Question: What hotel will we be staying at? Answer: The Homewood Suites on Mills Civic Parkway just south of Jordan Creek Mall. (next to Applebees) Address is 6220 Stagecoach Drive West Des Moines, IA 50266, US. Note: We previously used the HAMPTON Inn and Suites next door but have since moved the package to the Homewood Suites) Question: During the pool party, will the hotel pool be shut down exclusively for us? Answer: No. Other guests staying at the hotel would be able to access the pool area during your pool party. However, we find that most of the time, other hotel guests are very respectful of the pool party going on and keep their distance. The CLOSER your pool party can start to check in time - the better! (Early checks in times can be requested too day of) Question: Do the rooms have kitchens? Answer: Yes! Each suite has a kitchen and a small dining room table. Question: Does the hotel have a restaurant in it? Answer: No. Applebees is right outside the door though, and 30+ other restaurants are within 2 miles of the hotel. Question: Can more than 4 guests stay over? Answer: No. The rooms are for up to 4 guests total (At least one of those adults must be an adult) In the bedroom there is a large KING SIZE bed. The exception to this is a 5th small child / infant. Question: Can more than 4 people come to our pool party? Answer: This is on a case-by-case situation. The hotel usually allows an extra guests or two to come swim if the hotel is not at capacity. You would seek approval for extra swimmers directly with the hotel. Question: For the pool party, can we choose a mermaid or a princess? Answer: Either! MOST of the princess characters have swimwear. If you choose for a mermaid to come we will work out special arrangements so that the little ones do not see her arrive / slip on her fin. #MermaidTrauma Question: How long do each of the visits last? Answer: They average princess visit lasts about 45 minutes. Question: What time is check in and check out? Answer: 3:00PM in the afternoon and 12:00PM the next day. (Early check-in can be requested day of by calling the hotel directly. Your room will be booked under DIAMOND LEVEL Hilton Honor STATUS so if they can accommodate you - they will! Question: Can we use this package 7 nights a week or just the weekend? Answer: We mainly have guests stay over Saturday nights but during the summer we are more flexible. Just ask. Question: Are there time frame restrictions on the character visits? Answer: We recommend that your pool party be between 3:00 - 5:30. (Early check in is sometimes an option for this if you want it even sooner!) The pool really tends to get busy after 4:00 or 5:00 so do keep that in mind. For the bedtime stories, 9:00 is the latest you can start your visit. For the breakfast visit, choose between 8:00 - 9:30 for your character to arrive. ($50 deposit is due at the time of booking / balance is due one week prior) ________________________________________________________________________ 3421 Patricia Dr Urbandale IA 50322 sarah@partywithaprincess.com |
