Top Saylorville Lake Hotel Reviews

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I came to ride my bicycle on the high Tresstle trail to the Raccoon river trail. The hotel was a good location and I happened to be there at a time when there was not a lot of guests. The room was nice and comfortable and it was very quiet. The staff was nice and helpful. I didn't check out any of the other amenities so I can't review them. Overall I had a pleasant experience."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk."

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."

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!"
