Staybridge Suites West Des Moines, an IHG Hotel

Unfortunately there was a traveling little league team staying there. Kids were running up and down the halls. Playing catch in the halls and having a blast in the pool. There was pool water everywhere including the elevator. I don't blame the kids, they did quite down around 10:00pm.

Very friendly staff and nice big clean rooms. We are traveling with two young kids and a large dog. We were all very comfortable and happy as this hotel. We already booked our stay there on our trip home. It is an older hotel but again clean rooms. Also, since older I believe it helped with noise. Never heard anyone else the whole time.

The website said nothing of remodeling which dampened our trip due to not being able to utilize the swimming pool. That was the highlight for the kids to travel.

I stay in West Des Moines frequently with my family. I prefer to have a full kitchen for convenience with my kids. The staff here were so friendly and by far the best experience we've had compared to other hotels. This would be 5 stars across the board with the exception of our room was quite dated and needed many updates (broken tiles in bathtub surround, ceiling was just bad and needed to be scraped and redone, patching on the walls and the kitchen was in need of an update) I was a little disappointed that our room did not have the little bar with seating, but we made it work. We had a suite with 2 queen beds. Breakfast was good, staff was excellent. It was very clean. A few updates to this hotel and it will be my first choice! -Also, They are in the process of renovating the lobby and hot tub. Pool was open, but also needed a bit of work.

Overall great hotel for a decent price as a family of 5. Breakfast wasn't as good as we had hoped.
