Top Des Moines MEPS Hotel Reviews

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

8/10 Good

"This hotel is strangely tucked in between car dealerships. It was conveniently located right off the interstate. It is an older hotel that needs some renovation. The room was clean, spacious enough and was sufficient for one night stay. Breakfast was available but just okay."

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean. Seemed to be a fair price Staff always courteous and helpful. Quiet nights sleep. Great breakfast. We will be back"

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed at this hotel for several years. While there was an upgrade to many features, some were not for the best. The elevators were dirty (noticed when someone had sprayed a soda all over the walls...not cleaned once while we were there). Also, they changed the great business center with two desktop computers and a printer. They removed that for a wireless printer that did not work without the instructions as promised to be found or produced. Had to email staff at the front desk to print items and then go retrieve them. Breakfast has also been cheapened as it use to be really great. Overall, this is a great little hotel...but there is always room for improvement."

Tru By Hilton Grimes Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean hotel. We enjoyed our stay."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Des Moines Urbandale

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was great except the breakfast. No cups for the water/juice. The “juices” were pure water with a hint of concentrate. Very few choices for food."

Ramada Tropics Resort & Conf Center by Wyndham Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Enjoyed the stay, kids had fun in water park ."

Homewood Suites By Hilton Urbandale Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines - Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

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!"
