"Nice and spacious rooms. Good breakfast and great coffee!"

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It was ridiculous to charge $3 for a bottle of generic water in the room, unless you're a special member. Water that probably cost then 10 cents, or less per bottle. Most hotels give 2 complimentary bottles for guests."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"The rooms were nice and comfortable."

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. "
