“The room was spotless, comfortable bed and pillows. Service excellent from check in to check out! Bistro server super friendly and attentive! New carpet in room and hallways and the courtyard a nice area to enjoy fresh air and sunshine! Also love no pet hair or barking dogs, sorry you animal lovers. It was a great stay, and a good location. Jeff the GM has managed this property for years, deserves ?.”
“Amazing place for artists and art enthusiasts in the heart of Des Moines. Great place to work or check out the various stores located on the premises. Lovely event center for weddings, small conferences, and other events. Love the vibe of this place!”
“We had a company meeting there yesterday and it was absolutely fantastic! Great amenities and the staff was incredibly attentive and helpful. I hope we get to have all our meetings there.”

“What a fun way to celebrate my daughter's 13th birthday! Two knowledgeable and fun team members from Cirque Wonderland led the instruction and supported all 9 girls as they learned and had fun perfecting different tricks. The place was clean, the environment fun and welcoming and everyone had the best time. Highly recommend for a unique and engaging party!”
“We have hosted the Latino Trade Network Holiday Mixer two years in a row in this beautiful space and absolutely love it. Rachel and her team are very welcoming and communicative to make sure our events are successful. The rustic but chic space elevates your event for great pictures and memories.”
“Saw Patricia Holly Live here for her CD release party and WOW! First of all if you are Gluten-free this is the place for you! I had so many options for drinks and one in tap! I was sooo impressed! The bathrooms are amazing, I love the sinks on the outside. The sound sound system, A/V, and Lightening was so nice! I was super impressed with the space and the staff is sooo friendly! Highly recommend! Looking forward to coming back!”
“It is nice for the little I saw of it. Went to sing-a-long. Just the parking is blah for a place like that... Maybe because I'm used to having parking lots for places that hold events like that. No cell reception but they have wifi access available.”
“We had our wedding at Willow on Grand and could not have asked for a better venue for our day! From the beautiful space to the staff, everything was absolutely wonderful. The venue itself is gorgeous and provided the perfect setting for our wedding!
The team at Willow on Grand was so helpful throughout the planning process and made everything feel seamless on the day of our wedding. They were professional, accommodating, and helped make our day feel exactly how we had envisioned it.
We are so grateful we chose Willow on Grand for our wedding and would highly recommend it to any couple looking for a beautiful, welcoming, and gorgeous wedding venue in Des Moines!”

“Absolutely fantastic!! Beautiful historical building. Events, performances, and performers are outstanding! World-class. Please take in a show, event, a class.. so much is offered!”
“I had an aunt and uncle who lived there. It was a very nice place back in the 70s, but I have to be honest. I have no idea what it looks like now I haven’t been back to Des Moines since 1981.”
“We hosted our company holiday party at the Mansion in January and it was decorated for Christmas which was beautiful. The staff did a nice job with the set-up. We ordered the buffet and there were differing opinions, some thought it was good and others thought the food had no flavor. We had a cash bar and the drinks were expensive, $24 for two small glasses of wine. The staff was friendly and overall it was a good experience.”
“Absolutely amazing in every way from the layout and shape of the golf course along with the spectacular club house that provides plenty of amenities to suit your needs”
“Beautiful hidden gem we found on the internet while shopping for Christmas. Outstanding customer service who went beyond the norm to ensure mom recieved her beautiful earrings. They are stunning in person and reading the back story on the corn used to print the jewlery made it such a unique gift this holiday. Thank you so much for going that extra step. Customer service is beyond 5 stars.”
“I had my wedding and reception at Jasper winery and it was amazing! I would recommend it to anyone looking for an event venue. The staff payed close attention to details and was super helpful and knowledgeable in the planning process!”
“Such a cute store. Loved their selections and the gentleman working was so friendly. The lady never offered to assist us. Anyway we left with many wonderful finds for my soon to be here granddaughter.”
“This beach is the best beach in DM for swimming and outdoor recreation, just don’t use the restrooms when it’s busy! The cleanliness is not good.
Beautiful view of the sunrises or sunsets. Great kayaking, fishing, swimming and there’s a dog park too!”

