“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.”
“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!”
“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”

“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!”
“Beautiful venue for my son's wedding and just the right size for their guest list under 100. Great view of the lake from the patio. Kitchen has a huge frig/freezer for storage of food, but the space is not meant for any food prep or cleanup. Just a small sink for washing your hands. Very friendly morning staff, showed my granddaughter their education room with live animals.”
“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!!!!”

“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 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.”
“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.”
“Our baseball team stayed at the Marriott West Des Moines this past weekend, and we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. The front desk staff—especially the manager—were incredibly attentive and welcoming, making check-in smooth and stress-free. The hotel itself was very clean, and housekeeping did a great job throughout our stay. They went above and beyond to accommodate our group’s needs, and we truly appreciated the hospitality. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to other teams or travelers in the area!”
“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.”
“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.”
