Top Grimes Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Des Moines West, IA

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel was one of the best value-for-the-price stays I have had in a long time. Very nice facilities, comfortable beds, rooms well-appointed. My favorite thing was that the hot tub was open til midnight, which is about 2 hour longer than most hotels offer, with a guaranteed "adults only" time! I will pay more attention to this chain when I travel in the future."

"Front desk lady was very helpful and courteous."

"I would stay again, and highly recommended"

Hyatt Place Des Moines/Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room looked very clean until we pulled the bed out of the couch and found old wrapers and crumbs. Other then that everything was great including the breakfast and the pool area. Would stay again. The biggest thing I loved about the stay was they had a parking garage to park in. Yes it does cost to stay in it but I'd pay it to keep my vehicle safe and not have to fight for a street parking that u have to Pay for every 4 hours."

"The hot tub wasn’t working but over all was a good stay"
