GrandStay Hotel & Suites

2/10 Terrible

"We had to be moved because of our room hadn't been cleaned properly. Elevator was sketchy. We felt safer going up and down the stairs. The first also had no lock on the bathroom door and smelled like sewage. Second room wasn't much better. My daughter and her friend did not feel safe there either. There was alot of construction workers staying there that seemed to pay way to much attention to them."

Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Road

6/10 Okay

"The breakfast was cold, they did have a microwave to warm it up. The same items though for Saturday and Sunday. But sure if they switch it up during the week. The gym was basically weights. The treadmill did not work and the bike you couldn’t move the seat up. The floor in the gym was wet not sure why. Pool area was very hot just to sit in there, dont know about water temperature though. No elevator, there are only 2 floors but if you bring a lot of stuff that’s a lot of going up and down the stairs. Some staff didn’t speak English like for the breakfast area, had to let her know the milk was empty. Beds were comfortable."

Ramada Tropics Resort & Conf Center by Wyndham Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"We recently stayed here while visiting family in Iowa. Overall, it was a decent experience with both positives and negatives. We specifically booked a poolside room, expecting easy access to the pool area. While our room technically overlooked the pool, it was located upstairs and around the corner, which wasn’t quite what we had in mind when booking “poolside.” The indoor water park was definitely the highlight of our stay. My grandkids had an absolute blast, and it provided hours of entertainment. The room itself was clean, and the staff were very friendly, helpful, and pleasant to interact with throughout our visit. The property could use some updating, particularly the carpet in the common areas, which is showing its age. Another disappointment was that the restaurant closed because it opened at 3:00 PM, making it difficult to grab lunch. Overall, if you’re visiting with children and plan to spend time at the water park, it’s worth considering. The friendly staff and clean rooms were appreciated, but some facility updates and expanded dining hours would greatly improve the guest experience."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Staff was great. Only downfall was no tv reception for the first 2 hours after my check in. Front desk said it was because it was raining hard. Once the rain stopped, I got reception. Tried to take a bath while I was waiting for the tv to work and only had lukewarm water. Was disappointed."

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

4/10 Poor

"Seems like the hotel pictures that we saw before booking and what we experienced were poles apart. Even the breakfast place had literally crammed up with little to no space for folks. If getting a refund was an option would probably request consideration for that !"
