AC Hotel by Marriott Des Moines East Village

I love staying here. It is a great location with access to the East Village. The only downside is the toilets are odd. Make sure to have a drink and an appetizer at the Republic roof top bar.

The AC Hotel was one of the hotels downtown that I selected to block rooms out for my wedding in the East Village. Tyler was very helpful assisting with setting us up with room blocks. All of our guests commented on how nice their stay was and was impressed by the modern, sleek design and the amenities the hotel had to offer. The greatest amenity of all was Republic on Grand, the restaurant on the 6th floor. It was nice that our guests didn't need to go far for excellent food and drink. Beyond Republic on Grand, the hotel is nearby several amazing restaurants and entertainment spots. You can't ask for a better stay in the Des Moines East Village! This rating would be an outstanding 5/5 if it wasn't for an upholstery issue on one of the couches in the larger suites. However, I have no doubt that this will be addressed soon!

Beautiful hotel in Des Moines. The upstairs bar closed weirdly early and the downstairs bar never opened. But the staff was friendly and the premises were very clean.

AC is a nice up-to-date hotel. Good location, and sleek rooms. Extra security measures to access the parking garage and floors with your key card. TVs have an option to log in with your Netflix account. We liked the rainfall shower in the bathroom. Overall the experience was a positive one. But, here are the reasons why I can't give it 4/5 stars. - The glass door to the bathroom is irritating. If you need to use the restroom in the middle of the night or early morning, the door has practically no ability to block out any light. - The square toilets looks aesthetically pleasing, but they are extremely uncomfortable to sit on. - Breakfast is $10.00 and is not worth the price tag. You're much better off walking a block or two to a local bakery/coffee shop. There are some complimentary options to pick like small yogurts, a piece of fruit, and soy based milk.
