This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Absolutely beautiful historic building with a grand scale and fully updated modern rooms. The design and comfort is impeccable. Large room and bathroom, but not so large that it isn’t cozy. Perfect in my opinion. The onsite dining options are fantastic for world class breakfast lunch and dinner at very reasonable prices. And the coffee is amazing. There were a couple of quirks in the room—the sound of trickling water whenever the ac turned...

First time staying in a Staybridge. Love it! Only thing I can say is you need better maintenance on your Heater/AC unit filters as it was filthy.

I always love my stays at the AC Hotel Des Moines. The staff are always friendly. I got to meet the new front desk host Heather, who was great. Tim, the shuttle driver, is always so good and so accommodating, and always asks how my mom is doing. And it was good to see Quincy again, also on shuttle duty, and Sheila at the front desk.
I didn’t get a chance to see Nicholas and Peyton this trip, which is a shame b/c they always make me feel welcome and I’ve known Nicholas for probably six...

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the nightly rate for a Bed and Breakfast in Des Moines?
Prices for B&Bs in Des Moines often vary, but you can find a great deal from $148 with Expedia. All sorts of factors affect price, such as location and the time of year. It usually costs more to stay at Des Moines B&Bs over the weekend too. Travelers can find the best deals by being flexible with their dates, and by using our filters to sort prices from low to high.
When is the best time to book a Bed and Breakfast in Des Moines?
The best time to book a B&B in Des Moines is during the vibrant summer months, particularly from June to August. This period attracts travelers looking to enjoy the city's lively atmosphere, marked by outdoor festivals, farmers' markets, and a variety of cultural events. With warm temperatures averaging between the mid-70s to low 90s Fahrenheit, it’s an ideal time for exploring the city's beautiful parks and waterfront areas.
July stands out as the peak month, bustling with activity and energy. Visitors can immerse themselves in local traditions, such as the Iowa State Fair, which showcases the best of Iowa's agriculture, cuisine, and entertainment. The fair provides a unique opportunity to savor delicious food and enjoy live performances, making it a highlight of the summer experience.
For those seeking a more budget-friendly option, consider visiting in early spring, particularly April. This month offers a charming atmosphere as the city begins to bloom, with flowers and greenery coming to life. The milder temperatures in the 50s to 70s Fahrenheit make it comfortable for leisurely strolls through the Des Moines Art Center, or enjoying the scenic views at Gray's Lake Park, all while encountering fewer crowds.
