Top Des Moines MEPS Hotel Reviews

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"

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and staff was great."

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

"This is a really nice property. And the attached restaurant is a nice plus!"

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!"
