Top Iowa State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews
Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Des Moines Fairgrounds Area
10/10 Excellent
"The place is very clean and the room is very cozy and we got to have some very good breakfast and that was close to the event that I was going to"
Des Lux Hotel
8/10 Good
"My only complaint was cheap toilet paper!"
Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown
10/10 Excellent
"We had an amazing stay! Our room was clean and huge. Location is absolutely perfect to go downtown, West or even Adventureland. The staff was very accommodating and very pleasant. I would definitely stay here again."
Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"Loved the hotel and the restaurants. Will stay here again"
Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown
8/10 Good
"Our room was lovely even with the age. I would stay again. The only reason it does not get all stars is when I went downstairs to use the bathroom, the floor to the women’s bathroom was gross and had not been cleaned for awhile and two stall broken and the only operating stall had a broken lock, so not sure how that works for children going to the bathroom after swimming or working out. Clean that up and you have all stars for location, staff and nice views."
WoodSpring Suites Des Moines Pleasant Hill
10/10 Excellent
"I had a great experience staying at WoodSpring Suites in Pleasant Hill, Iowa. The staff was absolutely amazing and always helpful. Tonya was especially wonderful—she always greeted me with a smile, was friendly, helpful, and never made me feel like I was a bother. She truly made my stay more comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a clean, friendly place with great customer service. Thank you to Tonya and the entire staff for making my stay such a positive experience!"
Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center
