Top State Historical Museum of Iowa Hotel Reviews

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Everything was clean. The room was comfortable. The only issue I had was the lack of information. There was no map or anything to show you where the exercise room was or the layout of the hotel.You could order room service but you really didn't know should you use an app or should you call there's no information there to direct you or assist you and trying to determine what the valet's number is. Besides that everything else was great."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"It was gorgeous and so clean. Great Downtown location. Was bummed we didn’t try any of the restaurants onsite. My only gripe is the water bottle situation. They only give you 2 a day then didn’t refresh with housekeeping. When we asked for additional we got a lecture about being charged. Other Hilton properties arent as stingy about this."
