Top Maxwell Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Super sharp property. Great location to explore downtown."

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast service area was very well designed and worked much better than most. The breakfast was excellent. Our only complaint was that apparently someone in an adjoining room was smoking in their bathroom with the vent fan. In any event, cigarette was coming into our bathroom. After I turned on our vent fan, the smoke was expelled, and everything smelled clear again in a short time."
