Holiday Inn Express & Suites Urbandale des Moines

We stayed here at the end of a 10-day road trip that included six other hotels. We were impressed with this hotel on all fronts. The room was not just clean but immaculate and so spacious. The bed was extremely comfortable. The breakfast had a wide variety of options. The staff was friendly. Location was convenient and price was fair for what it offered. Highly recommend!

You don't need much else when you stay here. The rooms are nice and clean, AC works great. It seems like Holiday Inn Express rushes jobs when putting together the rooms/bathrooms, though. You'll notice things look not QUITE put together 100%, but the room itself is nice. A nice gathering area with lots of places to sit out by the breakfast area/lobby.

We were very satisfied with our stay here. Clean and comfortable. The rooms are huge and very spacious and clean. Comfortable king bed and pillows! Appreciated the soap and shampoo dispensers in the shower and at the bathroom sink. Good hot breakfast options. Nice pool/hot tub alhough we didnt get to use due to pool closed for weather conditions. We will look forward to staying again!

The bed was very comfortable. Nice pillows. The room was roomy. We liked the bathroom. The only negative was we thought we were told breakfast was available until 10:30. We went at 9:45 and it was cleared away because it actually ended at 9:30. We would stay here again.

Went to Des Moines from Minneapolis on a whim due to our daughter having a few days off from school. We stayed three nights. Overall this was a good stay. The rooms look to be recently renovated. There was plenty of storage in our two queen bed room and a nice place to keep luggage off the ground. I enjoyed the separate coffee bar that also had a fridge and microwave. The bathroom was clean. Breakfast is fairly good. They do offer some hot items, mainly eggs and sausage. They have more items on the weekends. There is a pancake maker, cereal, bread, bagels, muffins, oatmeal and warm cinnamon rolls. The fitness center is well equipped. My daughter enjoyed the pool immensely. It is not huge, but did the job and the pool towels were mostly well stocked. Hot tub is kind of small. Had some interesting experiences with one of the elevators when it became off balance due to kids jumping in it. The doors would only open on the ground floor. Thankfully the issue appears to be fixed. There are several restaurants within walking distance: Ruby Tuesday, Arby’s, Pizza Ranch, Culver’s, the Beerhouse. Overall, this was a nice, affordable stay in the Des Moines area.

I highly recommend this hotel to family and business travelers alike. Clean, well-maintained property with friendly and professional staff. Other than WFi connectivity issues, this was an absolute 1st choice for comfort and relaxation for road-weary travelers. The mattress was by far the most comfortable to sleep on.

Traveller from the UK staying here whilst visiting family. The hotel is very easy to find being close to the I35/I80 highways. There are fuel stations and other shops/stores nearby. Several restaurants within easy walking distance. Spacious, clean room with controllable ventilation. Comfy bed. Fridge and Microwave. Basic breakfast had good choices. Large car park. Pleasant staff. Decent sized pool. Hot tub was a bit tired but functioned OK. Good wi-fi everywhere. Would recommend this hotel.

This motel was such a treat! Excellent desk personnel had us checked in within five minutes and later asked how our accommodations were. It is obvious that management cares about keeping up the property. The lobby is simple but lovely. Everything is in good working order in our room. The arrangement of the room is efficient and attractive. The price was very fair. We highly recommend this place!

We rode 12 hours and were worn out. Joan took one look at us and said “you need an upgrade “. She put us in a fabulous room that made our day. She definitely went out of her way to make us feel welcome We will definitely stay here next time we are passing through
