Top Wooly's Hotel Reviews

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Close to numerous places to eat at and convenient for the event we were attending."

Des Moines Marriott Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed the concierge lounge and how comfortable the bed was."

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Checking in was a challenge because there were several people gathered around the couch and tv in the lobby who were very loud and noisy. It made it very hard to hear what the receptionist was asking me. Maybe having a couch there isn’t the best idea because it invites groups to gather there."

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This is a wonderful property. I love staying there. It is both eclectic and comfortable. And I highly recommend it."

Embassy Suites Hotel Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and spacious rooms. Good breakfast and great coffee!"

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"

The Cartier Lux DT Apt w/Skyline View

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and just as described in the listing. The host was an amazing communicator and very prompt with replies. This was one of our best stays with VRBO and probably our most responsive host. The one problem we had (of my own making. I lost the key) was taken care of in just a few hours. This was a wonderful respite for my family. My sister was having heart surgery in Des Moines and we wanted to be close to the hospital for her surgery and follow up recovery appointments. I highly recommend this property and this host. Thank you Tiana and Zach for a wonderful stay."
