Top Iowa State Capitol Building Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"none"

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"I have only given a 3 because despite having renovation which were not currently on my floor, the hallways were very dirty. It appears they have not been vacuuming for weeks, there was ball of hair outside our door, the whole hallway was very nasty. Picking up and vacuum could have done the trick. The room inside was clean and spacious."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"No issues what so ever. The check in and check out process were very fast and efficient. All staff were extremely friendly. The room was clean and larger than expected. Parking across the street was less expensive than originally thought, $7 instead of $10. The entrance was a little congested for a check in right before 4 pm, but they had an attendant that was moving cars through and even asked for my keys to move my car if needed while I went inside."

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."
