Top Central Iowa Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Everything was good. We just happened to pick a busy weekend for them. Took our food to our room to eat since there was no room in the dining area for dinner or breakfast. Desk staff was very nice."

Wildwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, nice rooms and amenities"

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Such a unique hotel with a speakeasy-like vibe. We enjoyed use of the amenities, the easy parking across the street, and that it was walking distance to many restaurants/bars/coffee shops. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Would love to stay again!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA

8/10 Good

"Overall it was a good stay. Nice hotel, clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly. Only two small complaints. Day I got there a got a text message saying if I needed anything to text. I sent a message the next morning asking for more towels and got a response. That evening we still hadn’t received towels so I went to the front desk. Person there said “Oh I tell guests never to use the text and just come tell us.” Then why have the text system? Other complaint was that the toilet in our room didn’t flush well and almost got clogged several times."

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

8/10 Good

"Staff was nicest the front desk and restaurant"

Hampton Inn Des Moines-Airport

8/10 Good

"Michelle at the front desk was AMAZING. Give that gal a raise! Comfy beds. Nice breakfast. Our room was humid but located across from ice machine and laundry on 3rd floor so perhaps that contributed. Nice stay ceey close to the airport after a long day of flying and appreciated the 1/2 mile proximity!"
