Top Saylorville Lake Hotel Reviews

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I came to ride my bicycle on the high Tresstle trail to the Raccoon river trail. The hotel was a good location and I happened to be there at a time when there was not a lot of guests. The room was nice and comfortable and it was very quiet. The staff was nice and helpful. I didn't check out any of the other amenities so I can't review them. Overall I had a pleasant experience."

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is a beautiful hotel only about 1 year old. It is very clean, location off the main street, and easy parking. Also, it is located next to a great bar/restaurant, Walgreens, and other facilities nearby. My only concern is that although, the front desk staff was very nice and friendly I felt the professionalism could be improved. Early in the morning I waited for someone to return to the front desk only to see they had been getting there breakfast at the dining room area. I would think meal breaks would not be during there shift and at the front desk."

Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Road

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay wish they had a hot tub but otherwise great"

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Booked it for the outdoor pool. However, they rent out the pool to children's parties. 15 screaming kids invaded the pool and what was a relaxing afternoon ended abruptly."

Fairfield Inn & Suites Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Ice machine not working. The door frame to my room showed light from the hallway. In some respects, I would call that a fire hazard as smoke would fill the room quickly"

Holiday Inn Express and Suites Urbandale by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Facility was clean and staff was friendly. I would have preferred to have coffee in my room rather than walking down from 3rd floor for a cup. Staff was friendly but unavailable at checkout time (About 630AM) So I dropped my key in the can at the desk and left while another guest was impatiently waiting to check out because he needed a receipt. Overall the stay was very good."

TownePlace Suites by Marriott - Des Moines Urbandale

8/10 Good

"Need more waste baskets in room & hooks in bathroom (no way to hang towels). Also, mattress was very soft & AC nest to bed was uncomfortable."

Residence Inn by Marriott Des Moines Ankeny

10/10 Excellent

"Very relaxing and central to numerous activities."

Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Des Moines - Northwest by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"This is a really nice property. And the attached restaurant is a nice plus!"
