“The Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown impressed me with its location near the ballpark and downtown attractions. I think the free breakfast and workout area add convenience, and the river views from rooms with balconies provide a nice touch even though some found the staff unfriendly. Ultimately, it strikes me as a solid choice for visitors who value location and some key amenities.”
