Top Des Moines Public Library Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Checking in was a challenge because there were several people gathered around the couch and tv in the lobby who were very loud and noisy. It made it very hard to hear what the receptionist was asking me. Maybe having a couch there isn’t the best idea because it invites groups to gather there."

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"
