For the price point, we were expecting something higher quality. We messaged beforehand to have a pack n play for our son and when we got to the room, there was black, fuzzy mold growing on multiple bars on the crib. The staff did not seem to think it was a big deal. Aside from that, the room was pretty beat up with scuffs all over and chips out of the cups. The walls were also paper thin. We definitely won't be staying here again and will look for a different Marriott property in the area.

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.

I was debating whether to even write this review because the experience wasn't great, and honestly,…read moresome of my frustration may be with Hilton as a brand and not just this property. Hilton was running a status match, which I applied for back in May. Long story short, it took over 60 days to get approved because every time they needed additional documentation, the responses were vague about what they actually wanted. I travel quite a bit, which is why I was doing the match in the first place. Because it took so long, I missed out on having Gold status during travel I had about 30 days after submitting the request. Fast forward to this stay. I'm finally Gold, and one of the benefits is a room upgrade based on availability. At check-in, I specifically asked if an upgrade was available. The lady said yes and started going through the process. Then suddenly it was, "Oh, never mind, you're with a team, so you all have to stay on the same floor." Apparently I missed that part in the fine print. An upgrade was available, but because we were traveling with a team, I couldn't have it. She wasn't willing to budge. So that definitely left me wondering what the point of having status is if the benefits don't apply when they're actually available. Then we get to the room. The mini fridge was leaking water all over the floor and some of the drawers were broken. I called the front desk and they agreed to move us. When I went back downstairs, unfortunately I ended up dealing with the same person who checked me in. Maybe she was just having a bad day, but the attitude wasn't great. I understand everyone has bad days, but guests shouldn't have to feel like they're inconveniencing someone when they're simply trying to get a room issue fixed. Our family chose to stay at your hotel and spend our money here. I didn't get anyone's name because I don't think this should be about calling out one employee by name. Leadership should have a good sense of what's happening at their property. Good, bad or ugly, if they don't know, that's part of the problem too. The positive: the location is good and the surrounding area is convenient. Unfortunately, between the status experience, condition of the first room and customer service, that's about where the positives ended for me

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.

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.
