Top Woodland Heights Hotel Reviews

Motel 6 West Des Moines, IA

10/10 Excellent

"If you're looking for a comfy spot that's fairly close to a lot, this is it, also price was great"

Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott Des Moines West

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice hotel which cost less than expected considering a more expensive hotel in the same area may not have had much more to offer. We had three bikes with us that they locked up in their conference room right next to the lobby so we didn’t have to lug them up to our room. Very nice."

Drury Inn & Suites West Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Stay here overnight with my husband. We checked in kind of late and had to be let in my the rest attendant since we didnt have a key. That's a safety feature that I appreciated. We got a Jacuzzi room. The room was a good size and very clean. The shower was good, the bed seemed a little hard,but that's just due to my preference. Some people like firmer mattresses. The jacuzzi was a little small for 2 of us, but we made it work. The breakfast was really good, and a lot of seating for everyone. I would definitely recommend this place and would for sure stay here again!"
