I would give the Staybridge in Des Moines, Iowa a five star review! BARRY at the front desk is very welcoming and so beyond helpful! He was so cheerful and after a long day of driving it definitely made our day better!
Room/overall hotel is very clean! Pool area is spotless! Definitely would recommend this hotel to anyone passing through. Also in a very nice area.

I have stayed at other WDM hotels, but I keep coming back here. I think you get the most for your $$$ and it is a pretty nice property and in a good location and the noise is next to non existent. My only grievance is with IHG Hotels, which is the chain Staybridge belongs too. They suck compared to being a frequent traveler with Marriott or Hilton.
Heading home from a long trip and we had reservations at the hotel. We arrived at 9pm. With dog in tow. The gentleman at the desk seemed a little annoyed that he had to do something. The room itself was small. We had a hard time finding a spot for the dog bed due to the fact there wasn’t that much open floor space. There was a full size fridge and kitchen and the room was clean and the bed was comfortable.we would stay there again if the need arised

Javier was exceptional at check in. Brian was very helpful and Angie made me feel welcome as well. In fact the entire staff was very accommodating. In fact, I have recommended the hotel to friends visiting Des Moines soon. Thanks for such a great place to stay. You are excellent, clean and convenient to groceries and restaurants. I plan to return and highly recommended this hotel.
I stayed with my family and our two small dogs. We came to the hotel after having an absolutely horrible check-in experience at another hotel down the road in Clive (see my other reviews for that one to avoid), which caused us to leave and find another hotel. I walked in without a reservation and was able to find a perfect king room with a pullout that would fit my family. I told my story of woe from the other hotel and the front desk clerk couldn't be more understanding and apologetic for our experience at another hotel. She could sense my frustration and disappointment and worked extremely hard to make us feel very welcomed and valued at the hotel. She took was was turning out to be a horrible night and turned it right around. The hotel was clean, pet friendly, and conveniently located. There was a large family reunion being held at the hotel while we were there and when I say large, I mean large. It stretched the capacity of the breakfast area, but it is large and the staff was working hard to keep all the breakfast options hot and refilled. My hats off to them for how they handled the number of guests eating breakfast at one time. We would definitely stay there again.
Eric,
Thank you for taking the time to review your stay with us. I am pleased to hear that Chelsey was very accommodating when you came to check in. I am glad that you found the hotel to be clean, comfortable and accommodating for you and your family (pets included). I am glad that we were able to take a negative experience and turn it around for you. I hope that you choose to stay with us again the next time you are in the area.
Sincerely,
Stephen Waugh
Assistant General Manager
