Hotels With Bar in Iowa, United States

This is the best extended stay I have used. It is not new but it has several bebefits. First, it has real he tv. The tv is large and the picture is real hd, not the usual he tv but not an he signal. The internet speed is adequate, I could stream on my computer. Restaurants are within walking distance, including Mcdonalds, taco bell, Bennagins, and Perkins (which has an excellent Senior menu). The staff is friendly. Much better than the AirBB I used. Excellent stay.

Overall, this would be a good hotel property - not amazing - but good. However, the insanely bright flashing light of the smoke detector (compared to smoke detectors in dozens of other hotels rooms I've stayed in through years of work-related and recreational travel) requires a WARNING: Bring a sleep mask. Or you may want to pack some masking tape or duct tape to temporarily cover the bulb of the smoke detector (of course, without doing anything that would interfere with its operation). This may not be an issue if you are not a heavy sleeper or if you find flashing lights restful. Even sleeping in a position that faced away from the detector, the intense, flashing, green light (about every 10 seconds) lit up the ceiling, walls, and sides of the pillow. I've experienced issues with flashing smoke detector lights before - but none like this one. Who was the unqualified buffoon at Marriott who selected this model for a room intended for sleep?! Apart from this [significant, for me] flashing-light-in-room issue, the hotel was decent. It seemed safe and reasonably clean. The rate was reasonable. The front desk staff were professional and competent. Bedding was comfortable. The location is convenient for accessing nearby downtown Omaha. The setting is a little bland - in the middle of an area of parking lots and sports venues. You'll need a car to get to more interesting areas of Council Bluffs & Omaha for meals, etc. The soundproofing is not great. We could hear our neighbors TV clearly most evenings as well as noise in the hallways. The hotel provides coffee but does not offer tea - in the rooms or in the front lobby. I guess the same genius who saved money by buying a combo smoke detector/lighthouse decided that lowering service another notch in order to save $0.50 per guest (on tea) was a smart idea for a business in the hospitality industry. A final note on the smoke detector. The light bulb on this model illuminates both on the outside (like most models) but also (deviously!) within the inside of the plastic frame - and the frame has a big grating. So even if you put a small piece of tape or a band-aid on the exposed, outside part of the bulb, you will still get to see some flash from within the grating. With apologize to the reader if this review seems a bit obsessed with the smoke detector, but I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotel rooms and not experienced a flashing smoke detector light THIS intense before. My primary goal for my hotel room is sleep, and it boggles my mind that someone chose a model with a very bright flashing light for a hotel room. Come prepared.

The room was clean and the service was excellent.

We had made arrangements with a nearby hotel to check in at 1:00 the day of our arrival because we had an afternoon wedding in Omaha and needed to get ready. However, the receptionist there wasn’t very cooperative. So we showed up at holiday Inn and asked if they could accommodate us. The receptionist was very accommodating and did everything she could to help. We got into a room quickly, and made it to the church on time. We paid about $50 more for the night than we would have, but it was worth it. The only thing I didn’t care for was the smell of chlorine when we walked in. They do have a pool but an overwhelming smell like that usually means it’s not cool enough in the room or very well ventilated. But that was the only thing I noticed. Everything else was very nice.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. When we asked for an extra pillow, they brought it up to our room in just a few minutes! The room was clean and well appointed. The A/C was nice and cool (which we really appreciated, as the place we stayed at the previous couple nights did not have working A/C). The breakfast in the restaurant upstairs restaurant was delicious and very filling.

The staff was so friendly! We had a bit of miscommunication between the hotel and trip.com regarding payment, but they got it worked out quickly and the staff were quick to make things right for us! We enjoyed both the hot tub & pool and both were exactly what we needed!! The hotel was far enough from downtown to be peaceful but close enough that everything was accessible. The biggest thing that stood out was how accommodating the staff were. Absolutely recommend.

