Unexpected Delight

  • Island Traveler
  • 17 Oct 2010
Driving up to the hotel, I thought, "I am in the right place?" But once inside, the staff was warm and welcoming, the room was HUGE and clean, and the complimentary breakfast was well beyond the coffee and donuts I've experiences at other places.

Good value in Des Moines

  • First Time in Iowa
  • 7 Nov 2010
Hotel staff were nice; especially the hotel shuttle driver who picked me up from the airport. Very accomodating and helpful to a first timer to Iowa. Very helpful information guides, and guest services directory. Business center was nothing to brag about but functionally it was just fine. Hotel isn't too far a walk or drive from the 'main' downtown area but be warned that there isn't much commerce around the hotel itself. Hotel room itself was nice but bed wasn't too comfortable; but if you prefer a harder bed then it might be your thing. Could have just been my room but what I know is that my back wasn't feeling too good in the morning. (I traveled to another city in Iowa the next day and I didnt have this problem with the hotel I stayed in...there IS a difference!) Overall, depending on what you are coming to Des Moines for, its not exactly the Shangri La but this is a great value for/ near the downtown area.

Nice pool space

  • Travelin with kids
  • 14 May 2012
Comfortable beds. Lovely pool with towels available. Wish there had been at least enough coffee for two cups. Room was clean. Bathroom is small but has a nice shower head. Missed having a mini fridge. Comfy reading chair and little table. Only complaint is that doors in the hall latch so loudly that they kept waking me p because I thought someone was opening and closing our door.

Excellent place to stay in Des Moines

  • Onix Dave
  • 17 Sep 2011
Only one problem here: the telephone didn't work in the bedroom, making wakeup calls less than ideal. Also, I don't like having to pay extra for internet acces--it should be built into the price and available for all. However, everything else was just as it should be: good breakfast, drinks & snacks in the evening, and a comfortable room & shower with all the necessary hotel amenities. I will be back.

Good Downtown Hotel

  • Stephanie
  • 1 Aug 2011
I stayed there with some girlfriends for my bachelorette party and it was fantastic. The rooms were big and we loved the free happy hour. We also used the hotel's shuttle to be dropped off at the bars in downtown Des Moines and only had to wait 10 minutes. We also took part in the complimentary breakfast in the morning that really hit the spot.

Second stay at this hotel, close walk to good restaurants in the Court district always felt safe even with very few people walking in the area. The staff are great, friendly and attentive. We did not use the spa but the breakfast was great, the chef used vegetables from his own garden for the omelets, nice touch. Don't miss the Farmers market Saturday morning better than most we have been to.

Downtown Des Moines

  • Kansas frequent traveler
  • 20 May 2012
The Hyatt Place in downtown Des Moines has a great location, within walking distance to all downtown activities. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The only issue I had was that access to the sky walk was limited from the hotel, and you couldn't access it after 6 PM.

Decent Inn

  • nikonichi
  • 28 Jun 2010
The only negative was the hotel's location combined with Des Moines marginal public transportation system. A six-block street closure shortened one bus route by over 70%. In other cities the bus would have been rerouted around the closed streets.

Decent room, tough location

  • Anthony
  • 19 Sep 2007
Quality Inn was a good value for the money; the rooms were a nice size, friendly staff, smooth check in. I know it's a little thing, but they had decent vending options for a late-night check in like me. It wasn't spotless, but not overly dirty. The hardest part was getting to the entrance with all the one-ways in the area, but all of Des Moines downtown is like that and I've spent ten minutes getting to other places there, too. Still, a larger, clearer entrance sign, and maybe some signage on the surrounding streets, might help.

My review of Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds

  • Debra
  • 13 Sep 2007
This is a brand new hotel, very clean as it should be. The vanity is small but seperate from the bathroom. You will have to go through the T.V. chanels and write them down as there is not a station list in the room. They were short on staff but even after long hours the staff was still very friendly and helpful. The only thing I can complain about is I was there on business and they gave me a handicap room which I did not ask for. Handicap rooms do not have a desk or table therefore I had to try to do work on the bed which was very uncomfortable. In the future I will be sure to request not to have this type of room. There are fast food near by on University Ave,nice restraunts a couple of miles from the hotel, convience store down the street for your gas and snacks,and a Cigarette Outlet around the corner for all of your adult drinking supplies. The fair grounds are right across the street, the Casino, race track and Adventure Land amusement are just a few miles away. I will be staying in this hotel again for business but would also stay for pleasure.
