Holiday Inn Express Des Moines Ankeny by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"New hotel and everything worked great!"

Wyndham Garden Ankeny/Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................."

Staybridge Suites Des Moines North Ankeny by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff and front desk were amazing. We had a slight issue with our toilet in the room let the front desk know and it was fixed by the time we got back. The full kitchen came in handy since many nights we were gone late and we left early mornings before breakfast was served. I called the front desk the day we left after we got home and they were willing to go above and beyond to help find something that we thought we had left behind but we ended up finding it, but service was second to none. If we were to return next year this hotel will be at the top of our list."
