Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Close to event shuttle bus to casey center... Great time"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the bed was so comfy!! Location was perfect, we could walk to many bars and restaurants. They had plenty of towels in the bathroom .The only two things I would complain about it that the elevator wasn’t working to the parking garage and they didn’t have any extra toilet paper paper in the bathroom."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! The room was amazing!! We loved the two rooms and kitchenette! Plus it’s super conveniently located close to downtown and Casey’s Center! Easy walk over to our Concert! All the staff from the restaurant, bar, registration, breakfast buffet servers, pool, everything was just top notch! We loved the hospitality and the valet service!! It was the best! Also we decided to book for Iowa State Fair after our stay!"