I had a perfect two-day stay at the Hilton Des Moines Downtown. Everything was terrific. The location is convenient to a variety of business and tourist sites. The staff was friendly, helpful, and professional. The room was modern and well-appointed with plenty of outlets and charging ports. The amenities are excellent, with a well-equipped fitness center and fast Wi-Fi. I did not use the pool nor the conference facilities. Dinner at the restaurant was quite good and there are also many restaurants a short walk from the hotel. Since the weather was nice, I didn't use the skywalks, but I am sure they are quite useful in winter. it was my first time in Des Moines, and I am glad that I stayed at the Hilton Des Moines Downtown. If I return to this area, I will definitely stay at this hotel again. Highly recommended.

We had a very nice stay in this hotel, from the moment that we entered the door until after we had left. The staff in front was informative and friendly and our check-in was quick. (We particularly liked the availability of a hotel cart at the door that we used to transport our many suitcases to our rooms.) Our room was clean and the beds were comfortable, with a variety of pillows to choose from. I was disappointed that our accessible room had only one grab bar by the tub/shower, but at least it had one. The air conditioner in our room was also very loud, potentially making sleep difficult for one member of our party. Breakfast was better than most that I have had. I was almost as delighted by the tasty Denver omelets and cinnamon rolls as I was by the cleanliness of the entire breakfast area. It really was very clean; I commend the staff that made it so inviting. The helpfulness of the staff continued after our stay. When one of our party left something in our room, the hotel manager attempted to contact me multiple times, and we were able to arrange to have the item sent along to our destination so that it wasn't necessary to drive two hours back to pick it up. Bravo! If we pass near Marshalltown again, I would be happy to make another stay at this hotel!

The whole facility and the rooms smelled like a dirty diaper covered in baby powder. My room had old decorations from a previous party even in the coffee cups like they don’t even change out those. So much garbage u see the bed even instructions on how to put a bed frame together. The bathroom door wouldn’t shut it was like 1 inch gap that was still open. The shower had no water pressure and the tub was clogged, probably that diaper. My room had lightbulbs that were out and just a below standard of a room. The arcade had part carpet and part cement floor and just horrible lighting throughout. Not one of the workout machines worked in the fitness room, and that smell just lingered in there as well. But the worst part is the advertising on the website, those pictures are nothing at all compared to what the place looks like. They should a great place for a very crappy pool party and if you want to have 20 toddlers running up and down the hall while you’re trying to rest this is your place. Honestly just a joke!!!

The breakfast lady was ride the charger did t work and couldn’t watch tv without static and no one was at the desk to check us in

This hotel has pros and cons. Pros: good neighborhood, convenient to restaurants, shopping, and interstate. Free parking. Bed was comfortable with a nice variety of pillows. Appreciate app check in which allows bypass of front desk. Cons: ran shower for 20 minutes, never got hot water (top floor, toward end of hall). Mold in shower caulking. Sink did not drain well. Walls very thin, could hear neighboring room conversations without difficulty. Was also at hotel during a weather event. Local channels unavailable. I do not like breakfast at Hampton, so did not check out options/quality of breakfast at this hotel. Overall, very average in the area, will look for other options for next stay in the area.

My family (including a baby) were traveling west and stopped at the Holiday Inn in Des Moines along the way. The staff was friendly, and the room was comfortable and quiet. You could tell it was a bit older, but still very nice. We ordered from the restaurant, which was decent. I would not recommend it unless you wanted to stay close to the property for the evening. There are better options if you venture out a bit. I did experience an issue during my stay. Around 4 AM, while I was caring for my infant daughter I saw a mouse in our room. I went down to the front desk and alerted staff of the issue, and they informed me they encountered the issue on two other occasions primarily on the second and third floors. They offered to move us to another room, which we did. We were also offered free breakfast coupon, money off our bill, and additional rewards points. We did not receive the additional money off the bill or rewards points. After contacting the hotel about it, I did not receive a response. Overall, the hotel was quiet, comfortable and staff was friendly. However, I cannot recommend staying here until the rodent issue is handled.

