Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. The room had nice amenities and style. Easy parking."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"No issues what so ever. The check in and check out process were very fast and efficient. All staff were extremely friendly. The room was clean and larger than expected. Parking across the street was less expensive than originally thought, $7 instead of $10. The entrance was a little congested for a check in right before 4 pm, but they had an attendant that was moving cars through and even asked for my keys to move my car if needed while I went inside."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We agreed this was one of our favorite hotels we have stayed in! The room size felt functional, large and luxurious. We especially loved the window sills in our room, to kinda sit and be able to watch what was going on downtown. Walkable to everything you could need, amazing decor throughout the entire hotel, and the breakfast selection was great. Loved this stay so much!"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I. loved the very clean room, excellent pillows, amazing bathroom lighting, and the fact that even with a full hotel, elevators were coming quickly. The food at our luncheon and banquet was meh, but that was ok. Bathrooms at our convention got dirty and should have been serviced between our breaks, but otherwise everything was very good. One problem however, we reserved a room with two queens and they gave us a king, so we cancelled our reservation and came back by Expedia. A bit more pricey, but still fine."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Nice staff! Convenient location…"

A lush, green-themed retreat home in Des Moines’ vibrant East Village.

10/10 Excellent

"I was offered a different place on the day of my check-in. The unit I booked was on the 2nd floor, but the unit I received was on the fourth floor. The issues: This is next to a Railroad track and the trains during the night blow their whistles. At least 4 times after 10 pm and during the night. The AC system is not working, there is an AC unit full of dust by the window and a floor fan, which I ended up using. There's a lot of dust and dirt by the floors near the windows. Toilet bowl was dirty. 1 towel for my 3 night stay. Bed linen, the fitted sheet (covering the mattress) was a little small and kept coming off. The Good: Good location near the Des Moines village (10 minute walk). Quick and Responsive host. Free - 12pm late check out."
