Hotels With spa in Iowa, United States

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!

Very convenient location, just 1.5 from the airport and the rental car return. I wasn't able to evaluate the breakfast because my flight was very early, but I could see the preparation of it, and it looked nice. TV in the room has youtube,which is great to sign to your account and watch your favorite videos. It was a bit hot outside the room, and the hotel smelled like a barn, but the room was cleean and smelled better. There is a gas station with a big store right at the hotel location where you can fuel your rental before the return as well as get food and drink

Good location in the downtown, near restaurants, bars, waterfront parks and other attractions. Reasonable pricing. Easy booking. Very nice bed, bedding, shower & sprayer, bath tub, toliet and bathroom well stocked with supplies. Kureg Coffee Maker & coffee and botted water supplied. The rooftop level has large indoor bar, tables and couches. There is also a large outdoor area with tables and seating. Both indoor and outdoor areas on rooftop were packed on the Sat evening in mid-May when I stayed there.

We had an issue with our toilet leaking and they happily let us change to another room. Then we realized that night when preparing for bed that my husband forgot his sleep shorts in the old room. The next morning he saw a cleaning woman and she gladly let him back into the old room to retrieve the shorts! Always a friendly staff and enjoy meeting new people in the pool and hottub. Love the breakfast and the attached restaurant!

The bathroom fan didn’t work so lord blessed us all when someone took a poo poo. The furnace wasn’t working my spouse was cold and we cranked that thing up to 75 to warm the room up but just didn’t warm up. I guess when you spend that kind of money for a room and they pride themselves on being a high end resort they would have stuff working. Prolly go someone where else next.

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.

We stayed in more than 10 hotels in our cross country trip and this hotel was by far the best place we stayed. The room was spacious, the amenities were great, but most of all the staff was helpful and offered wonderful guest service.

I’ve never been to a hotsl with no elevators. We helped a family with a stroller and 2 kids get down the stairs, plus my elderly friends parents. Who struggled to get up and down the stairs.

Well had dirty towels in our room garbage in baskets which weren't from me, a bed that didn't look like it was changed, and the potatoes Saturday morning were cold and undercooked
