Verified reviews of AC Hotel Des Moines East Village

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked in recently:
"Fantastic downtown escape for modern minded travelers!"
Overall score5.0/ 5
The best of modern interior design combines with spacious and relaxed atmosphere in this fantastic downtown getaway! From the elegant and minimalist decor in the rooms to the fantastic views to the incredible amenities like the rooftop bar and restaurant, you'll find yourself wanting to extend your stay. There for a weekend wedding, I had plans to tour all of downtown, but once a cold snap hit, I couldn't have been happier than to stay cooped up in the hotel all weekend.
