I've been staying at The Depot (Reneissance) in Minneapolis, in their historic suites. I like them a lot. The hotel is in a converted train depot.

I've been pretty happy with Marriott in the past year, except for construction issues in a FS Marriott in Albany, I have had good service, though, I will say, the DT Des Moines Reneissance forgot to give me a platinum gift (the first time it's happened to me).

I took that $100 and spent it on strippers. That's much better than a Sam Adams and a Pint of Ice Cream.
