Clean room, great atmosphere and excellent staff. Room was clean and no gross “hotel” smell. The only thing negative is we had a jet tub room and we had no hot water to enjoy it. The shower had no hot water either, along with no water pressure.

Hotels in Drake

Des Moines is a city that has a lot going on, but you have your sights set on Drake. This part of town is perfect for what you want to be doing, and that is everything that is not on everyone’s radar. For all that Drake has going on, you’ll still need a place to crash, eventually. But you don’t want any old shack, you need something that fits the trip. We have a slew of Drake hotels that will do the trick.

A beautiful day in the neighborhood

As much as you like getting out there, it’s also good to know a part of Des Moines so well you’ll be telling the tourists where to go. Make friends with the concierge or be bold and chat up a local. It’s your trip, so choose your own adventure. And when you get in at night, you’ll have a comfy room and plenty of amenities to help you settle in. Call a friend and spin tales from the Drake underground. What’s a journey without a good story to go with it?

Beyond the block

We’re not talking about the Drake city block. We’re talking about looking beyond that block of hotels you always focus on. We give you tons of ways to sort our stash of Drake cheap hotels.
