Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"All staff were very kind, friendly and accommodating to my needs. The food and drinks were excellent!"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

10/10 Excellent

"1st time staying here and I was throughly impressed. Definitely a nice place all around."

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great hot tub. Nice breakfast. Stayed 3 nights. $20 per day to park unless you use the street meter parking. It is free 9pm-9am and on Sundays. It’s on an app so you can do it from your phone. Only .80 per hour. Cheaper on the street and better lit. The parking dark was scary dark and unsafe. I complained to desk about parking deck lack of lighting. There were absolutely no lights. I had to use my cell phone flashlight. Don’t pay for deck! It was not safe and expensive. With the meters on the street you programmed how long you wanted. No feeding the meter with coins."

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

Kasa Downtown Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place to stay and it was clean. I was charged for a damaged side table that was damaged prior to my arrival. They investigated and realized I was not the one who damaged the side table and returned the fee they initially charged."

Downtown Skyline Views in Modern Townhome with Rooftop Patios

10/10 Excellent

"This spot was exactly what we were needing when we stayed in town for a recent graduation! It was within walking distance of restaurants and breweries! We enjoyed the space and layout, along with having a private garage space which was perfect. We were close enough to all the things we wanted to be near, and even took in an Iowa Cubs game since it was so close! The only thing that I would note (and this is obviously no fault of the property owner) is that there was a rather loud sideshow that erupted at the intersection down the street one of the evenings we were there. Plenty of loud exhaust, squealing tires, and music to be heard. So more of an FYI than anything that would turn me away from booking this location. My family and I would be happy to book this location again when we are back in Des Moines!"
