Flight
DSM is the airport to fly into! Most downtown hotels have free shuttles to and from the airport.
Hotel
We recommend the Des Moines Marriott Downtown (excellent pool and HOT TUB!!) and the Hyatt Place Des Moines Downtown (real nice joint). They are both located in downtown Des Moines, two blocks from the venue, and have airport shuttles.
House Or Rental
There are several AirBnB apartments located downtown and the East Village (which is basically downtown) and several homes located near downtown. We do have Uber/Lyft if you stay outside of Downtown.
