GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and the staff was super friendly. The pool area was nice and clean as well"

Home2 Suites by Hilton Des Moines at Drake University

10/10 Excellent

"Can’t get any better on the road. Terrific staff, super room, loved the noise deafening. A drunk guy and his girl came in very loud in the middle of the night. As soon as they closed their door, couldn’t hear a thing. Eco-friendly."
