Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Wow! The room was amazing!! We loved the two rooms and kitchenette! Plus it’s super conveniently located close to downtown and Casey’s Center! Easy walk over to our Concert! All the staff from the restaurant, bar, registration, breakfast buffet servers, pool, everything was just top notch! We loved the hospitality and the valet service!! It was the best! Also we decided to book for Iowa State Fair after our stay!"

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"They had clean rooms and the staff was very friendly. The parking is the problem. There is a crumbling parking lot, that they know of and no one is allowed to park there. Understandable, but it would be helpful to let people know that you cant pull up to the building and park. This is not accessible for handicap people. Just recommend they let people know that when they book there is a problem with there parking lot, which we all would understand, just let people know that there is an issue and you are working on it."
