Top Ruan Center Hotel Reviews

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel except for the parking"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"So beautiful. Amazing rooms and services and lobby."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room was somewhat clean and everyone was nice. There were a couple of items that were detached from the wall in the bathroom. It's an older hotel so there could be improvements and updates with the furniture. The fast elevators and complimentary breakfasts were probably the best part and the location was close to the convention center."

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"thanks"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"I was told by others that had stayed at the property that parking was no charge. when we stayed we were told parking was $20.00/night. The room we stayed in had horrible lighting. It was dark especially at night and there were not enough light fixtures to light the space. For older eyes this is especially difficult."

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

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!"
