Top State Historical Museum of Iowa Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"It was a very nice hotel to stay in. Very clean. Very close to the Casey’s Center!"

Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I don’t do reviews often but this stay exceeded my expectations. There was some paint chipping and drywall issues in the room, one of the lamp outlets did not work, but otherwise the room was clean and had virtually anything you wanted for amenities. Free breakfast was a bonus and very good. Parking was easy although it cost an extra $20. Friendly staff. I would stay here again."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"No issues what so ever. The check in and check out process were very fast and efficient. All staff were extremely friendly. The room was clean and larger than expected. Parking across the street was less expensive than originally thought, $7 instead of $10. The entrance was a little congested for a check in right before 4 pm, but they had an attendant that was moving cars through and even asked for my keys to move my car if needed while I went inside."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I. loved the very clean room, excellent pillows, amazing bathroom lighting, and the fact that even with a full hotel, elevators were coming quickly. The food at our luncheon and banquet was meh, but that was ok. Bathrooms at our convention got dirty and should have been serviced between our breaks, but otherwise everything was very good. One problem however, we reserved a room with two queens and they gave us a king, so we cancelled our reservation and came back by Expedia. A bit more pricey, but still fine."
