Baymont by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

My husband and I just had a two night stay at this hotel. Our expectations were exceeded in every aspect. The room was large and clean. The beds were so comfortable. The breakfast area was wonderful and the free breakfast offered delicious and varied items for breakfast. Eggs, bacon, sausages, oatmeal, fruit, cereal, bagels, waffles, etc. The pool,, hot tub, and sauna were absolutely wonderful. Perfect temperature for each of them. Laundry was also available. The staff we dealt with were lovely, efficient and knowledgeable. Our experience with the shuttle going to and from the airport was wonderful. This hotel is a class act and you won't regret choosing it for your stay in Des Moines ... whether it be long or short.

Staff were friendly. Breakfast was amazing. Beds were comfy. Location was great. I saw a complaint about the trucking students- they were definitely around (especially hanging out in the pool area) but were friendly and not bothersome at all. I appreciated the dehumidifier in our room and it was definitely needed as we emptied it 3 times in 2 days.

My son-in-law took me to the hotel. He had seen it years ago and was overwhelmed at how awesome it is now. Everything was immaculate. The breakfast was awesome too: hot biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, eggs, cereals, pastries, and that was just what I saw. Then... I told, James, the cook who was on the spot in the dining room to oversee everyone's needs and wants, that those biscuits and gravy were great and I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast. And James is also the shuttle driver and picked me up at 4:00 a.m. and took me to the airport. Wonderful guy. The whole staff went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed. The pool was big, the game room was very nice, the rooms for meetings, weddings, etc. were all well-appointed. Enough said! Oops, the "shower power" sold it too. Awesome.

The staff were excellent. We arrived early and needed to store our luggage, while we returned our hire car. The staff helped us store it in a secure room. We were allowed to wait in the Inn, after we returned from lunch with friends and it was still too early for check in. The room was spacious. The shower was hot. It had an elevator and a snack shop. The Inn had many facilities, which we could have used: spa/ swimming pool, rec rom, exercise room. It was also quiet. They had a free shuttle bus to and from the airport - on the hour.

Solid facility with well-trained and competent staff. Bonus that it is adjacent to headquarters of a respected truck line in DSM. [Yes, their trucker's behavior is noted at such facilities, and misbehavior is not acceptable. Company rules.] As a result, the symbiotic relationship benefits all. Including us who fill out the rooms available. Points added for refillable soap and consumables containers. Breakfast steward highly professional.
