Spent some time in Des Moines, Iowa for my cousin’s wedding. Had a bit of time to do some exploring and visited The Continental and The Locust Tap in Des Moines’ East Village neighborhood. Pleasantly cool area of town. If I was forced to live here that’s where you’d find me.
We stayed at the Embassy Suites Des Moines which had great breakfast and an “Evening Manager’s Reception” from 5:30-7:30pm which was a fully open bar to anyone showing a room key.
Room keys were also available for free in the lobby at the self-check-in kiosks. Parking was also free once word spread fast that the code to get into the lot was 1-5-0-0.
Overall a great time. Congrats to Bridget and Travis Monroe!
