Top Des Moines MEPS Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean very large suite. Breakfast was clean and lots of variety. Right of I 35 so good location. Lots of restaurants with in walking distance."

Tru By Hilton Grimes Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Wi-fi issues for two days. I called the number they gave me on day two and they needed my IP address. Did have wi-fi that night. Front desk did tell me about another guest unable to get wi-fi too. System problem not hotel issue. 4 unsupervised children under 12 playing football in pool while my three grandchildren were trying to have fun in the pool. Help did check who was there to supervise (no one) boys took football and left when asked to leave Wife fell while going to car in the rain. Left a trail of blood from car back to our room. They did give me an extra laundry bag to put her blood soaked close in. I told front desk about the blood on floor in room. They did ask if she was ok."

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

6/10 Okay

"I reserved a handicapped accessible room due to a recent heel surgery and using a knee scooter AND my travel companion is in a wheelchair. It was a disappointment. The property only has one handicap curb entrance into the entire building and the handicap automatic door is on the opposite side of the entrance of the curb, so it is worthless. The room with the roll in shower is too small to turn a wheelchair around. Im not talking about a manuel chair, I'm talking about a zero radius turn chair. My knee scooter was very hard to navigate, as it had no room to turn at all. So I spent the weekend picking it up to turn it. The chair barely cleared the aisle between the bed and TV stand, catching the bedding every time. This property is clean, staff is friendly, the breakfast is good, and the price reasonable but it is not easy to navigate if you are disabled and using mobility equipment."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

6/10 Okay

"Our room door would stick and was hard to open when we tried to go in and out. We had a chair in our room that was broken and I stopped at the front desk to let them know and they said it would get taken care of but no one came to give us a chair we could sit in. There was a sign saying they were going to replace the hallway carpet a month before we got there but it had not been changed and was loose and very easy to trip on. Their morning breakfast was outstanding and we enjoyed that very much and let the staff know."