Booked an early flight and stayed at the hotel the first day. The freshman went home during the winter vacation and just turned 18. The other hotel did not allow check-in. I temporarily changed to this hotel. I called the front desk in advance and confirmed that I could stay at the age of 18. The hotel's pick-up and drop-off service is great, there are a lot of delicious food around the hotel, and you can also order takeaway to the room. The free breakfast was actually served at 3 am, the room was very clean, very close to the airport. This experience was great and will come to live next time.

The hotel in general and room layout in particular screams “old school.” Elevator inconveniently situated at rear of property. Newer slimline furniture shoehorned into a small room. The tiny bathroom accommodates 1 medium sized person. Small flat screen tv with no HD. Oddly shaped chaise lounge is perfect to lay your clothes on (only). Mattress sagged noticeably on any movement. Checkin process went smoothly and the lobby and hotel room were very clean. Well lit parking lot.

We had an amazing experience from the minute we walked in the door. We had been playing since April and traveling most of July with our daughter’s basketball program and this was our last stop. The staff was so accommodating and helpful. They offered us shuttle service, help with our luggage and tips for what to do around town. And that was just within the first few minutes. The hotel is beautifully renovated and in a great location. I highly recommend staying here and can’t wait until we can come back. Thank you for the hospitality!

We stumbled across this motel earlier this year and were pleased with it. When we happened to be going through Cedar Rapids in the evening we decided to stay again. It’s a nice place at a decent price. The room was large, the motel was quiet, clean and comfortable. This will be our “go-to” place whenever we find ourselves in Cedar Rapids in need of a motel.

Very nice staff. And the rooms are huge. Comfy beds too. And the laundry facilities are reasonable.

Hotel location is a bit remote, but there is a bus in front of it, about 40 minutes, there are many places to eat around, it is far from the supermarket, the price is cheap, it feels very good

I have stayed here off and on for about 4 years now and it's a quiet place for the most part. I know the owners and staff pretty good very nice people. Great staff always making you feel at home and at ur service at any given time. But you also have it own privacy as well. Perkins is across the st and if u mention ur staying at motel 6 you get a 10% discount off ur bill. And there's plenty of parking and ur within walking distance of gas stations and restaurants wether it be fast food or a family restaurant to a local bar establishment with food and entertainment. Great place to stay and convenient to the interstate and highway! Thank you to the staff for all their hard work. And thanks to the owners for their hospitality.

We had booked this hotel for our boys team state baseball tournament. Overall good hotel, boys loved the pool. Breakfast was good. Waffles were the best part. Carpet looks newer. Just a couple things in our room 317-there was a sticky spot on carpet in between the 2 double beds that I kept forgetting about until I stepped in it. The room itself was clean and the bedspreads and room itself was updated to look more modern from the not so appeasing hotel pics I saw online. The canvas paintings above the bed were beautiful and modern. The bathroom doesn't have a vent & is smaller. The tub wasn't overly clean. Almost seems like the maintenance rolled a type of white paint over the floor of the tub that is starting to fade. The shower curtain had a few spots on it--but I've never been a fan of hotels with these cloth shower curtains that are used for everyone and probably rarely get removed and washed. The faucet in the bathroom sink had no pressure--just like 4 sprays of water-made it hard to brush your teeth. It's probably something that the maintenance man could fix but I wasn't there long enough to ask about it. The hotel staff came in every day to remove our old towels on the floor and replaced very neatly with new towels. They removed the garbage. It was nice to come back to the hotel to this cleanliness from the hotel staff. Overall it was a good stay. They even had a washer and dryer (bring quarters) to do a load of the teams uniforms for the 3rd day of tournament.

The room is spacious, quiet and clean. Staff is helpful. There are a few restaurants nearby.

Very clean, suitable for staying

The best hotel i have stayed at by far!! front desk staff was very professional and handled all of our needs with no complaint!! Rooms were spotless and even well dusted which is usually an overlooked issue. To say im very impressed is an understatement! thank you holiday inn i will be back!!!!!!
