Top Iowa Gold Star Military Museum Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"The room was beautiful and clean. Way larger than we had expected. Stayed on the way home as an overnight pit stop and definitely will be returning. Two separate buildings was nice for less foot traffic and quiet. The front doors were only unlocked using our keys which made it feel very safe."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the better hotels I have stayed lately. The location is safe and quiet, the room is very nice, and the staff was great. The maid even followed me to my car to return a piece of clothing I left in the room. I highly recommend!"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Urbandale/Des Moines

8/10 Good

"It's a nice place to stay."

King & 2 Queen Beds, Centrally Located 15 Minutes from Anywhere in Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"My significant other and I really enjoyed staying here. It's a cozy home located in a quiet neighborhood. It has all the amenities that you would need to feel like you are at home away from home. DeAnna is a wonderful host with excellent communication skills. She also has her pulse on all things Des Moines and can make wonderful recommendations to out of town guests who aren't familiar with what Des Moines has to offer. Highly recommended!"

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!"
