"Everything was perfect. WILL be back!"

Courtyard Marriott Ankeny

8/10 Good

"Property was very clean, room and beds were comfortable. Cold water in the lobby was nice. Coffee in the room wasn’t worth making, so I didn’t. No free coffee in the lobby, but a “bistro” where you could buy coffee and breakfast but neither were open when we left. Parking was free and plenty of it. Over-all I recommend the property."

Econo Lodge Ankeny - Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Room was roomy. We had a king sized bed. The tub was roomy too. The side entry door to the hotel did not lock. The front desk clerk was not inviting at all. We would stay again."

Hampton Inn & Suites Ankeny

8/10 Good

"Would not recommend room 221 to anyone. The air conditioning in the room was iffy at best. We would turn it to cooler and we would freeze and if we turned it up we would croak from the heat. Also, the room is right next to the air conditioners outside. There is a piece of machinery out there that runs for about 15 seconds, goes off for about 45 seconds and repeats the cycle….all night long. Breakfast was good."
