Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was great. Beds were comfortable. Only issues we had was the pool was so cold, our kids didn’t want to swim more than 15 minutes. One of our rooms didn’t have a microwave but they were adjoining so not a big deal for us. "

Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The AC wasn't working right, so we got moved to a new room with an upgrade. The breakfast was the best I have seen with even a few vegetables available and one type of cereals that was gluten-free. The view was the only downside but we loved being downtown."
