Top Blank Park Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"The elevator in the parking ramp was broken, so I had to wrestle my luggage down three flights of stairs. Easy solution: valet parking. This hotel is on the historic registry, so if something's broken it must go through careful reviews before any repairs can begin. Just something to be aware of."

Fabulous 2-bedroom house with AC in Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"This house was spotless and the kitchen was stocked with staples. I always appreciate having salt and pepper!! This property is great if you are traveling with small children. The bed in the second bedroom is small… I don’t know how comfortable adults would be in this bed. I was traveling for work (by myself) and this house was perfect!"

Electric Velvet- 3 bedroom stay near downtown Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Spacious house, good for a mid sized group passing through for a sports tournament. Was not thrilled about the size of bathrooms or cleanliness of the home but the host assured us it was a new cleaning crew and would not be an issue moving forward. Quiet neighborhood as well and easily accessible to anything in Des Moines!"

Stylish 2BR Bungalow | Near Airport & Downtown DSM, Newly remodled and close to downtown Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"This property was fabulous; if scale went to 10, it would receive that! The property was perfectly described; recently updated & would remind anyone of a new house! Great amenities; kitchen appliances are newer; stove is flat top, big refrigerator/freezer, microwave, dishwasher is a perk, keurig coffee with pods! Or if prefer regular coffee, theres a small 5 cup, with filters & coffee! Blender, stainless steel pots & pans, plenty of tableware, coffee cups, even spices in the cupboard! This is great because we cooked breakfast & supper. The beds are comfy; master bedroom has tub/shower ensuite, small dresser, bedside tables with drawers & touch lamps with charger plug ins, clothes closet with tons of hangers. Other bedroom has bedside tables too with touch lamps &;charger plug ins. Other bathroom has walkin shower, which is nice as we had 3 people who do much better using walkin shower vs a tub. Plenty of towels, wash clothes, TP; both bathrooms had shower gel & shampoo, liquid hand soap; hair dryer in master. Kitchen had plenty of dishcloths & t towels. Love that kitchen had 2 trash cans: 1 for regular trash & 1 for recyclables! Theres a hall closet at entry door;by front door is shoe/boot tray, hooks for coats, jackets, etc. Living area was very comfortable; lots of couch pillows for TV viewing; with open floor plan very easy to sit at island & visit with others and/or watch TV. A big plus was washer & dryer! Nice neighborhood. Owners have thought of everything."
