Besides the great breakfast (consistent with two other HI Express I stayed at earlier in the week), these rooms have a special style. Très chic and retro. Wish I could have stayed longer. Brand new and clean. Great value

Easy access to downtown Des Moines (Can walk or a 2 minute car ride)

This Holiday Inn is their new model look, very modern feel.

Nice free hot breakfast, indoor pool and hot tub.

Will stay here again when I am in Des Moines

Good price for Saturday night senior rate. Comfortable bed. Very clean and well appointed. Has the new, modern decor and eco friendly. In town for a wedding and the shuttle service from this side of downtown to the East Village was ideal. We didn't have to worry about limited parking at the venue. We only waited about 10 minutes for the shuttle to take us back to the hotel at the end of the evening. We didn't stay for the breakfast included in the reservation.

Room tip: I would check in at 3pm to get a well-situated room away from elevators.

One of the best HIE we've stayed at. We were in town to see a concert at the Hoyt Sherman theater which about a mile away. We were very happy about the free shuttle that took us to and from the theater.
The property had all the amenities needed for our stay. The room was very nice, well lit, comfortable bed. Very nice front desk staff. Would have liked to stay another night. Close to the downtown area.

My wife & I stayed two nights at HI Express Downtown to attend an NHL preseason hockey game @ Wells Fargo Arena. The hotel facility inside and out are attractive & clean, every staff member we encountered was very friendly, the complementary breakfast items were fresh and varied, and the hotel shuttle was a much appreciated option to downtown parking on game night. Our guest room was spacious & well appointed, and Housekeeping did a very good job of cleaning.

We were able to walk easily from the hotel north to the Pappajohn Sculpture Park & nearby dining options during the day; just a short stretch from the hotel to MLK Jr. Parkway did not have sidewalks, which will hopefully be included in the continuing development of the south end of Downtown DSM. The Court Avenue dining & entertainment district is just a short drive away, and the Iowa Events Center complex not much further. For comfort & convenient access to Downtown Des Moines businesses/attractions, Holiday Inn Express Downtown would be a good lodging option for Des Mojnes business or leisure visitors.

Room tip: Rooms facing east separate guests from nearby construction
