Top Sky Glider East Hotel Reviews

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

8/10 Good

"It was decent"

Hilton Des Moines Downtown

8/10 Good

"We came for an event at the Caseys center. You cant beat the location and parking and the ease of walking to the event. With all that said there were a few minor charges that should be included instead of being added. You're already paying over 300 a night so it seems they are just piling on. I guess convenience costs"

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

8/10 Good

"Air conditioning wouldn’t keep up"

Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Des Moines Fairgrounds Area

8/10 Good

"It was a ok place to stay. Safe enough. Food nearby. Breakfast was waffles, biscuits and gravy plus snack stuff."
