#1 of 2 hotels in East Village by Axel's take. East Village is #2 of 5 places to stay in Des Moines. The best hotels in East Village, ranked · Where to stay in Des Moines

Axel's take: 8.7/10

A strong East Village base with useful kitchens and a few service trade-offs. a practical 3-star all-suite hotel in the East Village, scored for what it is.

This 3-star all-suite hotel is a strong pick for families and longer stays, especially if you want to explore downtown on foot. Suites with kitchens offer more flexibility than a standard hotel room, while included breakfast, an indoor pool and a hot tub add practical value. Recent Expedia guests repeatedly praise cleanliness and friendly staff; Tripadvisor feedback also supports the convenient East Village location.

The main compromises are paid parking and limited housekeeping: IHG specifies light-touch weekday service and a full clean every seven nights. Breakfast earns plenty of praise, but some recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests describe disappointing variety or service lapses. We'd choose it for space and convenience rather than full-service pampering; skip it if daily thorough cleaning or an on-site restaurant matters.

  • Best for: families needing suite space; longer stays with self-catering; walkable downtown weekends

  • Watch out for: daily parking charge; limited housekeeping schedule; breakfast consistency varies

  • Location: Walkable East Village setting near restaurants, shops, the river and downtown attractions.

  • Rooms: Kitchen-equipped studios and larger suites; recent guests generally praise comfort and family-friendly layouts.

  • Cleanliness: Strong overall feedback, including repeated praise in 2026 Expedia reviews.

  • Service: Friendly staff are a recurring strength, with occasional breakfast and housekeeping follow-through complaints.

  • Amenities: Included breakfast, indoor pool, hot tub, gym and Monday–Wednesday social receptions; no restaurant.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking costs extra; full housekeeping is weekly. Confirm pet arrangements directly, as IHG and Expedia disagree.
