La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. Clean room and great staff. Quick check in"

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"This stay worked for what we needed it for. Close to baseball fields, Texas Roadhouse in the parking lot and decent priced. Not as up to date as the normal Townplace hotels we generally stay in. Fridge in our room wasn’t cold, ice machine not working on our floor or a few others, laundry on site but only one working dryer so not convenient when there were two others that could have been available! I will say pretty quiet for all of the sports teams staying so that was a big advantage and did not have kids up and down the halls. Easy location. Fairly clean. Nice pool but wish the hot tub was working."

Tru By Hilton Grimes Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"While we spent much of our time away from the hotel, we did check out the amenities. The breakfast options were very good, plenty of choice that changed daily and was of good quality. The hotel was very new and still in excellent condition. The exercise and pool areas were small'ish but nicely matched to the size of the hotel and outfitted with good equipment."
