Top Walnut Woods State Park Hotel Reviews

Courtyard Des Moines West/Jordan Creek

8/10 Good

"Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Front desk was very helpful especially Thomas he should get a raise."

Baymont by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"The stay was clean & comfortable. The room had been updated. The breakfast was excellent. Minimal dog fee (yes, there was a refundable deposit, but understandable). Yes, I would stay there again."

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed the hot breakfast in the mornings. We like staying there because of the convenience of the breakfast, the location & the accommodations. Very nice hotel."

Hampton Inn & Suites West Des Moines/SW Mall Area

8/10 Good

"Despite advertising a pool when I booked a few days before, the pool was down for seasonal maintenance when I came (not spontaneous issue, it was scheduled to be down). They did have an arrangement with the property next door to use their pool but there was no signage to this effect, one had to be willing to fuss at the front desk (and walk across the parking lot in a bathing suit and towel)"

Homewood Suites by Hilton West Des Moines/SW Mall Area

8/10 Good

"Breakfast is great here! Love that there's a kitchen in the rooms, and a ceiling fan, which is a game changer in a hotel stay. I've had a few good stays here but I was on a different floor this last time and the room wasn't as maintained, some things were visibly broken and the remote for the TV was missing. they had no way to get another remote when I asked about it, so the TV was unusable the whole stay. That was a first, hopefully won't happen again! Would still stay again, maybe just not on that floor again, ha."

Sheraton West Des Moines Hotel

8/10 Good

"ALL AND ALL IT WAS VERY NICE, AND PRICE WAS RIGHT."

Element by Marriott West Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was delicious and the chef was phenomenal, everything was restocked quickly. Didn’t make it to the pool but I’ve heard many great things. Would 100% stay again."
