Top Central Iowa Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines West Clive

10/10 Excellent

"It is a cozy hotel with very friendly staff, especially the person at the front desk. I really enjoyed the king-size bed; it had been a long time since I slept on such a comfortable mattress. The breakfast was excellent and offered a variety of options: waffles, bagels, oatmeal, omelets or boiled eggs, toast, coffee, juice... what more could you ask for?"

Wildwood Lodge
