Des Moines - First Time

I’m planning a trip to Des Moines.. I’ve never been there! Which is crazy considering I’m in Omaha lol. But looking for info on good areas to stay? All insight is appreciated! Thank you!

Holiday Inn Mercy Campus is near Wells Fargo arena with plenty of parking

You should consider spending a night or two in Cedar Rapids. Most providers make a stop in CR and the Quad Cities depending on which they are traveling.

West Desmoines is a nice city with lots of hotels to stay and nice restaurants.

Wondering how tall you are Jada? Last review said 5'8" & the prior one said 5'4".
Somebody hasn't got a clue apparently
