Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Terrific location, great happy hour, nice staff. Would definitely stay here again"

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Had to move rooms because of the train but that was my fault for not doing better research on the property. Stayed in a room facing the garden side and it was fine as far as train noise. Rooms were nice and clean and beds comfy. We had some issues with the air and shower in room 218. Hopefully they get it fixed for the next people. Breakfast was ok. More options for breakfast would be nice. Great location and close to bars and restaurants."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Always enjoy staying at the Embassy. The location is great! Walking distance to a good Saturday Farmers Market and restaurants and bars. All staff was great except the breakfast guy making omelets. Thought he was just having a bad day but the second morning he was just as crabby and rude. Property is getting a bit worn but still nice and clean. Can't wait to stay again."
