Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport
Clean room, friendly staff, so-so breakfast with very limited offerings. Very convenient to the airport, Gray’s Park, Blank Park Zoo, and easy access to downtown.

Everything was great, cleanliness, beautiful property. The breakfast was out of quite a few options and the coffee wasn’t working. But everything else was great!
