Top Iowa State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews
Hilton Des Moines Downtown
8/10 Good
"Stayed in the sky suite very spacious. The only downfall the shower door slides to left and the fixed glass should have been right to prevent water from getting on the floor and you have this stainless drain cover if you step on it causes it to be ajar and a slipping hazard just a poor layout for this reason I wouldn’t stay at that property again"
Des Lux Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay and the ambience of the hotel lobby area. We are excited to stay next year also and look forward to utilizing the hot tub area, massage room, sauna, and workout area"

Sleep Inn & Suites Pleasant Hill - Des Moines
8/10 Good
"The check in gal was wonderful. The breakfast lady was working hard and helpful. It was really irritating to get in the shower and reach for the shampoo and it was empty...wet hair for nothing and there was not bath soap in the shower, just a bar by the sink...not so great when you didn't notice and were already wet."

Charming 2-bedroom house on a quiet secluded street . With Wi-Fi
10/10 Excellent
"This is an immaculately clean, beautifully renovated property with new appliances in a very quiet part of Des Moines, stayed 3 nights on our trip to the Iowa State Fair, very walkable to the Fairgrounds, perfect to avoid the traffic and parking. We enjoyed the quiet space on the deck off the master bedroom in the morning and evening. In the event that we’re ever back in Des Moines again, I would absolutely book again. I had originally booked 2 nights, and when plans changed, the host was able to accommodate an extra day, had great, prompt communication and check in was a breeze."
