Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful old hotel was very quiet. Bed was super comfortable, loved the historic lighting, shower, attention to detail."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The entire hotel was amazing. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. Huge bathroom. Loved the fireplace. The decorations were unique and stylish. Even our time in the hot tub was good. One of the better hotels I've stayed at in years. The breakfast is what a usual hotel breakfast was, before everybody else went cheap."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The break fast and snack were good"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"The stay was fine. The beds are very hard and some people like hard beds but I prefer a cushy bed. The room was pretty clean but there were some hairs scattered about. In my opinion this was an average Marriott in which I consider Marriott to be higher end. This hotel would be more appropriately branded as a four points. The people are nice, room service and food was good, but asked for some utensils and took them 2 hours to bring to the room. I had already gone down to the coffee shop and grabbed some bagged utensils. Shuttle driver Jeff was the star of the show. He was amazing, took us to the fair and airport. Very nice guy, reliable and had tons of information. Food is lacking in the area on a weekend, but the hotel food was good. Probably wouldn’t stay here again though because of nothing open on the weekends and the hard beds."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Their total parking lot was unavailable. A small lot was set aside for hotel parking. It was NOT enough. Towing signs were posted everywhere else near by. Free breakfast ended up being only for young children."

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hdhskdjsbsj"

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."

Kasa Downtown Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place to stay and it was clean. I was charged for a damaged side table that was damaged prior to my arrival. They investigated and realized I was not the one who damaged the side table and returned the fee they initially charged."

Residence Inn by Marriott Des Moines Ankeny

8/10 Good

"Our experience was very good. The room was very nice and spaceous. The bed was hard for our liking but may have been perfect for others. The staff was very polite, courteous and helpful. The property was beautiful and updated."
