My fiance thought a head a paid extra for thier "romance package" which include choc.strawberrys and champange. Before checking in my fiance ask for non-achololic champange ( I am pregnant). We wait for about two hours after check in to recieve the package and we need to send it back because the gave us regular champange. Also the room was cold and the staff was very disorganized. We went to get breakfast in the morning which was a terrible and cold meal. The next night we decide to stay at the Chase Inn and Suites which was delightful. For the cost of the Marriott and reputation I expected more then a cold room, forgetful staff and a bad breakfast of cold eggs and hashbrowns that tooks a good 45mins to be recieved in a dining with maybe 10 people in total to be serviced. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/West_Des_Moines_Marriott/r449974 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/West_Des_Moines_Marriott/r449975 I do a lot of travel and I find this hotel to be outstanding. The rooms are beautiful and the beds are so comfortable I sleep like a baby! Service is excellent, always friendly with a smile! Shuttle service is super. The food at the restaurant onsite is very good, I ate there twice on my stay and loved it both times! The crab cakes are outstanding. High speed internet access is easy to connect to. I cannot find one thing wrong with this hotel and will stay here everytime I am in Des Moines! http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/West_Des_Moines_Marriott/r449975 http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/West_Des_Moines_Marriott/r449976 We spent Valentines weekend at the west des moines Marriott. It was definitely the nicest hotel I had ever stayed at. For the most part it was clean, very good service, close to shopping and restaurants, and we paid 139.99 for a king jacuzzi suite which I thought was reasonable. There are a few things that disappointed me. Note: I am very picky, so I really looked things over good. The cleaning lady left a dirty rag on the jacuzzi. The jacuzzi itself was in poor repair-it had a broken button and the front panel kept falling off. It did work ok though.Our bed had 1 foam pillow and the rest were nice feather pillows. I pulled back the duvet on the comforter and noticed a yellow stain, grated it was small, but that is still gross. The furnace in the room is quite loud when it kicks on and off. They wanted 4.50 for a bottle of Dasani water that was in the room. I thought that was very pricey for water. If you want a nice meal when visiting Des Moines, eat at Christopher's in Beaverdale. Great steaks, prime rib, romatic atmosphere. http://www.travelpost.com//hotels/West_Des_Moines_Marriott/r449976
