Top Gray’s Lake Park Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"It was a simple clean hotel and room, close to the airport. There was only one place within walking distance to eat. Over all it was a nice place to stay."

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Checking in was a challenge because there were several people gathered around the couch and tv in the lobby who were very loud and noisy. It made it very hard to hear what the receptionist was asking me. Maybe having a couch there isn’t the best idea because it invites groups to gather there."

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Des Moines Downtown by IHG

8/10 Good

"Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Unfortunately they were doing maintenance on the outside so we were not able to use the hot tub. Nice hotel and friendly people. The shuttles guys were very helpful also."

Surety Hotel, Autograph Collection

10/10 Excellent

"What an amazing downtown hotel! We had a beautiful corner room on the 10th floor and absolutely loved our stay. The historic charm and attention to detail throughout the entire hotel were incredible. Everywhere we looked, there was something unique to admire. We only stayed for one night, but we truly wished we could have stayed longer! The hotel offers fantastic amenities and is within walking distance of so many wonderful restaurants. Valet parking was a great convenience, and every staff member we encountered was courteous, welcoming, and friendly. We had such a wonderful experience and will definitely be back for another visit. Highly recommend!"
