Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We purchased the breakfast and early check in and out. Our reservation said resort credits but since it didn’t say what those credits were we didn’t get the breakfast we paid for. This was very disappointing to pay extra and not get it but I feel this is expedias fault not so much the hotel’s since Expedia did not specify those credits to the hotel. Very disappointing since we splurged for a date not away from our 5 kids which rarely happens."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, plenty of parking nearby in a large garage across the street, friendly staff (especially the morning breakfast manager gentleman), clean. The towel bar in room 709 bathroom is partially pulled from the wall. But the shower really needs work. There’s one of those half-door/wall deals that completely floods the bathroom floor. It’s really frustrating."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this hotel! From Des Moines but been gone a LONG time and wanted to try a fun new hotel. This place was perfect for my wife and I. Location is perfect, staff were amazing, and the room was really fun. Was a bit worried about some road construction going on during our stay but while we could hear some noise, the blackout curtains and the comfy bed helped us sleep in. We will definitely be coming back here for our DM trips!"

Hilton Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"No hot tub, pool was a bit cooler than we liked. We had a cupboard door that was needing hinge repair, which I requested twice but no repair was done. Everything else was great! Room was nice, beds comfy, pillows were awesome! I was able to get shuttle service to the airport very early. I requested extra coffee, creamer and plastic forks which were promptly delivered by the staff. Elevators require a room key to go anywhere except main lobby, so the room areas were fairly secure. All in all, it's one of the nicer hotels I've stayed in."
