Frequently asked questions

How do I book a room block for conference attendees in West Des Moines?
If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can search, compare, and book self-serve on Engine. Both options give you access to pre-negotiated rates and consolidated invoicing.
How does billing work when I book a large event with multiple rooms?
Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you can manage all your bookings in one place. You also have multiple payment options to fit your company's workflow, and there's no membership fee to use the platform.
How far in advance should I reserve rooms for a corporate event?
For a large meeting or conference, it's smart to book as early as possible, ideally several months out, to secure availability and the best rates. The hotels on this list have varying capacities, so early planning helps ensure you get the number of rooms and meeting space you need.
Can Engine help me find both the guest rooms and the meeting space for my conference?
Yes. For the guest-room block, Engine Groups handles bookings of nine or more rooms, and you can book eight or fewer self-serve. To find and request meeting or event space, you can use Engine Spaces, which connects you to venues across the country. That way, you can manage both sides of your event through Engine.
What should I compare when choosing conference hotels in West Des Moines?
Look at each hotel's largest event space, total number of meeting rooms, and guest-room count. For example, the Hilton Garden Inn Des Moines West offers a largest event space of about 5,600 square feet that can host up to 500 people, while the West Des Moines Marriott has 219 guest rooms and a largest space of about 4,600 square feet. Comparing capacity, layout options, and proximity to the airport or downtown will help you find the right fit.
