I was charged for internet service. Most hotels I know about include it. Even if this were an appropriate charge, I would think you should advise that there is going to be a charge if you sign up for the internet. There was not. Prrtty sneaky. This would be enough for me to look for another place to stay next time.

We've stayed at this property before and liked the location and ease of use when we're in Des Moines. This 5 night stay will be our last at this property. Upon check-in, we found out there was now a $10/night parking fee. In West Des Moines. In an unsecured, uncovered lot. That we had to pay ourselves via a 3rd party. Absolutely unacceptable. I asked about cancelling our reservation and was told there was a 48 hour policy, so we decided to stay. The shower head in our room (807) was broken. I reported it. Never fixed. We set the thermostat to 60. I doubt the room ever got below 70. Des Moines was in the middle of a heat wave, but the pool was "Closed For Maintenance" for at least half of our stay. When I checked out at 10:45am Saturday 6/28 there was only one person working the desk. I waited for 15 minutes to check out to make it clear our visit had been less than pleasant. The clerk said "I'm sorry to hear that" and nothing else. There was still a line when I left. I've stayed in Motel 6's with exponentially greater focus on customer care and satisfaction. I don't know what's happened to this property, but it poisoned my opinion of it and definitely soured my overall opinion of Sheraton and Marriott in general. Please turn it into a Spirit Halloween store and be done with it.

The construction in the area made it somewhat difficult to get there. However, once we arrived,,everything was great. Nice friendly staff made our stay a pleasure.

The room was comfortable and quiet. There is only one pair of elevators and we stayed at the hotel during a baseball tournament.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel. I really didn't like to pay for parking. It's understandable when it is in a congested downtown area. This is not. And breakfast is pricey (I heard it is good though) so we skipped it. I am just so used to having a pretty good free breakfast at hotels at this price level. And no free Wi-fi wasn't great. That said, the room was quite large for the price and the staff was super helpful. Room and property were very clean and inviting. So, overall, I do recommend this hotel, just know that it comes with a few added costs.

The hotel charges for parking, even though the parking lot is very large. Worse, you have to pay for the parking through a third-party app, which is a big hassle. Stop nickel and diming your guests!

Room was clean. Housekeeping came around in the morning offering more towels if needed. They have big bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and hand wash. How sanitary is reusing bottles between your clientele? I thought it was rather gross and the body wash and shampoo was watered down. I know watered down products when I see them! Very few of the ice machines were working and was very frustrating to traipse all over looking for a working ice machine! They tried charging me a $10 parking fee, and I didn’t even drive!! They did remove it from my bill, after I complained. It wasn’t worth the extra money to stay at this hotel. I’ll find a cheaper place with working ice machines!!

The shower was terrible. The pools water was horribly out of balance-absolute lack of attention. No hot tub??? Will not book this hotel in the future.

The room was really stuffy and had a little bit of a musty smell. There was some hair left in the shower stall from the previous tenants. The staff were friendly. The hotel was booked with a lot of families, so everything was extra loud.
