Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines - Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Room was clean, hotel was quiet."

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

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 4 nights, it was a quiet, clean dark room. The AC unit worked well and kept the room very cool and comfortable. Breakfast was ok, a lot of options, but I'm not much of a breaksfast person. Needed new towels and housekeeping gladly left us a bag of new towels. Front desk staff was kind and helpful. The only minus is there was no place to hang your towels in the bathroom so the towels didn't dry out well. Also, the beds were shockingly comfortable, probably the best hotel bed I've slept on."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"We really have been enjoying our stay at this hotel. The room was very clean and spacious, the pillows and bed were great, the bathroom had a full length countertop that was very wide which is very nice. We would definitely recommend this hotel and would definitely stay there again if ever in Des Moines again"

Best Western Premier Des Moines-Ankeny Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice rooms, comfy beds, clean, friendly staff.. however, I found not one but two little roaches in the bathroom. Also the TV didn’t work well-it had just a few channels that continuously lost connection. Netflix didn’t work either, and when trying to cast my phone to the TV, I found every room but the one I needed to cast to. Front desk wasn’t sure how to fix the TV issues and staying there for five days with children, this was an big inconvenience."
