Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice stay. Quiet and beds were comfortable"
GrandStay Hotel & Suites
8/10 Good
"Check in was smooth, friendly. Housekeeping staff encountered were great. Spacious, clean, nicely renovated room. Could use more lighting around mirror in the bathroom in order to see yourself for things like shaving, etc. Hotel well maintained inside and the grounds. My only complaint was the complimentary breakfast. Not much selection of hot food. A let down. Our accommodations were for 2 nights. Breakfast both mornings consisted primarily of biscuits and gravy, sausage links, a waffle iron and mix-your-own instant oatmeal. Arrived in the breakfast area an hour before breakfast ended both days to find all but the biscuits and gravy container empty with no one to be found to replenish items. On the second day of breakfast, I went to the front desk to find out if anyone would be refilling breakfast items, waffle mix. Response from the guy behind the desk insultingly was: "She is back there. She will get to it when she gets to it." Nice huh! Not big fans of biscuits and gravy for breakfast. We ended up leaving the hotel and went out for breakfast both mornings."
