Top Living History Farms Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"NA"

Wildwood Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely front desk ladies. Room 101 was a suite and first impression was that it was very clean and the carpet was pristine. The room felt like a premium lodge/cabin and very homey with the heater on for us. Comfy bed. Soft sheets. Good pillows. Breakfast was light and good quality."

Hotel Renovo Des Moines Urbandale,Tapestry Collection Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"A+"

Best Western Plus Des Moines West Inn & Suites

8/10 Good

"Our 2 night stay was relatively enjoyable. The room was large and clean. I slept well on the bed and the bathroom offered everything we needed. The breakfast and good with a wide selection of items. The pool and hot tub were large and clean. Plenty of parking and convenient to many restaurants and shops. Loved the outdoor seating areas, although we did not use gas fire pit. Safe and quiet area. Now the downside, the walls are paper thin and it was hard to sleep because the room above was loud, like banging on the ceiling with every footstep. The front desk was not friendly and couldn’t answer simple questions on the area. Good for the price."
