Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham des Moines Airport ★★

📍 1901 Hackley Ave, Des Moines

"There was a shuttle bus to the airport, which was very convenient! The facilities were a little old, so the elevator stopped midway, which was scary. The staff was very kind, and although it was a short stay, it was a good one."

Baymont by Wyndham des Moines Airport
9.0 (112 reviews)

Baymont by Wyndham des Moines Airport ★★

📍 6221 Willow Crk Ave, Des Moines

"We stayed here for two nights to drop off my kid at college. The hotel was very close to the airport, yet surprisingly quiet! Also, i was able to deliver some packages to the hotel and pick them up on the way to the college - very very convenient. Their recreation room, the gym and the pool are better than most other hotels we tried. The staff are super friendly."

Hotel Fort des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton
9.4 (103 reviews)

Hotel Fort des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton ★★★★

📍 1000 Walnut St, Des Moines

"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
8.8 (106 reviews)

Fairfield Inn & Suites des Moines Downtown ★★★

📍 207 Crocker St, Des Moines

"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."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham des Moines Airport ★★
"The hotel is convenient, located close to the airport, there is a free transfer to the airport, but it was impossible to sleep in the room because of the neighbors, very poor soundproofing, you could hear literally every rustle, the breakfast is very poor, but for its price it is very good, suitable for spending one night"
