Top State Historical Museum of Iowa Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"Just fine"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"The staff there was very helpful brought by bags up to the room for us. The shuttle service was also very kind and friendly when needing a ride to and from our event. Cleaning support was also friendly and helpful in getting more towels and cleaning our room. Starbucks in the hotel was great in the early mornings"

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here despite having some plumping issues in the first room we were given. Upon notifying staff of the issues we were having, we got upgraded to a larger room at no cost. The staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. Both rooms were nice and clean. The free breakfast was also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again!"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our stay was decent overall. The biggest downside was the parking situation. Parking is located in a garage across the street, but that wasn't disclosed when we booked the room. It would have been helpful to know that in advance so we could plan accordingly. Aside from that, everything else was fine, and we had a pleasant enough stay."

Comfy Studio Suite | Indoor Pool, Hot Tub

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent for business or solo traveller. Secure, comfortable, friendly, clean & quiet hotel. Great location downtown. Pool and hot tub open early to late. Roomy and well-appointed suite. Breakfast available and included if you need it, with a good selection and nice dining space."
