for lack of advertised amenities. Because I booked my stay through Hotels versus the hotel directly, the hotel did not provide any resolution and were dismissive of our concerns, with an “oh well, too bad for you” attitude and a statement of “we will tell our manager.” I have not heard from the manger.
