Charming Winterset Vacation Rental w/ Yard & Patio

Winterset

"We stayed here on a trip for the Knoxville Nationals. Went to the John Wayne Museum, seen the bridges. The house is a nice house, met many locals at the pharmacy-resturaunt in the square downtown, very friendly, ate at several other local spots, all good service and food. The area is quiet and the house in great shape, clean, had plenty of towels and comfortable beds. Would definitely recommend if you need a place in this area. "

Charming Iowa Abode Near Knoxville Raceway!

Knoxville

"There are no pet friendly hotels in Knoxville so we were very happy to find this pretty house for our stay when back for a family funeral. Pros: ample parking, good location, very clean, large space, nice kitchen, large yard, DISH TV, pet friendly, rapid response from owner, sleeps multiple people Cons: sleeps multiple people but only 1 key provided, couches don’t face TV, 2 BRs have no doors so there is privacy only for people in upstairs BR, outlet in basement bath not working "

Top Central Iowa Hotel Reviews

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"The hot tub had too much chlorine took the color out of my granddaughter’s bathing suit but other than that it’s great hotel!"

Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Des Moines Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived after 1am and unfortunately Hotels.com only allows to book based on date, meaning because it was after midnight, we technically couldn't check-in til 3pm and it was 1am. Fortunately, the front desk worked with us and found an open room and accommodated our night stay. This was during the College World Series and was a huge help to our family of 5."

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent

"Cheerfully greeted upon our arrival. We did not use any amenities in the building, as stayed there prior to an early flight out. We did utilize the airport shuttle as we parked in the hotel lot, for a daily fee. We were provided coffee even at 3 AM, and also upon our return. Would definitely stay there again, whether going to the airport or just visiting the city."

Hotel Fort Des Moines, Curio Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"We purchased the breakfast and early check in and out. Our reservation said resort credits but since it didn’t say what those credits were we didn’t get the breakfast we paid for. This was very disappointing to pay extra and not get it but I feel this is expedias fault not so much the hotel’s since Expedia did not specify those credits to the hotel. Very disappointing since we splurged for a date not away from our 5 kids which rarely happens."
