Top Des Moines Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The only issue I took is that there was no message about the lack of parking in the property and where to park is spare lot was full."

Hyatt Place West Des Moines Jordan Creek

2/10 Terrible

"Due to an unforseen family emergency we had to cut short our stay. The front desk girl said no problem, it would just be an early departure. Then I get the bill and they charged me the same nightly rate had I stayed there. There was never a mention of any early departure fee. I'd give them zero stars of possible. Would not recommend."

Motel 6 West Des Moines, IA

Motel 6 West Des Moines, IA

8/10 Good

"The clerks I interacted with were very pleasant. The manager on the other hand was HORRID ~ VERY RUDE! I liked that there was no carpet in the room. I really really really didn't like that the doors were not automatic. Made it very challenging to get the luggage in especially since it was 2 doors. Would I stay again? Probably."
