Top Wooly's Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice property in a convenient location for a one night stay. Clean and appropriate for our travel needs. Will say the dog hallway (we didn't bring our dogs) had some carpet issues but being pet friendly we understood that could happen."

"Great location within walking distance of the DART bus station (we went to the State Fair so it was nice to be able to just walk to the shuttle and not worry about driving and parking anywhere), convenient underground parking. This is a beautiful hotel, room was the best I’ve stayed in for a while. Hotel staff were helpful and we had a delicious breakfast at the restaurant. Definitely would stay here again."

Kasa Downtown Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great place to stay and it was clean. I was charged for a damaged side table that was damaged prior to my arrival. They investigated and realized I was not the one who damaged the side table and returned the fee they initially charged."

The Cartier Lux DT Apt w/Skyline View

10/10 Excellent

"The apartment was very clean, nicely decorated and just as described in the listing. The host was an amazing communicator and very prompt with replies. This was one of our best stays with VRBO and probably our most responsive host. The one problem we had (of my own making. I lost the key) was taken care of in just a few hours. This was a wonderful respite for my family. My sister was having heart surgery in Des Moines and we wanted to be close to the hospital for her surgery and follow up recovery appointments. I highly recommend this property and this host. Thank you Tiana and Zach for a wonderful stay."
