Whenever there is some sort of major event in Des Moines, prepare yourself for sticker shock as the prices for hotels double, and even then most are sold out. Somehow I cannot justify paying $200/night for a hotel room that was under $100 the day before so I did a little checking online and was delighted to find this hotel in nearby Ankeny. I have never stayed at a WoodSpring Suites before but the price was right & the reviews were decent so I made my reservation, sight unseen. Tina at the front desk was friendly, efficient & welcoming, with a kind word for everyone that came through the lobby. Room had kind of a Motel 6 vibe, minimalistic & basic, perhaps a bit austere but clean. Kitchenette unit w/apartment size 3/4 fridge & freezer, microwave & 2 burner elec stove but be prepared to bring your own utensils, dishes & cookware, paper towels, dish soap, etc if you plan to do any cooking en suite. Not much counter space in the bathroom but it was clean. Towels & bed linens decent, bed & pillows fairly comfortable. Easily accessible bedside & table/desk outlets for charging electronics. I would have appreciated a table or floor lamp as the overhead lights were a bit harsh but happily the stovetop hood light sufficed. Limited DirecTV programming but I travel with a Roku Firestick & was able to stream Netflix, Prime, YouTube etc & watch my faves via free wifi w/strong signal. Pet friendly. No in-room coffee or continental but you could take yourself out for a proper sit down breakfast with the money you saved by staying here and still come out ahead. Nothing fancy but entirely adequate. I chuckled to myself as I realized how spoiled I had become, accustomed to more upscale lodging. Under the circumstances, I was grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again but if you have any doubts, ask to see your room beforehand to make sure it will fit your needs.

I realize this is an extended stay but its pretty run down and furnishings are not very nice. Not even a comfortable chair to sit in. I stayed a month at this location about 10 years ago and it was much nicer back than.

Is a good place

Good deal

Trash They don't have dumpsters anywhere in the area we sat out trash outside of the door and they kept my deposit because they said I violated the terms by leaving it there when I don't know where they were expecting it to go

I have stayed at woodspring suites at least three times this year. My stay there has always been very comfortable. In May of 2024, I rented rooms for myself, and for my daughter's family and my son-in-law's family. We all stayed a total of about 5 days. We were on vacation and used the hotel as a home base during our traveling. The staff at the hotel was very nice and very accommodating. One staff member in particular Rhiannon Ortega was very helpful. If we had any questions concerning the hotel, she helped us, and make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. And when we were looking for things to do she showed us some attractions that were nearby and suggested a few other places that we might enjoy visiting. All in all are stay at your hotel was very nice and comfortable. I have recommended your hotel to other family and friends. The staff there is very nice, helpful and friendly. The rooms are very clean, and if you needed anything further the staff was very accommodating. I will definitely be coming back when I booked my next trip.

The hotel is clean and neat, And the location is good. But what makes this hotel a place I want to be is the friendliness and welcoming feeling I get from some members of the staff who go out of their way to make me feel at home. Rhea, An exceptional staff member is why I have returned for years. I often arrive after hours, yet she greets me with a smile and offer to help however needed. She has come to adjust my t.v. late in the evening as well as many other instances of kindness which go way beyond what one would expect at a hotel! If you want to Stay at a comfortable, clean hotel where you are made to feel like family, I would recommend woodspring suites In ankeny iows.

Nothing unique ok stay a little noisy

I could hear something crawling on my floor all night and the only switch to turn the light on was by the door.

the rooms are smelly

Very good!

Excellent stay

The bed is brand new, and the pillows are the best I have seen in a hotel. Tina at the front desk is super efficient and very helpful. Check in was speedy, no issues. Housekeeping is top notch and the crew very friendly. They take pride in the property. Thank you Tina and the whole team at Woodspring Suites!

My husband is a full time musician and we spend most of the year traveling around the Midwest and living in and out of Hotels and this is by far the best one yet! A few months back I was diagnosed with a life threatening health condition and needed major surgery and had to have several appointments in Iowa City. Since my husband is from Ankeny we decided to stay at a hotel in Ankeny while I received medical treatments! The staff at WoodSprings Suites was amazing since the moment we walked in the door! The rooms are clean, everyone is so accommodating, it’s quiet, and it truly makes me feel safe and comfortable especially while recovering from such a scary medical procedure. It really has become “home away from home” The best part is Rhia! She is so friendly and professional and is always willing and eager to help! You don’t get treated like a customer here, you get treated like family!!!
