Watrous South Hotels, Des Moines

"Staff was friendly but sometimes difficult to find, not always at the front desk - it felt like the front desk was asked to be the front desk, PM housekeeping, bar tenders and all other staff at the same time. Room was clean. Housekeeping is by request only if you’re there multiple nights. Parking is good. Breakfast is nice. Water pressure is absolutely awful "

"We always look for a Drury when traveling. Great locations, rooms very clean rooms, good food, excellent value!"

"So I actually stayed here for about 7/8 weeks I believe. Jan to mar 2026 when I move here recently. Had everything I needed and more than the previous numerous hotels I’d stayed in at a cheaper cost. Had a nice small kitchen, place was clean, heating/ac worked fine. I’ll honestly have fond memories of my time here while I settled in to the city before getting my apartment. The staff were really nice and helpful in any way they could be. I managed through those weeks without a car at that time also and it was useful to have some nearby things like gas station, places to eat at walkable distance and also a bus stop close by, which is only a few minutes walk if you cut through the hotel next door. This hotel was basically my first home after moving to Des Moines. If I have friends or family visit from the uk I’ll happily suggest this place to them. "

"The rooms were extremely clean, the staff were outstandingly amazing, the breakfast every morning felt like home cooking and tasted just like it to, and the pool area was perfect for children and adults! Overall 10/10 love this place!"

"Our room was beautiful and clean, staff was so kind, the breakfast was wonderful. Our first day we went to breakfast early, our second day we went later and the food quality was still great which means they were on top of it!! the lobby is beautiful, the hotels location was perfect we walked everywhere all weekend! Looking forward to staying here again someday "
