Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Our family weekend stay was comfortable. The staff was very helpful and suggested several places to eat. The beds were soft and comfortable, and the breakfast was OK. Other than the terrible parking ,( due to the hotel allowing concert goers to use the parking lot resulting in not enough parking spaces for actual hotel guest) ; the stay was good."

Residence Inn Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by a friendly and helpful staff. And the hotel was clean and beautiful. Our room was comfortable and we had an amazing view of the Iowa State Capitol. AMAZING! The pool area was clean and fun! The breakfast was delicious! Easy walking distance to lots of places and dining. We picked Hessen Haus and would go back every time. Hands down a great trip thanks to the hospitality of the hotel and HH. I would add lotion to the amenities and maybe some seltzer waters for purchase. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"
