Top Central Iowa Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good
"Stayed there prior to flying out the next morning. Hotel was a great affordable option for somewhere to crash for a night. Room was clean (though just a bit musty), staff was extremely helpful, there was a breakfast before we left and we had the option to leave our car at the hotel and take a shuttle to the airport for a very small daily cost. Would definitely stay again."
