Top Des Moines Art Center Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel. The room had nice amenities and style. Easy parking."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We agreed this was one of our favorite hotels we have stayed in! The room size felt functional, large and luxurious. We especially loved the window sills in our room, to kinda sit and be able to watch what was going on downtown. Walkable to everything you could need, amazing decor throughout the entire hotel, and the breakfast selection was great. Loved this stay so much!"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"Rooms were clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was ok, parking close bye, everything was a bit dated, but would recommend"

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable beds"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I. loved the very clean room, excellent pillows, amazing bathroom lighting, and the fact that even with a full hotel, elevators were coming quickly. The food at our luncheon and banquet was meh, but that was ok. Bathrooms at our convention got dirty and should have been serviced between our breaks, but otherwise everything was very good. One problem however, we reserved a room with two queens and they gave us a king, so we cancelled our reservation and came back by Expedia. A bit more pricey, but still fine."
