Top West Des Moines Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites Des Moines West

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, the staff went out of their way to help us with more bedding and towels, the breakfast was good, could have a few more choices, but way better than some other places. The hot tub was hot, which is very good."

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Quick stop for 1 night. Very friendly staff and great location - it's nestled in a property like an outdoor mall. Experience a little affected by one side of the elevators being out, combined with a flock of traveling kid baseball teams, so we ended up skipping any kick back. 20 minutes from down town."

Courtyard Des Moines West/Jordan Creek

10/10 Excellent

"This is my new favorite place to stay while in Des Moines. Very friendly staff the moment you walk in. It was clean and had everything I needed. On check out again the staff were amazing. Very friendly. I forgot my necklace and didn't realize it till later. The staff went above and beyond to help find it. It had slipped behind the night stand so I did not see it when I left. I called and they went and looked and tossed the bed trying to find it. I was in tears but they called me back and they had found it. They were so nice and so helpful. I will be staying again and again when I am in Des Moines all the time."

Residence Inn by Marriott Des Moines West at Jordan Creek Town Center

10/10 Excellent

"I was greeted with a smile from the Desk Clerk, completely apprised of all the amenities and urged to make use of them. My room was delightfully clean and cooled, beginning with the sitting room and kitchenette, separate room for sleeping, and yet another room for shower and toilet. Needless to say, my first luxury was dropping my luggage in the waiting rack and climbing in to the hot shower which had shampoo/conditioner/body cleanser readily available, a very welcome option following the past day and night full of missed and delayed flights. Tucked in to the counter was a powerful hair dryer - very welcome as I neglected to bring mine. Within an hour of arrival, I was restored and ready to attend my granddaughter's graduation events thanks to the functionality of the room! The next morning I was amazed at the hot buffet breakfast prepared and served up by two friendly, helpful hosts. The buffet offered hot steamy biscuits and gravy, sausage, light fluffy scrambled eggs, cereal - both hot and cold, yogurt, toast, bagels, juice and coffee bars and so much more. Guests could choose to eat in or outside on the beautiful patio or surrounding grounds. Check out was easy peazy - I just turned in my keys and received a printout of my payment. Later I received the 'how did we do?' e-mail which I am happy to say FIVE STARS across the board!!!"
