Holiday Inn Des Moines-Airport/Conf Center by IHG

My only issue was that the coffee maker in the room did not work. I tried many times.

very good

The shuttle was very helpful, all staff were very nice. Hot tub jets were not working everything else was great!

Hotel is very dated and dark. Rooms are inconvenient to get to. Very disappointing.

That you spend 245 dollars and don’t get a ground floor or free breakfast

Staff were friendly

airport shuttle was fast and very convenient.

We checked in late after attending traveling down for a wedding. But we had some neighbors who were playing music very loud and shouting. So after a couple hours of being there we decided to just make the trip back at 1:30 that morning so we could get some much needed sleep. So our experience wasn’t as great as we anticipated. It was our first night out without the kiddos in a few years so we’re pretty bummed about it. The room was very nice and I wish we could’ve enjoyed it.

Room was in excellent condition, check in was very quick

The rooms were neat and clean and the pool and hot tub area was clean and fully stacked with towels even with so many people there.

Great location. Very close to the airport. Room was dated but water pressure in the shower was great! Little restaurant had pretty good food.

The staff was always very friendly and helpful. The room was quiet, clean and comfy. The kids & I really enjoyed the pool and hot tub. We took toys to play with in the pool and had fun sharing them with other guests. The parking lot is large. We easily found good places to park. A 10+ rating.

This hotel is outdated. The balconies are very outdated. It seems fun to have a holidome but there were guests with kids dancing and being incredibly loud until after midnight. We called to ask for help and get the staff to enforce quiet hours, which they posted as after 10pm and it wasn’t dealt with. No breakfast was included either.

Ok

The facility seemed very nice and kept up. The room was very nice with a very comfortable bed.

Disappointed that the bar and restaurant was closed

Somewhat of a unicorn...the internet says there are only a handful of Holidomes left that are still in operation and this one checks all the boxes on the nostalgia factor. Large central dome, with a large pool and hot tub and several levels or areas for large groups, family reunions, etc. There is a restaurant inside the holidome that is surprisingly good and also serves as mini-convenience store (pop, candy, chips, etc). As for rooms, there are options facing into the Holidome as well as on the outer ring of the hotel, if you want something quieter. The rooms are spacious, with a smaller bathroom, but everything was clean and well maintained. Large mini-fridge and microwave in the room. TV had a good variety of channels, including HBO. Room HVAC was built into the wall, instead of the noisier version mounted below the window that you usually see. Lots of hot water in the shower. Lots of parking in the attached lot and there are doors to access the building close to your room. Checkin was smooth. No free breakfast that I could see, but you can eat at the restaurant in the Holidome. If I was in the area and could get a room here, this would be the first place I'd look. It's unique in a way that most hotels now are not and that makes it kinda fun.

Loved the pool and hot tub being the center of the hotel! Very neat set up with the ceiling being a view of the outside! I liked everything.

Easy parking-inexpensive

The staff was helpful and it was great that airport shuttle was available for early morning.
