The hype
Staff is consistently praised as friendly and helpful, but the property is showing its age despite a 2018 renovation.
Sheraton West Des Moines
$108-169 / đêm
Đặt phòng nếu You're a Marriott loyalist needing a reliable suburban base near Jordan Creek or a family who wants a pool weekend without the waterpark chaos.
Tại Sao Mọi Người Yêu Thích Nó
- Atrium-style indoor pool that feels like a mini-vacation
- Reliable shuttle service to Des Moines International Airport (DSM)
- Proximity to Jordan Creek Town Center for premier shopping and dining
Tóm tắt nhanh: A solid, if slightly aging, suburban atrium hotel that delivers on the basics but struggles with noise and a lackluster Club Lounge.
Được đánh giá bởi @explorer: I stopped here on my way through Iowa and it was exactly what I needed. The room was cute and clean, but the best part was spotting that sushi place across the street again—I ate there a year ago and it’s still great. Perfect for a stress-free layover.

- Odors & scents: Generally fresh, but 'musty' smells in the atrium or older carpeted rooms crop up in reviews.

Mẹo Nội Tại
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast and drive 5 mins to 'La Barista' for a local favorite coffee and burrito.
- ✨
The 'waterfall' in the atrium is visually nice but contributes to the white noise—ask for a room where you can't hear it if you prefer silence.
- ✨
There is a 'satellite' parking garage nearby if the main lot fills up, which happens during events.
5 điều cần biết trước khi bạn đi
💡The 'Club Lounge' is often dry—no beer or wine during happy hour, which shocks many elite members.
💡The atrium design means cooking smells from the open restaurant can sometimes drift up to the balconies.
💡Housekeeping is sometimes 'on request' only—verify at check-in if you want daily service.
💡The hotel was cited for minor water temp violations in 2025, but is NOT the 'rodent-infested' hotel often confused with it in local news.
💡You are a stone's throw from 'Goldie's Bar & Grill'—go there for the best Iowa Pork Tenderloin sandwich of your life.
