Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University
The room had plenty of space for our family of 5. Really enjoyed the full size fridge. The breakfast was good. Our room and the hotel were clean and safe. We were attending an event at the Casey’s center and it was an easy and quick drive. Would stay here again when we come back to town.

Some of the staff were rude and unhelpful. Room service did not come change bedding g on request. But otherwise nice room. Private. But you can hear everyone else around you.

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston
Water poured from the light fixture in the bathroom. Room above us was having bath tub draining issues. The rest of the hotel is outdated and falling apart. The pictures on line are 20+ years old. I don’t recommend but our room was clean for the most part.
