Top Polk City Hotel Reviews

Ramada Tropics Resort & Conf Center by Wyndham Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Overall I would say this is a 4/5 star. Pros- beds were super comfortable, nice clean linens and rooms. Which were even furnished with a small kitchenette that had a single cup coffee pot, refrigerator and microwave!!!! AC in Room worked great. Cons- the shower head didn't work as well and most the water was leaking from the faucet. The outside needs cleaned up as trash was blown everywhere, however it did not effect the inside. I would definitely stay here again!!!!! My kids really enjoyed the Waterpark as well and everything was In working order."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Very cute place to stay. Room was clean. Safe area. Didn't get to use the pool or hot tub as they were under construction. Didn't use the bar but it looked cute. Felt safe in the area. Good parking lot. Had to leave before breakfast hours but they did offer breakfast. Would definitely stay again!"

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent
