Where to stay in Iowa: Best areas for travelers

• Des Moines: Nothing beats staying right in the middle of the action, especially when you've got terrific attractions such as Adventureland within easy reach. After a long day of marveling at the sights, hop into a comfortable bed at the Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown, the Staybridge Suites Des Moines Downtown or the AC Hotel Des Moines East Village.
• Quad Cities: This part of Iowa attracts history buffs from all over the world. It's not hard to see why, with historical attractions like B.J. and Mabel Palmer Mansion, Government Bridge and Rock Island Centennial Bridge. There are lots of comfy hotels where you can put your feet up after a big day of seeing the sights. The Best Western Plus Steeplegate Inn, the Super 8 by Wyndham Davenport and the Baymont by Wyndham Davenport are a few highly recommended options.
• Waterloo: This destination is beloved by travelers for many things, but Lost Island Waterpark, UNI-Dome and Isle Casino Waterloo are standouts. Add in College Square Mall, Waterloo Center for the Arts and Big Woods Lake Recreation Area and you've got yourself an incredible itinerary. The Econo Lodge Inn & Suites, the Courtyard by Marriott Waterloo Cedar Falls and the 3 Bedroom Renovated Retreat! have everything you need for a great night's rest.
• Council Bluffs: With so many exciting things to do and see here, you'll have earned a solid night's sleep by the time the sunlight has faded away. The Travelodge Garden Inn, the Western Inn or the AmericInn by Wyndham Council Bluffs are some of the best places to kick back and unwind after a long day of exploring Horseshoe Council Bluffs and Harrah's Council Bluffs Casino. Don't forget to make tracks to Ameristar Casino Hotel at Council Bluffs, Stir Cove, Union Pacific Railroad Museum and Bayliss Park too.
• Sioux City: A roam around Orpheum Theatre and WinnaVegas Casino is a wonderful way to start your vacation in Sioux City. But that's just the tip of the sightseeing iceberg in this place. Sioux City Art Center, Sergeant Floyd River Museum and Welcome Center and Sergeant Floyd Monument are also worth putting on your checklist. Try not to forget about Blue Bunny Ice Cream Parlor either. After a big day out, you'll be in the mood to relax at a comfortable hotel like the Ramada by Wyndham Sioux City, the Sioux City Hotel and Conference Center or the Stoney Creek Hotel & Conference Center Sioux City.
