Ramada Hotel Des Moines Airport

The hotel has improved dramatically from what it was several years ago(totally different owners/name) The pool area very beautiful & big, rooms were clean & comfortable. The Mexican restaurant attached was amazing, & staff were super nice. I’m giving all 5 b/c they must have improved since prior reviews were written. If I had read them I honestly wouldn’t have stayed.

Had a great time some friends and myself had a girls night perfect place to do so clean friendly staff and very quiet considering we stayed on a friday nught hotel was booked full but plenty room for everyone staff was more then help full reservation wasnt made by me some friends choice it but defintly was a good one been to some other ramada loctions and this one by far the best experience!! Alot people have bad vist because of theyself simple follow rules be clean and respectful you will have a great time

Location is absolutely amazing if you’re flying into Des Moines. You could probably walk to it tho it would be kinda far to drag luggage. There’s a few gas stations fairly close as well. The rooms aren’t in tip top shape but I’m used to Hilton quality too. The price is very reasonable I thought. Breakfast was better than the worst hotel breakfast I’ve seen. Overall it’s an ok hotel experience that feels much better considering the price.

Even though I only stayed for 1 day this hotel is nice, management is very helpful too. If I’m ever back to Des Moines I will definitely stay here.

Staff was very friendly and the rooms were really nice! We liked the pool but stairs were pretty slippery. We fell twice getting in and out, so my butt is a little sore lol

I really enjoy all the employees there all very nice. Beds are comfortable rooms clean I see they are in the middle of Maintenance and Repairs. So they are trying to keep up.

Room has refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and a few basic toiletries. I really liked the soap, it smelled wonderful. Very comfortable to come back and take a nice long nap after an outpatient procedure.

The room was clean and comfortable. The fitness room was well-equipped and well-kept. The swimming pool area was clean, and the temperature was kept at a comfortable level. Breakfast was of a good quality and offered a variety of options.

The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Excellent service and upkeep. Excellent location.

My overall experience was pleasant, and will definitely visit again.

Excellent experience. Thank you to Arsh and the team for their excellent service!

Older hotel but very very clean. Bbq restaurant that is hocked to it was very good. Breakfast included your basic free breakfast but its food. I definitely recommend for the price.

This is a nice hotel and very affordable. Decent breakfast and pool. Pet friendly.

AA cancelled our flight after boarding due to some technical reason and rescheduled for the next day flight & then put us on this hotel for overnight stay along with a 12 dollar meal coupon.

They arranged for a shuttle to transit at this hotel which is close to the airport.

The hotel is convenient, the room was self contained and a complimentary breakfast between 6 AM to 9 AM was available.

A good parking space with their Mexican hotel adjacent gives comfort.

Nothing to complain about.

The people checking in were nice. The breakfast had bisque and gravy. The sheets were half on the bed. Some of the towels were stained. There is a huge field behind the hotel if you are traveling with a pet. There is a $20 pet fee. You are right next to the airpot. Where I stay there was a funky odor coming from somewhere. My room was missing a chair to work at the desk.

Solid hotel choice. Super close to airport, dining, entertainment, shopping.



Big pool area. Work out room. Business center. Conference rooms all on site.



Gorgeous lobby/entry. Rooms have been updated a bit and are comfortable. Basic breakfast included.



Around $100/night for a room. The restaurant on site is closed darn it. Fridges, microwave, TV, coffee maker, hair dryer, toiletries all in room.

Staff is very nice and helpful! Great service. Got us to the airport on time! The bad part was that the walls of our room were so thin, we could hear the people clearing their throats in the next room as well as everything that they were saying and doing! The man must have had sinus issues because he was very noisy all night! We slept so poorly because of the thin walls.

Was nice hotel! Lost my way in the halls a couple of times. Room was clean. Noticed the pool had hairs floating in it once we got in. A night away from home without the kids to relax was looking forward to the pool and did not get to enjoy the pool.

Very reasonably priced. Allows dogs for small fee, room was very nice. Even had microwave and fridge.

From the moment you walk through the door the lobby is very welcoming. Very close to airport.

Excellent stay .very good service and good response from customer service. Neat and clean room in good Price

The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The room, and rest of the hotel, was very, very clean. The pool area is wonderful and the restaurant attached is delicious!

Very beautiful place but the ice machine didnt work. Not happy about that but over all very nice place.

Loved staying here we went for a birthday party and I must say Ericka Mitchell did such a amazing job checking my family in above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed for the room and just wanted to make sure we had a great stay great worker u got on ur hands there

Beautiful best hotel very flashy love the red coloring is lovely, would recommend this place for weddings etc...

