Clarion Inn Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"The hotel smelled like wet dog. The room was ok. They did shuttle me to and from the airport so that was nice. I was annoyed I had to pay to keep my car parked there while I was on my trip though."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

8/10 Good

"Great location close to many Des Moines attractions. The breakfast was good with many choices. There was scaffolding in the front of the building, so maybe they are working on signage but the entrance is along the side of the building. We went around the block several times to find the hotel and then to find the entrance."
