Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The coolest hotel with so much character. Staff were amazing, very friendly and helpful. Room was perfect. Clean, fresh and great view. Breakfast was delicious. The sandwich and coffee were great. Walking distance to many other restaurants. This will be the hotel I stay at in Des Moines from now on. Will also recommend to all my family and friends. Thank you for a great stay! "

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Over all great stay 👌 was happy to hear next time we will be back the renovation project will be done. It does need a little tlc but overall Wonderfull weekend Parking was very convenient, breakfast was good, sofa bed was not great 🙃 Location was PERFECT "

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"Only stay here if you want an educational experience. My children got to witness three people overdosing in the car next to ours as we were leaving the “secure parking lot”. There also was a group of college girls in the room next to us that blasted music till 3 am. After attempting to call the front desk 4 times at midnight and no one answering, I gave up and just laid awake till they turned it off. When raising my concerns with the front desk in the morning, they were less than helpful. I asked the guy there if he was there last night because I had attempted to call, he replied no. When I told him why he said “oh”. And did absolutely nothing."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

6/10 Okay

"The location was great, so many places within walking distance. One of the reasons we chose this hotel was it advertised free parking - which was not true. It was $38/night to valet or parking was $10/night in a ramp across the street, which was a bit of a pain to get in and out of. Also, there was an extremely large wedding that occupied not only the ballrooms, but much of the shared common space and the music was so loud, so late, that it was hard to sleep."

Renaissance Des Moines Savery Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The standard rooms are fairly small, especially the bathroom. But they are wonderfully appointed, the bar/lounge is stellar, and the staff (from top to bottom) are fantastically well-trained, helpful, and friendly. I recommend upgrading to a larger room for the perfect stay/experience."
