The pillows are soooo comfy, I wish there was a way I can buy 2 for my home (I miss them) When the end of the week came, I actually had tears in my eyes walking out because even though it was only 5 days, everyone almost seemed like family in the short amount of time. I can't wait to come back during hockey season and stay!!

Thanks- How 'bout just fix your pool? kthanx. We had a hallway to ourselves, so we were lucky enough to be pretty loud (there was a big group of us). Nobody cared. There is a HyVee and a Target right next door (within walking distance)- This is convenient!

The lobby was beautiful, with plenty of places to sit and a coffee making machine that could make you lattes, mochas and even hot chocolate, which I utilized multiple times. The pool was clean and brightly lit and honestly beautiful. The rooms were clean and had that extra blanket and pillow in the closet that you always hope is there when you want to feel extra cozy. This Best Western is clearly run by hospitable, welcoming people who know what they're doing. The only critique I have is that the elevator buttons seemed a little old, but they were still working properly. I felt well taken care of, cozy and comfortable, and all at a reasonable price. I would stay there again for sure. I can't wait to have another hot chocolate by their fireside in the lobby. Keep it up, you guys! I had such an amazing time. We'll be back!

We stayed here in Oct 2022 and had a comfortable stay…read more At check in we had to wait a few minutes for the clerk to finish a personal call behind the half-wall. It seemed to be a VERY personal call in my opinion and perhaps maybe too personal to be making at work, especially where patrons can hear you and particularly when your personal call keeps your patrons waiting to check in for several minutes. After he finally told the person on the other end that he had to go because he had customers, the rest of the process went smoothly. We liked the location and the room was comfortable. The morning breakfast was good, with a good variety and comfortable dining area. This will definitely be the hotel we use for future visits to Des Moines.

I'm so happy I checked Yelp to find this wonderful hotel in the Des Moines area…read more We were caught in a snow storm while driving through MN which delayed our trip for hours. We didn't want to drive much further. It was getting late so I looked for a hotel in the Des Moines area. This popped up right off the freeway so we decided to give it a try. As we walked in, we immediately noticed all the nice decor and artwork. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays as well. The front desk attendant was very nice and quickly got us settled down we would have time to grab a bite to eat before the kitchen closed. The room was nice and clean. Bed & pillows very comfortable. Plenty of towels, soap, shampoo and conditioner. Robes! We liked all the modern touches. My only issue is what I have with almost all hotels. While I very much appreciate a coffee maker in the room, hotels always add decaf coffee instead of additional regular coffee. Who drinks decaf? So you need to make the extra trip downstairs to ask for regular coffee. We went to the bar/restaurant downstairs for drinks, a bite to eat and to watch Thursday night football. First, the bar is very cool with a pool table and several TV's. Nice wall art and comfortable barstools. Sadly, they don't offer any streaming of any kind in this hotel so there was no way to watch the NFL games on their TV's at the bar or in the rooms. Fortunately, I was able to get it in my phone app but could not project to their regular TV's. Our bartenders were Eddie at first, then Tyler who took over towards the end of the night. Both bartenders were super attentive and friendly. For food, we ordered the Burrata, chicken wings and the Revel Flatbread. The wings were nice and crispy, the burrata yummy and the flatbread was thin and crispy. All were actually delicious which I wouldn't normally expect from a small hotel. Very nice! The hotel offers a free buffet breakfast to guests as well as made to order. Honestly the buffet breakfast has everything from hot to cold. It has a toaster and microwave if needed. It was quite a spread. Plenty of juice & milk varieties. The food was delicious. They also offer free bottled water if you run out of water in the room. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. We were probably two if twenty guests in the hotel which was very surprising as it is a decent price for what you receive overall as a guest. I would definitely recommend the hotel if you are passing through.

This little gem, tucked away in the middle of nowhere, was such a restful and delightful stay. I…read morehad zero expectations, but I also knew that booking with Hilton's boutique hotels would give me a uniquely curated stay. And that it was! The Revel Hotel is a beautiful, relatively new boutique hotel that is part of Hilton's Tapestry collection. The hotel pays homage to local Midwest culture in an elegant and visually stunning way. From the lobby's western decor to the minor details within the guest rooms, no detail was spared in the design of this space. It boasts modern amenities while preserving the classic perks folks love, including complimentary breakfast for hotel guests. There is a restaurant and bar on-site, offering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and staying open late for drinks. The only downside is that the bar and lobby are located in the same area, and at least on the weekend we visited, it got a bit loud in the evening, which made me feel bad for any rooms on the first floor. To play it safe, if you're a light sleeper, I'd recommend a room on a higher floor. I also wasn't too fond of the fact that there is no pool on this property. If you'd like to use the pool, you must walk over to the neighboring "Hotel Renovo", which is their sister hotel, use your key card, bring your room towels, use the pool, and then walk back. This commute is a bit inconvenient, especially when traveling with little ones and older adults, which is the only reason I didn't award this stay five stars. The hospitality here was fantastic. We were warmly greeted by a young lady named Tania, who went above and beyond to ensure our welcome and stay were nothing short of spectacular. She texted me before our arrival to ask if there were anything we would need, as well as throughout our stay to check in and provide any assistance if needed. She greeted us with complimentary, ice-cold water bottles. I loved and appreciated all of those touches. Check-in was uncomplicated through the Hilton app. All Tania confirmed was my identity using my ID and provided physical key cards if we wanted them. Otherwise, we could use the mobile key cards accessible through the Hilton app. Less than 15 mins! Check-out was equally as simple; no need to stop by the front desk if you used the app. Our stay was so exceptional that I've considered returning exclusively to enjoy the hotel and all its amenities thoroughly. Until I return, I'm recommending them to anyone who finds themselves in this neck of the woods.

To our relief, we found our room to be incredibly comfortable and quiet, more so than many hotels. I wasn't disturbed by road or corridor noise, and even the air conditioner was quiet. Our room had a king bed, chair, TV, desk, and mini fridge. The bathroom was surprisingly spacious and had installed pumps for shampoo and conditioner, which are so much better than the tiny old bottles. The shower was easy to use, though it was unusual for the control to be on the far wall from the shower head. The counter space was great. In all, a great place, and I would stay here again.

At the restaurant I ordered the cobb salad and it took around 20 minutes, but it made sense once it arrived. Everything seemed freshly prepared from the avocado slices to the frshly seared chicken. I had also ordered a whiskey flight on the chalkboard menu. The team did not seem aware that it was offerred, but arranged it anyway. The flight is supposed to be 2 oz of four whiskeys thry give you the option to choose from. I think the whiskeys I got were at least 4 oz. No complaints, just surprised. Staff was very friendly and easy to talk menu options. The menu also is not all that complicated.
