Top Court District Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was friendly. The breakfast was very good and the room is really clean. We really enjoy staying at this hotel when we're in Des Moines"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"Really great place! It’s pretty fancy for Des Moines, and the atmosphere was excellent. The only thing that threw me off a bit was seeing a homeless man sleeping next to the broken down elevator and the door to the skywalk. Nothing against him you have to do what you have to do but it was a little unexpected and felt out of place with the upscale atmosphere the building was trying to create. Very clean! The amenities that are available are nice also with a great location"
