I had a very mixed experience with the Best Western Airport Hotel in Des Moines. Although my room was comfortable and quiet (and I attribute the quiet entirely to an almost-empty hotel), and the amenities (fridge and microwave, iron/ironing board) were helpful and well-maintained, I can't help but think that my room had not been rented for a while... or... more

I visited this hotel last year and honestly was not looking forward to going back. However, I was very pleased! They are under new management and have put a lot of effort into it. The room was very comfortable. I ate at the Bennigan's in the hotel and it was excellent. The staff in both areas was friendly and helpful.... more

I stayed with a large group of friends. The hotel smelled of mold, there were dark spots on the wallpaper not only in the rooms but in the hallways. Mold will make you sick, so why is this allowed in a hotel? more

The walls were so thin,I could hear the neighbor's coughing most of the night, I think I got fleas or bed bug bite also, I was itchy after my night there. Like the hot buffet breakfast & the free wireless internet connection. more

This is the second time we've stayed at this hotel for a soccer tournament held every year in April. According to the property layout on the back of the door, there are a few larger rooms, but most are tiny. Last weekend we had 3 people in a tiny room and for the price I paid it was not pleasant.... more

We stayed at the Des Moines Airport Best Western after a long day at the Iowa State Fair. We were very pleased with our stay. The check in was quick and courteous. Our room (a king single) was average size, but had a microwave/mini-fridge combo hidden in an armoire. The bed had nice linens (that didn't look like the typical... more

We stayed here as guests of a wedding. We had a second floor room and had to hike quite a ways just to get to the elevator & then had to hike quite a ways more to get to our room. There were rooms that were even farther, and I couldn't imagine the walk that those took! Really - unbelievable... more

My room had a strong and pervasive odor of glue, plastic, or something like that. Could be be because of remodeling going on? I heard another guest complaining of same smell. The bed was great, but the bathroom could use some help--stains in bottom of tub; outlets didn't work. Walls are thin and I was repeatedly woken up by activity... more

First of all, this hotel looks very old and worn from the outside. But our room was very nice. My husband commented, "Whoa! I didn't expect our room to look like this." It was large, clean and comfortable. The pool area was also very large and nice. The hotel is in a great location if you are using the airport,... more
