Top National Balloon Museum Hotel Reviews

Baymont by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing! We stayed at a different hotel in Kansas before this one, and this hotel was 10 times better. The bed, blankets, amenities—everything was perfect! The staff was incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain all the different amenities and options the hotel offered. It’s a little off the beaten path, but so worth it. I also loved the mini convenience store—the selection was great and had everything we needed. We had such a wonderful stay and would absolutely stay here again!"
