Top Elkhart Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Exceptional facilities, first rate staff, fun speakeasy, every aspect of short stay was perfect. I’ll return."

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is our favorite when visiting Ames. The location is ideal. The staff is friendly and always been helpful. The rooms are modern and clean. The restaurant and bar are very convenient if you don't want to leave the property to seek out food/drinks. We have not used the amenities such as weight room, pool, etc. so I can't speak to that."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"Overall our experience was great. We were a little disappointed as the cottage room we were in this time was not as good as the cottage room we had the time before. Apparently they are not all the same and you never know what what you might get. Overall this is still one of the better hotels we have ever stayed at."
