Top Water Works Park Hotel Reviews

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

10/10 Excellent

"This is my second time staying here and I really enjoyed my stay. Everything was perfect for me and I really don’t have any complaints. Room was nice and comfortable. Property was clean and very secure and welcoming. Wonderful breakfast selection. I have dietary restrictions and I was able to find things to eat. They even had oat milk, which was huge for me being lactose intolerant and vegan. I will definitely stay again and recommend to others."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Friendly staff, great atmosphere, very busy but not too busy to address our needs."

AmericInn by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"Stains in toilet"

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Valet was great. Restaurant & breakfast buffet were good; however, the food on the buffet was cold. Starbucks staff was friendly."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The ambiance of this historical hotel makes it an experience, they went all out for Halloween! The staff was so friendly and helpful with directions on parking. And a bonus was the breakfast selection - so much better than many other hotel breakfasts!"

Walnut Row, Walk to Valley Junction, Sleeps 10+

10/10 Excellent

"I can't say enough about our stay at Walnut place. Very cozy and comfortable. we had more room than we needed. Comfortable beds, close to dining and shopping and most importantly it was CLEAN! If were in the area again, we will certainly stay here again and again!"

Centrally Located Wooded A-Frame

10/10 Excellent

8/10 Good

"Such a wonderful experience with all of the extras included. We had kitchenware for cooking, extra linens and toiletries. the beds were very comfortable and a lot of space. Great stay!"

The Palms Mirage House 3 Bedroom Home

8/10 Good

"The house is lovely for a weekend of meditation or connecting with nature, but I wouldn't recommend it for very outgoing families, as the local community is very sensitive about music. I actually felt stressed by the surrounding environment; in my view, renting a house implies having more freedom to have fun, but that wasn't the case here. Next time, I’d choose a hotel instead—I’d have a better time and save money, too."
