Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was very quiet and peaceful."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"1st time staying at hotel. But one of the friendliest staff ever came across regardless of the many activities that they had going on. Felt like a priority every time asked questions. The restaurant service had excellent service and excellent food. Next stay in Des Moines will definitely be there!!!"

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very clean however it needs some updating. The air conditioning in our room wouldn’t shut off after reaching thermostat temp so not got very very cold. We ended up just turning it off. Everything was really clean and the breakfast and evening social hour were wonderful. Love the location."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"They had clean rooms and the staff was very friendly. The parking is the problem. There is a crumbling parking lot, that they know of and no one is allowed to park there. Understandable, but it would be helpful to let people know that you cant pull up to the building and park. This is not accessible for handicap people. Just recommend they let people know that when they book there is a problem with there parking lot, which we all would understand, just let people know that there is an issue and you are working on it."
