Please support MSS by staying at the conference hotel, the Marriott Downtown Des Moines!

700 Grand Ave  | Des Moines, IA 50309 | 515.245.5500

 

I can find a room elsewhere a little cheaper. Why should I stay at the conference hotel?

Meeting rooms are provided to us at not cost based on the number of hotel rooms booked for our conference. Please book your room at the conference hotel to help MSS meet room-night commitments and avoid financial penalties. When our room block fills, we will work to have another nearby hotel available for reservations.

Why did you choose this hotel?

Our conference hotels are carefully chosen, years in advance, to provide the necessary number of meeting rooms, the best possible guest-room price, and a location for you that is safe, comfortable, and convenient.

Check out the Marriott Downtown Des Moines website for more information on the hotel. The room block will close Monday, March 11.
