Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"As always an excellent choice. Our room was gorgeous. Breakfast was fantastic. Christmas get away was better because of this hotel. "

Adventureland Inn

Adventureland Inn

2/10 Terrible
"Our stay was terrible. The room had tile flooring which was cold and made the room echo. The trim around the bottom of the bathroom wall was coming off. The shower drain was so clogged that you were standing in water about an inch or two above your ankle. We did,however, keep getting told by the person that checked us in that we had a private patio. It was winter time and it faced the parking lot. We will never stay there again. "
