Top Des Moines Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good
"A decent place to stay for the price. Did not hear airplanes at all, despite being right next to the airport, so very quiet. Room was nice and clean, but musty smelling. Was very humid outside and the air conditioning unit was older and probably needed some cleaning, or maybe it was the carpet holding humidity. Otherwise a nice room with a fridge and microwave. Breakfast was the same basic foods as most other hotels. Just wish hotels would serve REAL eggs instead of fake food. Too many chemicals and not healthy."
