8/10 Good

"Ice machine not working. The door frame to my room showed light from the hallway. In some respects, I would call that a fire hazard as smoke would fill the room quickly"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Need more waste baskets in room & hooks in bathroom (no way to hang towels). Also, mattress was very soft & AC nest to bed was uncomfortable."

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines - Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really nice property. And the attached restaurant is a nice plus!"

Spacious 5BR Retreat w/Beautiful Views,3 King 2 Full 1 Queen bed, AC in Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here with two other families and the house was a perfect home base for the weekend. The kitchen had just about everything we needed, the bedrooms are spacious, and the kids loved the basement as a hang out space. The location is great because it’s not far off the interstate and the house is directly across the street from a huge park. We took the younger kids over to play; nice that it was walkable. Would stay here again!"
