Hotels near Iowa Events Center in Des Moines

Shuttle was right there as I came out of the airport from my late flight & hotel is super close to airport. So it was a quick trip, quick check in and quick to bed. The bed was hard to me but I’m one of those people that loves a soft bed. The breakfast the next morning was great and was able to enjoy it before getting picked up by Enterprise for my car.

Stayed here while visiting family in Des Moines. Pleasantly surprised by the overall condition of the property. Usually airport motels are rough and run down. Not this one. The check in was smooth and very friendly. We got a room just off the lobby. Quiet. Room was super clean. Carpet fresh. Bathroom was new looking. No complaints. Bed very comfortable and slept so well. The pool area was very clean, ample towels, and nice size. Water was crystal clear and looked like the pool had been renovated, cause so clean and pure. Only complaint I would have is that the hot tub was not working. I would definitely stay here again.

This was one of the worst hotels I've ever stayed at. Our first room had a ”view” of the atrium (and I use that word generously), meaning that we would need to keep the curtains closed at all times. We didn't keep that room for long though -- not after discovering more problems (no soap in the bathroom, somebody's ice packs in the refrigerator and worst of all WADDED-UP DIRTY CLOTHES IN THE DRESSER). I called the front desk about the problems and they said they would inspect another room so we could move. Thirty minutes later, our 2nd room was only slightly better. We wiped down all the surfaces with Clorox wipes and saw that the bathroom counter was especially dirty. Basic things you need in a room were absent -- we had only two hangers in the closet, and no luggage rack. Both rooms' sinks and bathtubs were dated and rusty. Someone else in our group rushed over to Wal-Mart to buy flip- flops because she didn't want her feet to touch the bathroom floor or tub. Way, way overpriced at $154/night including taxes. If we hadn't been stuck at this property because of a group reservation, we would have asked for a refund and bailed out.

When picking up the plane, the hotel asked me to take a taxi from the airport, the hotel paid the money, when the plane was delivered, the hotel staff drove it by themselves and the service was very good. The hotel is in the city, but because it is a big winter, it is cold outside, the river is frozen, the road is frozen, so there is almost no outdoor activity, just walked down SKYWALK, an indoor passage connecting many buildings in the city. There is also heating inside, and the city is small.

Second time staying here and it never disappoints! Was nice during covid and even better now! The room was very clean, the bathroom spacious and the bed and pillows!!! I did not want to get out of bed in the morning!! We come down once a year for a date night and this is our favorite hotel to stay at! The hot breakfast in the morning is amazing! Biscuits/gravy, sausage links, scrambled egg circles with cheese, cinnamon rolls (fresh made in waffle iron) or waffles, cereals, assorted rolls, yogurt; juices. Something for everyone!!

Very good hotel, every service staff is very patient... I can hardly speak English, and I can use translation software to be barrier-free... Good breakfast, very good drop-off service... Very close to the airport... The big supermarket next to it is convenient Shopping for food... I haven't commented on Ctrip for many years, this hotel is worth recommending...
