    Excellent experience

    My daughter was married on June 26, 2021 and we held the reception at the Hilton Garden Inn in Urbandale, Iowa. I HIGHLY recommend the Hilton Garden Inn as a wedding reception venue! We worked primarily with Miki, Kathy, Kelli and James. Throughout the entire process, the staff was professional, easy to work with and very accommodating. Their customer service level is top notch!

    The staff was very accommodating and flexible. Rose Mary was top notch and I had several rooms to book for several different dates. She made sure that I had all the paperwork that I needed to ensure that guest check-in was a very smooth process. She followed up several times and even popped by to introduce herself. I would recommend booking any event that you have at the Hilton Garden Inn Des Moines/Urbandale. Signed.. very happy customer!!!
