Hotel Fort des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★
"The snowstorms have started early in Iowa so I was extremely happy to walk into the warm hotel and check in. The desk clerk was friendly but not overly so. Check in was very quick and I was quickly on my way to a beautiful and blessedly warm room. Noise was a bit loud as wedding guests came in after 1am and I was near the elevators. Check out was seamless and breakfast at the hotel cafe was quick, friendly and tasty."

Fairfield Inn & Suites des Moines Downtown ★★★
"I feel like the value for money here is comparable to what you'd find back home in China! The rooms are new, the breakfast is good, and the service is excellent – practically no flaws. I actually think the Fairfield brand is better than Hilton. Even though Hilton Garden Inn is supposed to be a step up, I honestly don't see much difference in the rooms themselves, beyond slightly nicer common areas."
