Top Knapp Center Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The room was spacious and clean. Staff very helpful and friendly. Free breakfast. Amazing views. Would highly recommend"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

10/10 Excellent

"Great value for the price. The room was very spacious and had useful bonuses like a fridge and microwave. The included breakfast was also good."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel Fort Des Moines is a beautiful old world hotel in downtown Des Moines with friendly staff and a great location to park and walk just about anywhere! Their speakeasy is fantastic! It has the BEST smoky old fashion I have ever had!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"The young man that checked us in was outstanding and we were able to check in early. The hotel room was clean and comfortable but the elevators and outside landscape could use a little clean up. Breakfast was ok but not a fan of it. Parking is $20 per day so we'll find another hotel next time :("

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The entire hotel was amazing. Our room was immaculate and comfortable. Huge bathroom. Loved the fireplace. The decorations were unique and stylish. Even our time in the hot tub was good. One of the better hotels I've stayed at in years. The breakfast is what a usual hotel breakfast was, before everybody else went cheap."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"The stay was fine. The beds are very hard and some people like hard beds but I prefer a cushy bed. The room was pretty clean but there were some hairs scattered about. In my opinion this was an average Marriott in which I consider Marriott to be higher end. This hotel would be more appropriately branded as a four points. The people are nice, room service and food was good, but asked for some utensils and took them 2 hours to bring to the room. I had already gone down to the coffee shop and grabbed some bagged utensils. Shuttle driver Jeff was the star of the show. He was amazing, took us to the fair and airport. Very nice guy, reliable and had tons of information. Food is lacking in the area on a weekend, but the hotel food was good. Probably wouldn’t stay here again though because of nothing open on the weekends and the hard beds."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Their total parking lot was unavailable. A small lot was set aside for hotel parking. It was NOT enough. Towing signs were posted everywhere else near by. Free breakfast ended up being only for young children."

Beautiful remodeled historic Drake Univ home minutes from downtown and all metro

10/10 Excellent

"It Was 10 Of Us. And This Property, Was Spacious an Inviting. Enough Room For All Us. We Really Enjoyed Our Stay. The Host Ryan Awesome Dude. We Are Looking Forward To Our Next Visit To Iowa.."

Forest Ave Historic Rutledge home 8 beds close to everything in the metro.

10/10 Excellent

"We were happy with this house. Lots of room for our family. The beds were all very comfortable, had lots of pillows and blankets. One room did not have a window unit but we brought a fan with us that we use at night and that seemed to work just fine for the room. Having all the toys, books and games was such a happy surprise for my kids. They spent hours playing with everything, and it was nice to have that and not worry that we didn’t bring enough things to keep them entertained. I will say one of the other room did have a very strong cat urine odor. I am not sure where it was coming from, but it was only that room. The kitchen was well stocked with all the basic tools needed for cooking meals. Having a large dinning area was very nice to eat at.The living room was very comfortable.It was nice to be closely located to everything we wanted to go to and also close to many grocery stores. We would definitely stay there again."
