Top Iowa State Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews
Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown
8/10 Good
"Hotel is outdated but seemed to be fairly clean and well cared for. Most of the staff was nice and helpful."
Des Lux Hotel
10/10 Excellent
"Rooms are very clean and comfortable."

10/10 Excellent
"Perfect location for any state fair goer. We will definitely book here again!"
Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG
8/10 Good
"The Staybridge Suites was easy to find and conveniently located between downtown Des Moines and the Iowa State Capitol. Check-in was friendly and efficient. Parking was available in the multi-storey car park next door for $20 per night. My room was a good size, with modern décor and a useful kitchenette area. The reception staff were also very helpful in directing me to the nearby pickup point for the shuttle bus to the Iowa State Fair. The impressive State Capitol is well worth visiting and only a 10–15-minute walk from the hotel. The surrounding area was very quiet during my stay, although this was on a Sunday evening. There were plenty of bars and restaurants nearby, but most were largely deserted that evening. Breakfast was served downstairs and offered a good selection of both hot and cold items. Overall, this was a peaceful and convenient place for an overnight stay in Des Moines. I am not sure there would be enough in the immediate area to occupy me for more than a couple of nights, but it suited my visit very well."

"Great trip and nice house in great location. Would recommend!"
Charming 2-bedroom house on a quiet secluded street . With Wi-Fi
10/10 Excellent
"This is an immaculately clean, beautifully renovated property with new appliances in a very quiet part of Des Moines, stayed 3 nights on our trip to the Iowa State Fair, very walkable to the Fairgrounds, perfect to avoid the traffic and parking. We enjoyed the quiet space on the deck off the master bedroom in the morning and evening. In the event that we’re ever back in Des Moines again, I would absolutely book again. I had originally booked 2 nights, and when plans changed, the host was able to accommodate an extra day, had great, prompt communication and check in was a breeze."
Fun, group friendly house close to fair! Sleeps 8
10/10 Excellent
"Good stay."
The Iowa Fair House - Games + Walk to Main Gate
8/10 Good
"Overall we had no major complaints. There was laundry in the washer and dryer when we arrived and we didn’t use the master bedroom shower due to water under the tile floor of it. Everything else was okay."
