Iowa State Fairgrounds Hotel & Travel Guide
If it's your first time at Iowa State Fairgrounds, you'll be sure to remember it for years to come.
It's one of the many attractions that makes Des Moines, the capital of the state, such a rewarding travel destination.
If your time is in short supply, reserve a room at the Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Fairgrounds. It's located just 0.4 miles (0.6 kilometers) from Iowa State Fairgrounds.
If you're sick of choosing between going out for dinner or buying plenty of souvenirs, free up some of your daily allowance by staying at one of the area's lower-priced hotels. Two popular ones are the Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center and the Sleep Inn & Suites Pleasant Hill - Des Moines.
Traveling can be an exhausting business, and it would be almost impossible without a daily coffee. When you start to crave a caffeine kick, head to Cinnie Smiths (3000 3000 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines.) A brief walk of 0.1 miles (0.2 kilometers) will bring you to Bud Tent (3000 East Grand Avenue, Des Moines), which offers customers more substantial meals.
