Top Walnut Woods State Park Hotel Reviews

Wildwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely front desk ladies. Room 101 was a suite and first impression was that it was very clean and the carpet was pristine. The room felt like a premium lodge/cabin and very homey with the heater on for us. Comfy bed. Soft sheets. Good pillows. Breakfast was light and good quality."

Homewood Suites by Hilton West Des Moines/SW Mall Area

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is great here! Love that there's a kitchen in the rooms, and a ceiling fan, which is a game changer in a hotel stay. I've had a few good stays here but I was on a different floor this last time and the room wasn't as maintained, some things were visibly broken and the remote for the TV was missing. they had no way to get another remote when I asked about it, so the TV was unusable the whole stay. That was a first, hopefully won't happen again! Would still stay again, maybe just not on that floor again, ha."
