Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent
"This property was well-maintained and immaculate. The rooms were spotless and the service was excellent. The only issue I encountered was a musty odor in the hallways that gave the building an “old” smell. Overall, however, my stay was excellent and I would gladly return if I’m in the area again."
