Top Living History Farms Hotel Reviews

Wildwood Lodge

8/10 Good

"The property was super clean and the staff was amazing as usual. The pool was nice, but the Hot Tub was down. That's the only bad thing about the place. Breakfast was very tasty."

SpringHill Suites Des Moines West

8/10 Good

"The room we stayed is clean and well maintained. The only thing is the breakfast. It was not good."

Motel 6 West Des Moines, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in a nice location near shopping and restaurants with friendly staff and very clean rooms. I love the endless supply of hot water and that it was pet friendly. There were vending machines on site with Ice. There were lots of good T.V. Channels, and the refrigerator was a nice touch. The door was a little misaligned so that dead bolt wouldn't work though. There was still the inside door bar that kept the door from opening up all the way."

Newly remodeled 3-bedroom ranch with pool table, patio, and grill in Urbandale.

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and quiet, exactly what we were looking for, had a baseball tournament and town and was easy to get to both complexes from the location."

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location! Host responded quickly. Would book this home again."
