Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

10/10 Excellent
"Cheerfully greeted upon our arrival. We did not use any amenities in the building, as stayed there prior to an early flight out. We did utilize the airport shuttle as we parked in the hotel lot, for a daily fee. We were provided coffee even at 3 AM, and also upon our return. Would definitely stay there again, whether going to the airport or just visiting the city."
