8/10 Good

"Ice machine not working. The door frame to my room showed light from the hallway. In some respects, I would call that a fire hazard as smoke would fill the room quickly"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Need more waste baskets in room & hooks in bathroom (no way to hang towels). Also, mattress was very soft & AC nest to bed was uncomfortable."

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

8/10 Good

"This hotel is strangely tucked in between car dealerships. It was conveniently located right off the interstate. It is an older hotel that needs some renovation. The room was clean, spacious enough and was sufficient for one night stay. Breakfast was available but just okay."

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines - Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really nice property. And the attached restaurant is a nice plus!"