“This is such a cool venue with so many options! Office party, conference, baby shower or bridal shower, etc. There's a projector for presentations and whatnot. Highly recommend for folks to look into for events!”
“Was looking for original and affordable gifts for the holiday season. I always like to give gifts that are thoughtful and something that a person cant see at one of the big box stores or see someone else owning it. I heard about this boutique and couldn't wait to go see. It didn't dissapoint. The owner greeted me with a smile. This quaint boutique is thoughtfully packed with tons of locally created gems, jewelry, art, food, clothing and more. Its one of the places where you could stand in one spot and just move your head around for several minutes and find so many treasures. Also the creative in me was inspired by so many things. If you are looking for one of kind anniversary, birthday, THANK YOU, thinking of you, just because, or TREAT FOR YOURSELF gift.... XO Studio is a great place to go. You will leave feeling like you paid a fair price and you supported a local artist. ALSO if you know an artist that needs help with marketing, selling and a spot to showcase please check out their website. The owner is a light in this world. I dont know her other than this one encounter but I can tell, you know when you know, that she is someone who lives to serve, teach and help others lights shine!!!!”
“My husband & I had a lot of fun here! It was a first time for the both of us and we really enjoyed it. Price was reasonable. For those wondering, there's 18 holes and each one is different and has its own challenges ?”

“We got a decent suite with a nice view of the water features. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes and pans to use. The pull out bed required us to move the desk in order to fully extend it. The pool had a bunch of hair in it. The free breakfast was acceptable. The hotel was fairly quiet. The bed was okay. I wouldn't pay that much to stay here again, but it was decent overall.”

“First visit tonight. Was a very nice theater experience. Very comfortable seats that recline.
The whole experience was very nice and better than any we've been in before.
Setup was different than we're used to as well. Seems like nicely streamlined too.”
“The facility itself is clean and operational. There is plenty of space for darn near any activity. However, the building is a little dated. It's a fine establishment for an event such as the Book Frstival we attended. Just don't expect an architectural fantasy or any grand splendor.”
“The rooms are sizeable, nice and quiet, fullsize refrigerator, stove burners, no cookware or utensils. The breakfast is limited. The grounds are very nice for sitting outside. I did find it very difficult to teach the front desk on several occasions in my 1 day stay.”

“I really love the Hotel, as a carhauler, it offers everything we need, parking easy to get in and out, my rooms are very clean, beds are comfortable,restaurant inside the hotel staff is very friendly and helpful. Shelley, at the front desk always nice and kind.. Always my hotel of choice.”
“We recently stayed at this Marriott and had the absolute pleasure of being helped by Tyson. From the moment we arrived, he went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional.
He was incredibly friendly, professional, and attentive, and personally arranged a generous upgrade that turned our standard reservation into a true luxury experience. It was clear he’s passionate about delivering outstanding guest service.
Tyson is the kind of employee every Marriott should have — proactive, kind, knowledgeable, and truly dedicated. He made us feel valued and taken care of the entire time. Thanks to him, our stay was memorable for all the right reasons.
If you’re staying at this Marriott, ask for Tyson — you won’t be disappointed. He deserves all the recognition and praise from his leadership for the incredible job he does. Highly recommend this property because of stars like him!”
“We had just stayed at a Hilton Garden Inn the previous night for the same price. Apples to apples Sheraton surpassed that Hilton because of... Pillows, noise level, seating, TV (showed show you were watching and also what was on next!) The only complaint I would have is we asked for 2 more coffees and the front desk clerk said he would send them to our room and we never got them.”
“So I actually stayed here for about 7/8 weeks I believe. Jan to mar 2026 when I moved here recently. Had everything I needed and more than the previous numerous hotels I’d stayed in at a cheaper cost. Had a nice small kitchen, place was clean, heating/ac worked fine. I’ll honestly have fond memories of my time here while I settled in to the city before getting my apartment. The staff were really nice and helpful in any way they could be. I managed through those weeks without a car at that time also and it was useful to have some nearby things like gas station, places to eat at walkable distance and also a bus stop close by, which is only a few minutes walk if you cut through the hotel next door. This hotel was basically my first home after moving to Des Moines. If I have friends or family visit from the uk I’ll happily suggest this place to them.
I’d moved the chair myself to that position since I knew I was going to be there for quite some time. Normally it’s out of the way in the corner.”
“Looks like a decent place to hold events. A little on the older side and the cell service inside was terrible, but it's a serviceable space. Has bathrooms and water fountains.”
