Hyatt Place West Des Moines Jordan Creek

"Nice place. New neighborhood"

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good

"We were shocked when a manager came to our door the morning of checkout wondering how long it would be when we left. He came about 11:15 am. He said checkout was supposed to be 11:00 an. Nothing was said or given to us on paper saying that. We looked on the back of our door the night before and it was printed as 12:00 pm. That's the time we planed to be checked out by. They should do better to let their customers know the time."

Sonesta Simply Suites Des Moines

"Was clean and she answered right away!"

Hampton Inn & Suites West Des Moines/SW Mall Area

8/10 Good

"We didn't get a chance to try the breakfast but it smelled great! A good amount of wear and tear in our room (especially the bathroom), my daughter complained of the cheap TP (you could see through it, it was so thin), beds were incredibly comfortable so we slept great, market had nearly nothing in it for snacks, front staff was never at the front desk when i needed something, i had to knock on the door to their back room to get checked in. All in all, a fine stay, but nothing spectacular. For the same price, I feel like I could find better."

Aloft by Marriott Waukee

8/10 Good

"My reservation was for only 1 night. The room was clean, but there were a couple of issues I found and a couple of suggestions I have. The issues: There was no hot water running through the sink, but thankfully the shower had hot water. The vanity light at the sink didn't work, and the light switches we're oddly placed, so you didn't quite know which switch would turn on/off which light. Also, the walls seemed to be very thin. You could hear most things happening in the next room and hallway. Some suggestions: The bed was very hard, a tad bit softer would be ideal. My soar neck and shoulder would appreciate it. An outlet by each side of the bed would be nice, not just on one side. The walk-in shower was nice, the fridge worked great and the television was nice and big, but could have used more channel options. The issues really didn't affect my overall stay and I'd stay here again because of its great location."
