Hotels with Pools in Polk County

We were in Ankeny for a family wedding and spent the night at the Staybridge, The room and public areas were all immaculate. The receptionist was very engaging and helpful and we couldn't be happier with our choice.

My wife and I stayed at Drury Inn in Des Moines for one night. The hotel was awesome and everything about it was what we hope for in a hotel stay. Our room was clean, spacious, and quiet. The hotel staff were kind, courteous, and helpful. Even though we did not use it we also received a drink card for three free drinks each. There was also free hot popcorn available for part of our stay as well.

The staff was so friendly! We had a bit of miscommunication between the hotel and trip.com regarding payment, but they got it worked out quickly and the staff were quick to make things right for us! We enjoyed both the hot tub & pool and both were exactly what we needed!! The hotel was far enough from downtown to be peaceful but close enough that everything was accessible. The biggest thing that stood out was how accommodating the staff were. Absolutely recommend.

Was an all round good stay. Bed was a lot more comfortable that I expected. I didn’t have breakfast but my girlfriend did, and said it was a nice enjoyable breakfast. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent service from Tracey and her team. She was so kind, helpful and friendly. All staffs at the reception was so welcoming. Rooms were clean and beautifully decorated. Beds were so comfy and had a good night sleep. Breakfast was delicious with variety of choices. We wished to have stayed here longer but had to catch a flight the next day. Definitely returning in the future. Highly recommend to everyone visiting Des Moines. Thanks to every staffs for making our stay amazing!!

We met our friends here for the weekend. Hotel was clean with nice amenities! It was in a great location for walking around downtown. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area! We’ll definitely be back!

Good price, very nice room! Amazing breakfast buffet! Fabulous mattresses--semi-firm but with a thick smushy layer on top. I'm verrry picky about hotel mattresses. This stay will bring me back!

American hotels don't have so much decoration, but they are simple and clean. The surrounding environment is average, but it is quiet and convenient for parking.

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!

In thrbmiddle of nowhere really but clean! Good people. I'd Def do it again
