Top Nelson Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Premier Des Moines-Ankeny Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and clean! The room was spacious and clean. The bathroom was large and the shower was perfect. Beds were comfy too! Cheaper alternative to staying in Ames for a football game. 💛❤️🏈"

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Updated and clean! Did not get to enjoy the pool/hot tub area but looked nice. Staff friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again if in the area!"

AmericInn by Wyndham Ames

8/10 Good

"Clean, comfortable and easy access to events."

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

10/10 Excellent

"Our party had room in Cottages and a double queen standard room. Suite was massive and loved jacuzzi tub. Pool area and hot tub fantastic other than needing more tables/chairs. They were super busy so that did not help but clearly had room for more. All was clean and staff friendly. Noise kept minimal in rooms considering how booked the hotel was. Would definitely recommend"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good"

Qube Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We were visiting Iowa State University. The hotel was very nice. Access to the University was relatively close."

Spark by Hilton Ames

8/10 Good

"The pool was pretty cold but everything else was great!!!"

Quality Inn & Suites Ames Conference Center Near ISU Campus

8/10 Good

"It’s a 3 star hotel. Don’t expect anything more than that. The room was clean, bathroom was clean, nothing updated. 2 of the lamps in my room didn’t work but I fixed them myself. I’m fine with that. Breakfast was not good. Should’ve just provided coffee and that’s it. Parking lot would be better if they just replaced the crappy asphalt with gravel. Parking lot lighting is not great. I think this was a very nice hotel a few years back but now it’s just a cheap hotel. But I’d stay there again for the night because it’s cheap."

Comfort Inn and Suites Ames near ISU Campus

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel for the stay, happy to stay again."
