Des Moines (IA) hotels & accommodations
The entrance to the hotel from the main road is not lighted making it hard to see at night. Walls are thin enough to hear your neighbors partying all night, which happened one of the nights I was there.
Very pleasant stay. Booked a room for our return trip on checkout. Very dog friendly. Staff was great. Breakfast bar very well set up. Bed was great and was the view of the river. We had a beautiful sunrise view.
We were pleasantly surprised by this Hotel, doesn’t look much upon arrival, but once you step inside it’s fantastic Super close to the airport, less than 5 minute drive, heaps of parking Awesome pool area Large breakfast area, food was ok, struggled to get hot water and hot food, maybe just unlucky with times we went Laundry was great and easy to use the machines Best...
- Your standard fare budget hotel. Windows slide open, which is good for fresh air. - Des Moines is a big suburban sprawl and this place is close to the highway...location is fine. - Rooms are kind of old, carpet all over the place...again, your standard American budget hotel.
Good place to stay. Be prepared to pay for parking. Did not know of this charge when room was booked. $20 additional cost. So many hotels charge this. Only negative to being downtown.
Our room was ok. We had no hot water our entire stay. Talked to staff about it in person and was unresolved. Water park was beyond disgusting. There was mold growing in toilets and garbage cans in bathrooms. Wads of toilet paper everywhere. I almost threw up. Lifeguards were half asleep and inconsistent with rules if they enforced them at all. The stairs leading up t...
The hotel was right off the highway, literally there. So it was noisy. Also at 2:30 in the morning people are down below standing on the sidewalk talking rather loud. Woke us up and I turned the air down to have a kick in and make noise. Also, had a smell of smoking from previous users.
The light switches didn't work, and the windows were unlocked. Overall, the stay was disappointing for the cost of the room in Des Moines.
Breakfast was good, waffles and other assorted foods. Beds were comfy and the pool was fun
A little awkward to get into, but surprisingly a very, very nice room & facility
They need to buy decent mattresses these are horrible or worn out one of the two
This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've stayed here, and I'm never disappointed. The staff is always on point, and you just can't beat the value/quality of the room for the money! The Continental Breakfast is the perfect start to another leg of your journey on the road :)
3 times comes to knock door for room cleaning before check out.
Pros-Front desk clerk was kind and helpful. Cons-chose a nonsmoking room but the hotel reeked of smoke; pool was overchlorinated and my toddler threw up immediately after; obnoxious residents were cursing and harassing people at the elevator (not the hotel’s fault, but didn’t help the experience). We ended up checking out on the day we arrived and drove 2 hours home r...
Our family was very pleased with the accommodations at the Holiday Inn Express Des Moines at Drake University. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was very nice to be so close to the University.
Very good
The only Pro this place would have would be the fact that it's near the freeway. Like I said they are racist, the lady assumed because I was Hispanic I was Mexican and she stated how well they clean and assumed I was on business cleaning. They were very nonchalant to our issues. The hotel charged twice on our credit card. And they refused to go above and beyond to get ...

The location was excellent for the purpose of our trip, Gymnastics Nationals held at HyVee/Wells Fargo Arena. The room and facilities were also good. The food service however was extremely disappointing. The quality of the food was great but the hotel restaurant and bar were significantly under staffed for the big week filled with gymnasts and families who had booked u...
