Johnston Hotel Guide - Hotels with Spa in Johnston, Des Moines

"I've been doing a cross country road trip once a year for the last three years and this is the nicest convenient hotel (right off a freeway) I've stayed in. It seemed very new, though I was told it's 20 years old. It had a recent update, though, and everything felt fresh. The room was very large, had plank flooring (so appreciated), and was incredibly stylish for a place that falls in the budget hotel spectrum. The lights (I counted four different kinds of lamps) were especially attractive. You might say "who cares?" but it makes a difference to me. I like pretty things. Also liked the room-length counter along one wall---plenty of room for all our stuff (and there's a lot thanks to traveling with a dog and having to eat in room). The bathroom is also roomy, with plenty of counter space and the bed was the most comfortable of my trip (four different hotels). There are several dining options within walking distance and a nice long, safe sidewalk on the street so you can take your dog (or yourself) for a real walk. The dog fee is $50 which is pretty average these days. Breakfast is not included, but I find the offerings of most hotels pretty unappealing and unhealthy anyway, so didn't care. There was free coffee and tea though. I'm hoping this is typical of Hilton Garden Inns, as I will definitely try them again. "

"Room was nice and clean. Buffet breakfast was good."

"The property is clean. I love the woodsy logged look. Smelled clean and the front desk staff was courteous. The room I had was spacious and even had a massage chair which believe me I took the liberty of using. It is very quiet. I didn't hear a peep. The main building has a pool and Sauna. You get a decent free breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. "

"Will DEFINITELY stay there again!!! Very clean, the property was "kept up", no visible signs of disrepair. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was very good and they kept it replenished. Check out wasn't until Noon (very convenient)."

"Always clean! "
