Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"X"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room looked very clean until we pulled the bed out of the couch and found old wrapers and crumbs. Other then that everything was great including the breakfast and the pool area. Would stay again. The biggest thing I loved about the stay was they had a parking garage to park in. Yes it does cost to stay in it but I'd pay it to keep my vehicle safe and not have to fight for a street parking that u have to Pay for every 4 hours."
