Top Cambridge Hotel Reviews

Wildwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice, clean room. The lobby was interesting, unique decor. Had nice places to walk our dog."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

8/10 Good

"I loved the decor and shower. However, the cleaning of our room was making the bed only. I purposefully put out the toilet paper and tissue container out because we ran of tissues and only had one roll of to. Also, I left our dirty towels and in the shower and they didn’t move or pick them up. The battery in the thermostat was dead m, so it was toasty in the room when we arrived. The front desk and maintenance were great though."

Holiday Inn Downtown - Mercy Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Cold lobby, cold room!!! 😊👌and Aldin(?) At the front desk was awesome! Huge upgrade from a hotel originally booked that didn't have close parking closed lot had to drag ALL my stuff clear across from a secondary parking lot a 2 lane road and the " closed" parking lot to enter a hotel lobby and eventually a hotel room that were hot. Due to air issues and the manager got snippy and told me I should have checked the website for updates/ air issues parking lot etc. As far as Im concerned a voutesy call or text should have been sent to assess the customer of the issues that were going to lead to a sub par stay...not make it about the customer and what else they should do. And then offering NO discount ir anything to make up fit the situation NOTHING! So NY stay at the Springhill Bonvoy was very much a destination that changed my trip. And I was very happy Expedia gave me a room upgrade as well. Breakfast provided was adequate and had good selection."

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

8/10 Good

"I like the hotel good location for visiting our son at Iowa State. Staff was friendly but didn't like having to request housekeeping. It would be nice if the room included breakfast for two instead of one. The restaurant was was delicious and staff very helpful"

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

8/10 Good

"On arrival we were met by a lively, bubbly young lady (Janelle?) who was trying to juggle a lot of other jobs whist checking us in, ie answering the phone, someone wanting a TV cable, etc. The room was clean and I was delighted that it had a tea/coffee maker that was placed on the desk area where I could reach easily instead of on a high TV cabinet as in other hotels. There were plenty of brochures and vending machines in the corridor. For the first time during our holiday, my daughter and I actually managed to find time for a swim in the pool - went in slowly which was a mistake, but once we got used to the temperature it was quite nice. The breakfast choices were sufficient for our needs with the usual scrambled eggs, sausages and biscuits. Toast, cereals, muffins, waffles and fruit as well as hot and cold drinks. We had no reason to use the laundry having done ours previously but the facilities looked okay. Plenty of parking spaces too."
