Top Iowa Events Center Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

10/10 Excellent

"We spent one night here, on the drive from Colorado to Ohio. The hotel is clean, quiet, well maintained and easily accessed from I-80. The late night front desk staff was great. Our room was clean and had all of the amenities we needed. We REALLY appreciate the fee for a dog being only $10. Breakfast was decent. More plant based options would be appreciated. We would definitely consider staying there again."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"No issues what so ever. The check in and check out process were very fast and efficient. All staff were extremely friendly. The room was clean and larger than expected. Parking across the street was less expensive than originally thought, $7 instead of $10. The entrance was a little congested for a check in right before 4 pm, but they had an attendant that was moving cars through and even asked for my keys to move my car if needed while I went inside."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"I. loved the very clean room, excellent pillows, amazing bathroom lighting, and the fact that even with a full hotel, elevators were coming quickly. The food at our luncheon and banquet was meh, but that was ok. Bathrooms at our convention got dirty and should have been serviced between our breaks, but otherwise everything was very good. One problem however, we reserved a room with two queens and they gave us a king, so we cancelled our reservation and came back by Expedia. A bit more pricey, but still fine."

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"
