The hotel in major need of an overhaul. The rooms were clean, but out dated. We were with a large party and one of them had problems with the bathroom door knob and got stuck in the bathroom for a bit of time. The hotel staff was notified and the maintenance man fixed it immediately. The hallway carpets were very... More

Came in late; they allowed our pets which was good for an usually cold May night. Breakfast ended too early for us to get any. Because we arrived after 1:00 we did not get up in time to eat. Breakfast til 10 would have been good. That was the only complaint.

The absolute best thing about this hotel is the staff. The desk clerk was wonderful. The breakfast host was attentive, friendly, and excellent. The bed was comfortable and breakfast was more than rolls, so I don't have room for complaints. In fact, I was so cozy in my bed that I accidentally slept in an extra hour. Another advantage is...

The hotel is clean and the staff is friendly. There Bennigan's attached. Room was clean though a bit outdated. Some rooms face interior with your "window" facing the lobby - noisy. If your looking for a clean moderately priced room by the airport it fits the bill. On the plus side the bed was good quality

This was my first time staying at this motel. I was in Iowa for business and was scheduled to stay there the night before I flew home. The first room they gave me was a room next to the lobby with a window that faced inside the motel which meant I would have to keep my curtain drawn while there.... More

After taking 3 international visitors to the DSM airport at 6am, we found that their flights had been cancelled, and rescheduled for the next day. Needing a place for them to spend the day and night, and wanting a nice restaurant, we stopped at the Best Western Airport Hotel. The staff was most accommodating, they let my guests check in...

I stay here for work and they are always consistently clean. Shuttle drivers are always on time to pick us up/drop off at the airport. Free breakfast is always consistent quality. For better wifi get an even number room. It's on the pool side but closer to the router. The low 200's will get you further away from the pool... More

If your going to be in the Des Moines area I would highly recommend the Magnuson Hotel at 1810 Army Post Road. We were there several weeks and had the pleasure of meeting some of the greatest people the midwest could offer. There shuttle drivers will glide you from the airport or around town. They make fabulous recommendations from the... More

My wife and I stayed one night in Oct 2012. Staff was nice and the hotel was clean. Great pool. The breakfast buffet is at the attached Bennigans and was typical breakfast buffet quality. However, they have an awesome variety of items to choose from. The bed was comfortable and the room clean but our pillows were lumpy and hard... More
