Sleep Inn & Suites Ankeny - Des Moines

8/10 Good

"The towels were clean but VERY thin"

Sleep Inn & Suites Ames near ISU Campus

10/10 Excellent

"Enjoyed our stay!!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

10/10 Excellent

"I really enjoyed my stay! This was my first time in Ankeny, IA. My room was very clean and smelled so nice! I looked forward to walking into the room every time I went out. Breakfast was fine for me and had adequate options. The breakfast room was clean and well organized. There was a football game on the TV in the lobby and I had fun watching with the friendly female receptionist who was a fan of one of the teams. I will definitely plan to stay here on future trips if the price remains competitive."

Spark by Hilton Ames

"Nice clean hotel, with a good breakfast. That's a kids wading pool, not a Hot Tub."

"We enjoyed our stay and couldn’t have been happier with our choice."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel however the breakfast has a very limited option. I also didn't like the smell in my room but that's just me. Overall it was ok."

Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"For a quick stay in Ames it's perfect. I was concerned initially because of the ratings, but gave it a chance anyway. The staff I came in contact with were welcoming and helpful! The front desk gentleman was very attentive and friendly! There was a lady that worked the breakfast stations (I didn't catch her name) she was absolutely wonderful, personable and sweet. The rooms were very simple (not fancy), but clean (and I look at everything!!!) As a single female traveler I felt very safe there. The breakfast was great! Lots of choices available! I would definitely stay again."

Best Western Premier Des Moines-Ankeny Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean, staff was friendly, and they had many options for breakfast. This hotel was close to shopping, restaurants, and a quick drive to Ames or Des Moines. We will stay here again!"
