"We booked this hotel on-line and I was beyond pleased with our room and the hotel. I called to get a room by end of hallway due to TKR surgery and service dog to go out. They made sure we had just what I needed. The room was exceptionally clean (and I was Head Housekeeper @ HIE so I like things clean and very maintained. The condition of hotel is great and very clean. Breakfast was delicious and we had a variety of things from waffles to hot food to cereal, fruit, etc. The pool was heated, which made for relaxing swims and the hot tub was nice and hot, like a hot tub should be. Trust me, we've stayed at so many that they're barely luke warm and it's not worth it. They take pride in the upkeep, cleanliness and care of the pool area as well as the hotel itself. We wanted to stay an extra night and the owner personally booked it and gave us a wonderful deal, and he even let me grab a bowl of cereal to take my meds with. The hotel is in a wonderful location with Hy-vee, Fareway, Dollar General, Walmart, Mc.D's, and other food places close by as well as gas stations. Lastly, I'd like to add that I was very happy with the safety of the hotel. Being in a safe place knowing that I don't have to worry about my vehicle or taking my dog out at night is one of my highest priorities. So, if you find yourself needing a place around the Des Moines area, go the little extra and stay in Grimes @ the Red Lion. You won't be disappointed!"

WoodSpring Suites Des Moines Pleasant Hill ★★
"Dive! Worst hotel I’ve stayed ever stayed at. It is BARE bones – no coffeemaker in the room, not even a box of facial tissues. Exterior looks decent, but interior is dirty and not well kept. Beds were uncomfortable with lumpy mattresses. No comfortable place to sit – only chairs were two small hard chairs – no armchair or anything else. No stand to put luggage on. The kitchen is comical – not a single piece of cookware or dishware. Microwave is so small that a tall cup of coffee barely fits in it and only if you take out the plate. Only concessions are old style snack and soda vending machines with cans. No water. If you’re looking for a flop house, this is it."
