Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful rooms. Very clean. Classy hotel"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"location. street parking"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

8/10 Good

"My stay at Home2 Suites was comfortable and enjoyable, and the breakfast was the highlight. The options were fresh, well-prepared, and perfect for starting the day. The staff kept everything stocked and clean, making the whole experience easy and relaxing. I’d happily stay again."

"The Hay Loft" - Hot Tub - Game Room - Fire Pit - Office - Family FUN

10/10 Excellent

"Great property. Very clean. Decorated nicely. Provided all of the necessary essentials. Great communication with hosts. Would definitely book again."

Beautiful remodeled historic Drake Univ home minutes from downtown and all metro

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for my son’s wedding. Lots of room for us all and things to keep us busy. Great host with lists of small thoughtful things to make our stay nice. Would definitely stay here again."

Forest Ave Historic Rutledge home 8 beds close to everything in the metro.

10/10 Excellent

"We were happy with this house. Lots of room for our family. The beds were all very comfortable, had lots of pillows and blankets. One room did not have a window unit but we brought a fan with us that we use at night and that seemed to work just fine for the room. Having all the toys, books and games was such a happy surprise for my kids. They spent hours playing with everything, and it was nice to have that and not worry that we didn’t bring enough things to keep them entertained. I will say one of the other room did have a very strong cat urine odor. I am not sure where it was coming from, but it was only that room. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basic tools needed for cooking meals. Having a large dinning area was very nice to eat at.The living room was very comfortable.It was nice to be closely located to everything we wanted to go to and also close to many grocery stores. We would definitely stay there again."

The CORN CRIB: Spa - Game Room - BBQ - Office - DOWNTOWN - Sleeps 14

10/10 Excellent

"House was immaculate, beds were comfortable, hosts had thought of everything to make guests time enjoyable, posting pertinent info throughout the house, allowing us to check in early. The house has been updated to optimize space, and decorated really well. There was plenty of space for my teen kids, a few of their friends, and I during a two night stay while attending the IA State Fair. My kids had a blast playing just dance on the 3rd floor game room and using the hot tub nightly. The nightly price may have been increased due to demand during the IA state fair, but it seemed a little high for the age of the home and neighborhood. Aside from that, which is expected based on standard business principles, we had a 5 star stay."
