The service here is incredible and the hotel is perfect for a one night stay. The restaurant connected is amazing for dinner and the breakfast buffet is an elevated experience. Charlotte and team really helped us in a pinch with early check in after dealing with 2 flat tires that left us stuck for a day on our road trip. We are so glad we stayed here.

Excellent stay. The hotel was spotless, well maintained, and very welcoming. Housekeeping did an outstanding job throughout our stay.
The entire staff was courteous and professional, and MORGAN in particular deserves recognition for exceptional customer service. Morgan was friendly, attentive, and made the experience noticeably better.
Having an onsite restaurant was very convenient, especially when traveling. This will be the only hotel we stay at near the DSM airport going forward. Highly recommended.

My mother flew into Des Moines and could not make it to her destination and was able to get a room here and they provided a shuttle to the hotel. The staff treated her so kindly and helped her with needs and made sure she was well taken care of. They even let her do a late checkout the next day because her ride was delayed due to weather. I could not be more pleased with they way they treated her. Thank you!!

I want to say thank you to all the staff at the Hilton Garden Inn. The food and service was absolutely amazing! Our waiter was Latoya and she made sure we had the best meals.Also the front desk staff was so helpful ESPECIALLY MRS. MICHELLE! My parents and I came from Texas to visit my son and was trying to return back but was stuck in a snow blizzard right after Thanksgiving she was so helpful. Michelle made sure to let us know what is going with our flights each time and that we were comfortable. Ms. Charlotte handled delayed flights customers with professionalism even when they were anxietious.I truly appreciated ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. Thank you so much for taking great care of us!!! Yours truly April, Tracy, Sammy James

We've stayed here a few times now for the proximity to the airport, which is very convenient. The staff are always great and the hotel itself and rooms have always been clean and nice. No complaints. The adjoining restaurant is also convenient and delicious.
