Des Moines IA

Hello. My wife and I are coming to Des Moines for the Mecum Auto Auction July 18, 19, 20. We are looking for a good safe place to stay. We have a car we will be selling (hopefully). Any suggestions?

Any of the hotels near the Des Moines airport are reasonably priced and it's a safe neighborhood. That's my part of town and I'd walk around by myself after dark with no worries.

You know, after I posted that, I got to thinking about the "safe" comment. I really didn't mean to imply that Des Moines wasn't safe. I know that here in Albuquerque, the area around the state fair grounds isn't the best part of town and I wouldn't recommend any motels/hotels in that area. But thank you for the information. We'll be in a pickup with a 20ft enclosed trailer with the car in it. Right now, the have us scheduled for Saturday afternoon/evening. Again, thank you for the information.

No offense taken, and I'm happy to help.

Ankeny is closer to the fair grounds. Its just north of des Moines. Motels on 1st St.
