“Beautiful and clean! Very pleased with our stay and breakfast surpassed expectations. Travis at the front counter was very helpful, friendly and accommodating! Will be back!”

“We had a fabulous stay with Holiday Inn Express! Our check in was easy, which was so appreciated after a long drive! The room was impeccably clean and well stocked. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was excellent! We …”

“Our experience was amazing, they were all so accommodating. We had a mishap in our room and a wine bottle broke. They don’t have bell boys and the person to help clean it was the receptionist at the front desk. She offered to clean it for us which was very much appreciated. We loved the restaurant, their food was amazing and the casino of course is always a good time.”

120 SW Water St, Des Moines, IA 50309, United States

“the location is ideal. The view from the window is good. Breakfast is good. Overall a good hotel. There were minor problems with the TV and the drain in the sink, but upon request, everything was resolved quickly. Didn't like: lack of ventilation in the bathroom.”

295 S 64th St, West Des Moines, IA 50266, United States

“I wouldn’t say it’s the best. The rooms are really nice apart from it having no soap anywhere and there being blood on our bedding. Also I don’t recommend the breakfast. It’s the most flavorless chewy food ever. I just sat there laughing with my husband because the whole experience felt like being at an unwanted family gathering. Very awkward very gross. Side note the juices all tasted like water, just wanted to enjoy my apple juice lol. One last thing… if you don’t mind hearing the employees talking on FaceTime everywhere and the stairways smelling like weed then you’ll love it here…”

11167 Hickman Rd, Urbandale, IA 50322, United States

“I hate to say it but this hotel is over-rated. Beautiful on the outside and when you first walk in- but very mediocre aside from that- for what you pay. Rooms are tiny and outdated. Pool area is nice but overcrowded. Couple things about the pool area- I understand towels staying low when it’s busy on a Saturday, and pool bathroom being a mess when busy- but we went down there again Sunday morning, no one in there- and there were zero towels and the bathroom was still disgusting. I had to go out and ask the front desk for towels twice and still waited forever to get any. The king bed was extremely comfortable but my kids’ pull out couch was HORRIBLE. I’m surprised the springs hadn’t poked all the way through- it was ridiculous. We were going to do the breakfast but after looking at it, it seemed like a pretty typical continental breakfast that should definitely be complimentary given the price you already pay for the rooms. Upon leaving neither person at the front desk said a word to us when we were clearly leaving- not a simple thanks for coming. You typically get what you pay for, but in this situation I feel this hotel is very over-rated for the price.”

5555 Sergeant Rd, Sioux City, IA 51106, United States

“The rooms were clean and well kept. Great location near tons of restaurants and shopping. I had to wait to check in because nobody was at the front desk. The gentleman that was also waiting said he had been there 15 minutes. Had the same issue checking out, no staff to be found.”

2500 University Blvd, Ames, IA 50010, United States

“I stayed here to be close to the ice arena and it was only about a five minute drive to get there as well as many restaurants in the area. The hotel was clean and had your standard hotel breakfast (decent but nothing that stood out). We …”

929 3rd St, Des Moines, IA 50309, United States

“Staff was amazing, hotel was easy to navigate, room view was beautiful. Jacuzzi tub in my suite still had hairs left in it so it wasn’t properly cleaned, but after I removed them the tub was great. Breakfast was very nice and overall a great experience. I feel as though the price was too high for the one night we stayed.”

2023 7th Ave N, Clear Lake, IA 50428, United States

“Staff were super friendly. I believe it was Vicky who got me all set up and checked in. Overall the rooms and hotel itself are pretty nice but when you walk into the lobby and down the halls it has a bit of an old/musty smell instead of a nice clean/inviting smell so the building shows its age a bit but it is fairly updated. The room was a little better smelling. Other than that though everything was pretty good! Room was clean and presentable. There is a train that goes by at night that might wake you up though. Decent hotel though for a quick short stay and easy access from the highway with lots of room to park large vehicles right next to door in the lot if needed.”

2405 SE Creekview Dr, Ankeny, IA 50021, United States

“Worst experience ever!! We waited almost 30 minutes for the front desk person to show up. And other employees we behind us and did nothing. When the person finally came out, they were groggy and look like they just woke up. All the staff seemed like it was a bother to help us. Our bathroom had mold and dirt in it. Over not clean. Our room was not the best either, but it was decent enough. I hope the staff gets better.”

240 Jordan Creek Pkwy, West Des Moines, IA 50266, United States

“I have stayed here for 2 weeks and I want to express that every employee had been wonderful, but I’d like to point out Antonio in this particular. He has went above and beyond for me multiple occasions, as someone who stays in a lot of hotels, this man deserves a promotion or a raise immediately! He is a perfect example of how a hotel employee should be!”

2211 S 32nd St, Council Bluffs, IA 51501, United States

“On the I-80 road, getting late and needed to find a place to stay. About 5 minutes from Council Bluffs, I used my IHG app and was able to easily get a room for the night. When we arrived at the Hotel 5 minutes after making the …”

1200 1st Ave, Coralville, IA 52241, United States

“Less expensive than other Hiltons in the area. The water in the bathrooms in the lobby area was not working. The breakfast was the minimum you expect. We stayed one night and it wasn't a problem. Low end of Hilton standards is still better than a lot of places.”

925 Park St, Grinnell, IA 50112, United States

“I spent 2 nights at this hotel and had the best experience. I was in town for the Indy race and the location of Hotel Grinnell was perfect. The owners personally shuttled guests to the race in their RV and stayed there with the motor running in case we needed to come back and cool off or relax between events. The manager communicated with me throughout my stay to ensure all of my needs were met and exceeded. I felt like family at the end of my 2 days there. They have bikes for guests to use (at no charge) if they want to ride around and explore this cute little town. The hotel is a repurposed middle school and the owner did a great job with keeping some middle school effects. The restaurant, The Periodic Table, is so adorable and has games to play, live music on the patio, and great service. The complimentary breakfast was perfect. I will definitely stay at this hotel when I go to the races next year!”

8789 Plum Dr, Urbandale, IA 50322, United States

“I had never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express, but if they are all like this hotel, I will definitely try to stay at one again! The front desk staff was so friendly and welcoming, and probably the nicest I've experienced in awhile. The hotel …”

2034 La Porte Rd, Waterloo, IA 50702, United States

“We stayed over the weekend for a little family fun! We were greeted by Monika and taken care of by her for the whole weekend. She is AMAZING. Even with a full house she kept a smile on her face and took care of each guest with such hospitality. She made sure everyone was comfortable and had what we needed to enjoy our stay. Even popping in to the pool area to make sure the kids were having fun. You have the best manager and she’s a great asset to your establishment. We will be back every chance we get!”

2100 SE 16th St, Ames, IA 50010, United States

“We had our family Christmas here and utilized the hotels many amenities. They could not have been more helpful and the facilities were perfect. We rented the room next to the breakfast area and were able to host about 30 people eating, watching football and opening presents. It was a great place for our families!”

5061 Competition Dr, Bettendorf, IA 52722, United States

“Room was super clean, water very hot. Service was very helpful when we had delays in our departure. Bistro on 1st floor served okay breakfast but was quick. If I make this drive again I'll easily stay again.”

800 48th Ave, Amana, IA 52203, United States

“We have the most amazing experience at hotel millwright. It was appointed beautifully. Our experience with the staff from check-in, cocktails at the bar, meeting the GM, a late night call from the front desk & checkout in the morning were nothing short of exceptional. We were both so pleasantly surprised to be in such a bougie hotel with such a laid back staff in such an unsuspecting town. Gratitude.”
