Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We Had a GREAT experience!!! I would Highly recommend Fairfield Marriott Downtown!! They took Great care of us!! Especially loved the cupboard parking"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and bathroom"

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"Always book here when I come to Des Moines. Rooms are well taken care of and the staff is nice and friendly."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room was somewhat clean and everyone was nice. There were a couple of items that were detached from the wall in the bathroom. It's an older hotel so there could be improvements and updates with the furniture. The fast elevators and complimentary breakfasts were probably the best part and the location was close to the convention center."

Cozy 1-bedroom condo in the heart of Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great weekend in Des Moines and staying in this property allowed us to access the Farmer's Market easily as well as many other activities in the downtown area. Jeff was very responsive to all of my questions! A bonus was that a parking pass was provided in a nearby parking ramp for the weekend, allowing us to come and go as we wanted. Lovely space!"

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"

Stylish & Posh Downtown Mid-Rise Executive Suite
