Top Polk County Courthouse Hotel Reviews

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!"

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Perfect location, great room with everything we needed. Fabulous breakfast buffet! Only complaint is dim lighting in the bathroom area. I truly don't understand that decision."

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

"Breakfast"

Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Staybridge Suites was easy to find and conveniently located between downtown Des Moines and the Iowa State Capitol. Check-in was friendly and efficient. Parking was available in the multi-storey car park next door for $20 per night. My room was a good size, with modern décor and a useful kitchenette area. The reception staff were also very helpful in directing me to the nearby pickup point for the shuttle bus to the Iowa State Fair. The impressive State Capitol is well worth visiting and only a 10–15-minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding area was very quiet during my stay, although this was on a Sunday evening. There were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but most were largely deserted that evening. Breakfast was served downstairs and offered a good selection of both hot and cold items. Overall, this was a peaceful and convenient place for an overnight stay in Des Moines. I am not sure there would be enough in the immediate area to occupy me for more than a couple of nights, but it suited my visit very well."

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."

10/10 Excellent

"The prioperty was exactly as described. Very spacious, clean and a great value for the price. The location was excellent as we needed to be in downtown Des Moines. The only negative at all was the sketchy feel to the neighborhood. The Bodega next to the property entrance always had a number of people milling around day and night, and there was a Police presence there several times which made us wonder. We had no problems personally. "

Silver Screen Getaway - Downtown 2 blocks to Court

10/10 Excellent

"The host was very thorough in giving instructions for parking and check in and check out times. They also responded very quickly with any additional questions I had.It was the perfect spot to host our family Christmas gathering. We watched several movies and made popcorn and door dashed Fongs pizza. Great experience overall!"
