"N/p"

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Love that it has an inside pool, hot tub, and laundry!!! The workout room has a good set of weights but needs an elliptical machine and recumbent bike. Hated to hear the hotel sold to lashings and couldn't compete with well known brands. Will stay again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines/Urbandale

"It’s my preferred hotel Anytime I visit"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Urbandale/Des Moines

8/10 Good

"It's a nice place to stay."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Ice machine not working. The door frame to my room showed light from the hallway. In some respects, I would call that a fire hazard as smoke would fill the room quickly"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Need more waste baskets in room & hooks in bathroom (no way to hang towels). Also, mattress was very soft & AC nest to bed was uncomfortable."
