Top Water Works Park Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. I got in later so I could catch an early flight."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"One of the most elegant hotels on the planet. Likely the best all around in Iowa. Amazing in every way."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Clean place"

Hilton Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great location within walking distance of the DART bus station (we went to the State Fair so it was nice to be able to just walk to the shuttle and not worry about driving and parking anywhere), convenient underground parking. This is a beautiful hotel, room was the best I’ve stayed in for a while. Hotel staff were helpful and we had a delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Definitely would stay here again."

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are nice and clean. The staff is very friendly. The treadmills were out if order."

SO MUCH FUN! ARCADE, PL TBL, PNG PNG, YARD GAMES, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR POOLS!!

8/10 Good

"Such a wonderful experience with all of the extras included. We had kitchenware for cooking, extra linens and toiletries. the beds were very comfortable and a lot of space. Great stay!"

The Palms Mirage House 3 Bedroom Home

8/10 Good

"The house is lovely for a weekend of meditation or connecting with nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for very outgoing families, as the local community is very sensitive about music. I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."

Charming house - minutes from downtown, walking distance to Ingersoll!