The shuttle service was timely, quick, convenient and handled with care. I was overall satisfied with service. The driver was able to pick me up within 15 mins as he promised on the phone. It was a pleasant experience talking with the driver on the way to the parking lot. Keep up the good work!

A nice convenient hotel with a park-sleep-fly service. They long term park your car and have a free shuttle service to take you to the airport. We found our stay to be quiet and comfortable. Shower good and clean. Desk personel friendly and helpful.

nice place to stay. quiet and they have nice hot breakfast. i would recommend to my friends to come here and I will definitely come here again.

We simply used them for a long term parking choice. But the gal who drove us was so sweet and very nice. Their prices were much better than everywhere else, too.

The place was very clean and staff very helpful. The only bad side was the AC being shut off and the room hot when we arrived, 90+° day out. Got in the pool for an hour and the room was then bearable. Great continental breakfast in the morning.

VERY friendly staff, the rooms are very beautiful and look modern and the atmosphere here is very welcoming, they also have a variety of breakfast options in the morning and a really nice swimming pool! Will definitely be staying here again ^^

breakfast was so good and delicious. lobby looks so great. front desk guys were so helpful. i definitely visit there again.

Rooms are a toich dated and need more than a quick paint coat, but the owners are working at it. The on site Mexican resteraunt is convenient. Not bad for a night before flying out or a quick weekend. The gym is smaller and the pool area is not really inviting, but kids will play in water in an alley.

My daughter and I had a good stay here. The pool is the PERFECT temp and depth for us. The beds were so comfortable. They are located next the airport but we didn't here any aircraft. When we come back to Des Moines we will gladly stay again.

I was so impressed with the entire experience at the Ramada. When we checked in, we were asked if we needed airport shuttle and scheduled that right away. I asked if I could drop my car off at the airport tonight and be picked up to be brought back to the hotel, they enthusiastically said "of course!". We didn't wait long when we did call to be picked up; the driver, Don, was so friendly. I appreciated that he interacted with my kids - after a long day of traveling, and as a single mom, it was nice to have another person to help keep them engaged.



The beds were super comfy, we were lucky enough to have the pool to ourselves, we got to watch boxers training for a convention. Everything was a great way to wrap up a long week. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to staying again!

Both front desk hosts, day n night, offer politeness and helpful info to meet make your stay enjoyable. But, do not have transport anywhere but the airport only.

It was freshly remodeled. It had really good service. They have a really good pool. The restaurant with some are really kind and let us look at their smokers. They have good airport service when they drive you there and back. even if you come and on your way back

Facilities are good. The front desk staff is the best. The AC works great. Breakfast, beds and linens are great. Great value for your money. Great access to everything.

The building itself is nice but that is not what made this place awesome in my opinion.



I can not say enough nice things about the staff of this hotel. We had a very large group staying there and they treated us so well. They went out of their way to make sure that we had a great experience. What wonderful people!!! If we are ever back in the area we will not stay anywhere else.

Nice place and budget priced. Kids enjoyed watching the airplanes take off and fly over the hotel.

Very nice and clean facility. Nice updated rooms. Staff is very friendly, we stayed with family and it's perfect place for family get together. We definitely will stay here again.

The people were extremely helpful and excellent with their service. The Fitness facilities and pool were excellent for all my workouts and my families leisure time. The shuttle service was great willing to take us back and fourth no problem.

The hotel is comfortable. The staff are very kind and attentive. You can't beat the pricing for a clean hotel near the airport. I would recommend this hotel and I would stay there again.

Liked Big Al's Barbeque. Especially when it's raining out.

We had a very great experience here while we came for a wrestling tournament. We had no transportation to get to the store for supplies for our teams and the hotel manager (Dipak) very graciously drove us in his personal vehicle. He went out of his way to make sure we were taken care of even though we had a rowdy bunch. Very friendly staff. We will be coming back here next time we are in Des Moines.

nice place to stay. very close tot he airport and quick shuttle service. i would stay there again.

One of the best and cleanest hotels I've stayed at. The staff is great and extremely helpful. Will totally recommend to everyone

My family was on a road trip and we stayed at this Ramada, which was close to the airport. We never heard a plane or noise from other guests! The pool area was beautiful as was the lobby! We will definitely stay here again.

It was nice place to stay. clean rooms. Friendly front desk. Great breakfast. large pool. New in Des Moines so feel welcoming . Near to airport. Amazing lobby with welcoming greet , fast checking with polite.

great place to stay. front desk guy was so nice. rom ware amazingly clean and smell so nice.

It was peaceful and I loved the style of the room.... Had no problems



Would like to say that the ceiling was leaking in the living room area of the room



But other then that I really enjoyed my stay
