Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"X"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room looked very clean until we pulled the bed out of the couch and found old wrapers and crumbs. Other then that everything was great including the breakfast and the pool area. Would stay again. The biggest thing I loved about the stay was they had a parking garage to park in. Yes it does cost to stay in it but I'd pay it to keep my vehicle safe and not have to fight for a street parking that u have to Pay for every 4 hours."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Good hotel. Friendly staff. Location not too bad. However if you click on directions to hotel (from hotel.com app) it didn’t take us right to the hotel so that was a bit of a pain."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I recently had the most wonderful time staying at this beautiful hotel in the heart of the city. The spacious suites provided such a comfortable retreat after a long day of exploring local landmarks 🏙️. I was thoroughly impressed by the friendly service and the delicious breakfast options available each morning. It is truly the perfect location for anyone looking to enjoy the vibrant culture nearby 🎭. My experience was absolutely flawless, and I cannot wait to return for another relaxing visit soon. Thank you to the entire team for making my stay so memorable and pleasant!"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"This place was great! Perfect location for walking to all the things! The staff were amazing, the lady at the front desk was so welcoming and kind. Breakfast was very good! Room was clean, spacious and bed was comfy!"

2 units in 1! Silver Screen Getaway - Downtown Dsm

10/10 Excellent

"The prioperty was exactly as described. Very spacious, clean and a great value for the price. The location was excellent as we needed to be in downtown Des Moines. The only negative at all was the sketchy feel to the neighborhood. The Bodega next to the property entrance always had a number of people milling around day and night, and there was a Police presence there several times which made us wonder. We had no problems personally. "
