Great place, just needs renovation
We love the amenities that Embassy Suites provides but this place is in need of a renovation, bad! The furniture has so much ware and tear and smell. There were a ton of dogs so I wonder if being pet friendly affected the smell of the rooms. Musty and old smelling everywhere, especially pool. Staff and service were great, as was food.

I enjoyed my stay with my family. It was clean and the staff was great. I enjoyed the breakfast and the staff kept the area clean. The only downfall was that in the atrium kids were playing football and soccer almost hitting my child. A staff member did tell them to stop but as soon as she left they continued. Overall we had a good experience and would come again.

Pool was disgusting
Very disappointed in the pool. I smelled like mildew and the bottom of the pool was slimy, you could not smell any chlorine. I'm not sure if the pool is actually being cleaned. Very upsetting for teenage girls wanting to swim.

Our room smelled very musty and moldy. The furnishings and carpet were very worn and in need of replacement. The breakfast was one of the worst free breakfasts I’ve had in a long time. The fountain drinks were very watered down and waffles nearly raw. Limited fresh fruit. Eggs were overcooked and rubbery. We visit downtown Des Moines frequently, but will not stay here again.

Our room was so hot and only way to cool it down was to open windows. The vents only pushed hot air. Absolutely horrible bartender on Thursday night. Degrading and terrible attitude to anyone wishing to order. It was busy and he was just plain mean.
