Top Trailhead Park and Arboretum Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast, very clean, spacious and lots of amenities. Good and easy location too right off freeway"

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University

8/10 Good

"I really loved everything except I have an extra $20 charge that I have no idea why???? Very frustrating."

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"As always our stay was pleasant and the space is what we needed. The lobby always smells good. The property is starting to show some age. Staff is helpful and friendly. I guess my one negative comment would be the breakfast was less than the standard. They are pet friendly and have a reasonable fee compared to others."

Qube Hotel

8/10 Good

"The front staff was helpful. The air conditioner had a weird smell to the air but the room was very clean. The breakfast was nice."

Sonesta Essential Ames

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I really liked having a 50" inch smart tv which allowed me to watch all my shows on my apps. My room had a sleeper sofa and coffee table which were nice additions as well as having a mini fridge and microwave. The breakfast was nice because there were hot and cold items to chose from. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the housekeepers! If I'm in the area I would definitely stay again!"
