Residence Inn by Marriott Des Moines Ankeny

8/10 Good

"Clean!! Friendly and helpful staff. They were at or near the desk whenever we had questions. Bottled water was welcomed. We liked the suite layout. Breakfast was just ok. Sausage was not good, bold coffee needs more bold!! Good location for a ride on the High Trestle Bridge."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful and clean. Way larger than we had expected. Stayed on the way home as an overnight pit stop and definitely will be returning. Two separate buildings was nice for less foot traffic and quiet. The front doors were only unlocked using our keys which made it feel very safe."
