Top Polk City Refuge Hotel Reviews

Sonesta Essential Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Good"

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"This was my third time staying at this property and everything was mostly fine. This was the only time I ever felt "rushed" to check-out. Housekeeping knocked on my door several times despite check-out being 90 minutes away and a DnD sign on my door.. One knock happened when I was in the shower.. Not a great feeling for a solo traveler trying to enjoy a quiet morning. This hotel is hidden gem and I will more than likely stay here again, though. Safe area, easy parking and near the interstate."
