Ankeny9 nights9.4/10 - Exceptional (331 reviews)"The overall stay was a 4 out of 5. Room for improvement could be the cleanliness of the pool area and keeping it stocked with towels. My other complaint was the water pressure and temperature in the bathroom. The water was not very hot and the pressure left a little to be desired. You often had to wait for staff to come to the front desk as well."Reviewed June 2, 2026Roundtrip • Philadelphia (PHL) - Des Moines (DSM)PHL - DSM • Nonstop DSM - TTN • Nonstop$1,353$1,166found 1 day agoper traveler - Holiday Inn Express & Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG
