Top Big Creek Wildlife Management Area Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Road

10/10 Excellent

"Everything and everyone were very good Breakfast was excellent Staff were very nice"

GrandStay Hotel & Suites

8/10 Good

"Most of the property was clean, outside of our shower curtain having some spots that weren't ideal. Common areas were clean. Front desk staff were about 50/50 on friendliness/helpfulness - nobody was rude but not all seemed overly welcoming. Breakfast on our last day, there were lots of things empty when we arrived at breakfast 30 minutes before it closed, which was a bummer. Overall, it was a pleasant experience. We really liked that the pool was open until midnight."
