Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location and nice amenities"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This property was the calm in the midst of the storm. The staff was so kind and helpful when it came to assisting us with checking in and finding another night for us in the hotel. All of the staff took their time in answering all of our questions and treated us with so much respect. We are grateful."

Hilton Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"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!"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay was decent overall. The biggest downside was the parking situation. Parking is located in a garage across the street, but that wasn't disclosed when we booked the room. It would have been helpful to know that in advance so we could plan accordingly. Aside from that, everything else was fine, and we had a pleasant enough stay."
