Top Drake University Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient location and nice amenities"

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This property was the calm in the midst of the storm. The staff was so kind and helpful when it came to assisting us with checking in and finding another night for us in the hotel. All of the staff took their time in answering all of our questions and treated us with so much respect. We are grateful."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay here despite having some plumping issues in the first room we were given. Upon notifying staff of the issues we were having, we got upgraded to a larger room at no cost. The staff were incredibly helpful and understanding. Both rooms were nice and clean. The free breakfast was also fantastic. I would definitely stay here again!"

Beautiful remodeled historic Drake Univ home minutes from downtown and all metro

10/10 Excellent

"Great for a big family get together. Tons of rooms. Game room was a lot of fun. Beds were comfortable. Great location next to Drake. Plenty of parking. Upper level is zoned independently, which was awesome for a summer stay. Some places you need to freeze out the main floor or basement to keep the second floor tolerable and this was NOT the case here. Host was very receptive and great communication. Would recommend and plan to stay here again!"

"The Hay Loft" - Hot Tub - Game Room - Fire Pit - Office - Family FUN

10/10 Excellent

"This house was ideal for our group of 12. There were plenty of bedrooms with comfortable beds and soft sheets. The kitchen was well-stocked. Important information was clearly posted throughout the house. Checking in and out was among the easiest experiences we've ever had It's very clean and well maintained. If we need to stay in Des Moines again, we will definitely try to stay here or at one of their other properties."
