Holiday Inn Express & Suites Des Moines Downtown, an IHG Hotel
5/5 Excellent
"I rarely write reviews, but after some bad hotel experiences, I really wanted to give kudos to this hotel! The check-in was probably the quickest and easiest check-in, I've ever experienced with a hotel. No matter what staff, I encountered they were all friendly. Parking was hassle free and accessible, which is not always the case when staying close to a downtown area. My kids loved the pool, hot tub and breakfast! Starbuck is across the parking lot as well, which is always nice and convenient. "

Des Lux Hotel
5/5 Excellent
A new favorite place
"I travel to Des Moines a lot. My usual place in the East Village was way overpriced this time (basketball) so I picked Des Luxe, a place I’d passed in the Downtown atea and noticed several times. I loved it. A working fireplace in the room! A piano in the lobby that they let me play. A small but very friendly bar off the lobby. Complimentary breakfast. A short walk to good restaurants/bars. I was sad not to stay in the East Village, but this place changed my mind, this is where I’m staying from now on."
