Top Central Iowa Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. Fast check in and the staff were very polite. Breakfast was great and we extend our stay and they didn't give us a hard time"

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Booked it for the outdoor pool. However, they rent out the pool to children's parties. 15 screaming kids invaded the pool and what was a relaxing afternoon ended abruptly."

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good

"We were shocked when a manager came to our door the morning of checkout wondering how long it would be when we left. He came about 11:15 am. He said checkout was supposed to be 11:00 an. Nothing was said or given to us on paper saying that. We looked on the back of our door the night before and it was printed as 12:00 pm. That's the time we planed to be checked out by. They should do better to let their customers know the time."
