Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel property is very well maintained. The elevators, hallways, lobby and dining areas are very clean. I frequent the ladies room on the main floor that I s very clean. My room was excellent as was the bathroom, kitchen, bedding and storage areas. We went to the pool area and it was clean however needed some towels and the drain in front of the lounge chairs was not draining."

"Perfect stay for our family going to WWE at the Casey’s center. There was a sky walk, so we didn’t have to take our young children outside to walk back at 10pm. The staff were super helpful. The hotel was clean & nice rooms. The bed was comfortable and the shower was huge. I would recommend this hotel to anyone!"

"The staff there was very helpful brought by bags up to the room for us. The shuttle service was also very kind and friendly when needing a ride to and from our event. Cleaning support was also friendly and helpful in getting more towels and cleaning our room. Starbucks in the hotel was great in the early mornings"

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here despite having some plumping issues in the first room we were given. Upon notifying staff of the issues we were having, we got upgraded to a larger room at no cost. The staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. Both rooms were nice and clean. The free breakfast was also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again!"
