Hotels near World Food Prize Hall of Laureates 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.

Our visit was for a girls shopping trip. We absolutely loved the Clive LaQuinta hotel. Hotel was lovely, beds and pillows comfortable, breakfast was great and staff were friendly! We had a problem with our TV and the front desk came right up and fixed it. The room darkening curtains didn’t work the best- our room stayed pretty light all night so that would be the only problem we had but it really wasn’t a problem. Loved it!

Not the ritzy-est of hotels, but clean, comfortable and very pet friendly. Staff goes above and beyond. So nice!!! I was traveling with my dogs and my puppy had an accident on the bedding. They were awesome about it and told me not to worry. They even found the kong toy for my puppy mixed in with my linens and took the extra time to pull it out and save it for me at the front desk. Made the mistake of staying in West Des Moines at a Best Western Plus... trust me, Stay here instead

The staff was so friendly! We had a bit of miscommunication between the hotel and trip.com regarding payment, but they got it worked out quickly and the staff were quick to make things right for us! We enjoyed both the hot tub & pool and both were exactly what we needed!! The hotel was far enough from downtown to be peaceful but close enough that everything was accessible. The biggest thing that stood out was how accommodating the staff were. Absolutely recommend.
