Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good
"Nice stay, great location- newer area and by a bunch of food places, gas station, etc. You can walk to breakfast place, donuts, taco shop and others right outside the door. The beds weren’t as comfortable- ours tended to dip in the middle. Also, there is the lightest blanket on the bed and no extra blankets so that isn’t always comfortable. Breakfast was good- lot of options. We’d stay again."
