Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton
Beautiful hotel and everyone was so friendly...a big shout-out to Dakota at the front desk who was so patient with me and my 3 sisters and our 4 rooms. Great location, however... i would have liked the rooms to be stocked with those tiny, folded up shower caps.
