Top EMC Expo Center Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Nice location and clean place"

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were clean and well appointed for the price point. Staff were welcoming and friendly."

Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"The Staybridge Suites was easy to find and conveniently located between downtown Des Moines and the Iowa State Capitol. Check-in was friendly and efficient. Parking was available in the multi-storey car park next door for $20 per night. My room was a good size, with modern décor and a useful kitchenette area. The reception staff were also very helpful in directing me to the nearby pickup point for the shuttle bus to the Iowa State Fair. The impressive State Capitol is well worth visiting and only a 10–15-minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding area was very quiet during my stay, although this was on a Sunday evening. There were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but most were largely deserted that evening. Breakfast was served downstairs and offered a good selection of both hot and cold items. Overall, this was a peaceful and convenient place for an overnight stay in Des Moines. I am not sure there would be enough in the immediate area to occupy me for more than a couple of nights, but it suited my visit very well."

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"The young man that checked us in was outstanding and we were able to check in early. The hotel room was clean and comfortable but the elevators and outside landscape could use a little clean up. Breakfast was ok but not a fan of it. Parking is $20 per day so we'll find another hotel next time :("

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."

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."

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."
