Great Western Trail. Lovely and mostly flat. Connects to other trails in the greater DSM area. Ride it to work when the weather's good.

Top Southwestern Hills Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"This is an older, but well maintained option and it was convenient. Our room was clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. "

Baymont by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I had another great stay at this hotel. It has so many nice amenities. We didn’t have time to use the pool area this time but have enjoyed it in the past. The staff is very friendly and always asking if you need anything. The rooms are comfy and quiet. Great light blocking shades when you want to sleep in. Everything is very clean and maintained well. And the daily breakfast included has lots of options, and the food is aways fresh. I definitely recommend staying here. "

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"This is our second time staying here. It feels like a 5 star hotel. The details in the decor are unique and well designed. The bed and bedding is comfortable. I love the lobby, large and spacious with lots of seating options for gatherings small or large. Great restaurant, Proudfoot and Bird with a bar that has great happy hour from 2-6 daily. The happy hour has great food options, not so much for drinks on special. The HOBNob restaurant for breakfast is ok, but service there is slow. Will definitely stay there again. Great price for the quality of the hotel. "

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean but smoke alarm was hanging from the ceiling so check your rooms for maintenance. Staff was very friendly and helpful at desk. Housekeeping did knock and try to enter our room before I could answer the door at 10am, an hour before checkout, so educate them to let us answer. It takes 15 seconds, not 3. A do not disturb sign would have helped. Otherwise it's a nice place."
