Sleep Inn & Suites Ankeny - Des Moines

8/10 Good

"The towels were clean but VERY thin"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay! This was my first time in Ankeny, IA. My room was very clean and smelled so nice! I looked forward to walking into the room every time I went out. Breakfast was fine for me and had adequate options. The breakfast room was clean and well organized. There was a football game on the TV in the lobby and I had fun watching with the friendly female receptionist who was a fan of one of the teams. I will definitely plan to stay here on future trips if the price remains competitive."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites
