Sonesta Essential Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean and quiet. Easy access off the interstate."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great check-in experience, staff very friendly and knowledgeable. While this hotel is an older property the only place it was noticeable was the bathtub in our room. Other than that it is a beautiful place to stay and very comfortable. Great social hour in the evenings and breakfast buffett in the mornings, both complimentary with your stay. Due to the decor of the hotel common area you actually feel like you are at a tropical resort."

AmericInn by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at AmericInn by Wyndham Des Moines Airport! Everyone was so nice, respectful, and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, and housekeeping did a great job throughout our stay. The location was convenient, close to the airport, with an airport shuttle available a great bonus! Thank you to the staff for making us feel welcome. We would happily stay here again!"
