A chain hotel is a chain hotel, many people think. They all offer a good level of professionalism, a restful night’s sleep, and a lot of convenient amenities, but rarely any special flair to make them extra memorable. But I find that more often than not, the best hotels do have a surprise or two up their sleeve – and that’s definitely the case for the Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown, a luxury hotel run by one of the biggest hospitality chains out there. People who check in will find the level of comfort and hospitality they expect – but many will be surprised to find the largest private waterfall in Iowa! Dominating the atrium, it’s an amazing sight that’s the first sign that this high-end hotel puts a little personal touch in everything they do. Read on and find out for yourself why this hotel stands out!
