Top Merle Hay Mall Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"Love the overall atmosphere. Staff is super friendly and everything is nice and clean, even while under renovation. The only 'complaint' I have is the rooms need overhead lights. The side table lamps just do not give off enough light. This was our third time staying here this summer and will be back in a couple of weeks."

AmericInn by Wyndham Johnston Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Hotel may have seen better days but room was quiet and clean, and hotel was packed. Breakfast was on the sparse side but we got there towards the end and they do have a waffle maker. Wifi wasn't great but they have plenty of outlets -- just make sure you have a plug-in adapter."

1 bed, 1 bath Central DM by VA Hospital North of Drake University No Stairs.

8/10 Good

"The place is cute, location in Beaverdale and all its charms was great. Apt is small, hard to imagine it sleeps 4 unless the fourth is a child on the loveseat. Third spot is a couch (not pull out). The bed was very comfortable! WiFi a bit spotty but easy to remedy and communication was excellent! Our family of two adults and one teen would stay again."
