GrandStay Hotel & Suites

Top 5 hotel I've ever stayed in! Highly recommend. We stayed to travel to the state fair & it worked so great to be 20 mins away but good priced & great location. Will definitely be back.

The hotel is new, and very clean. We were very pleased with our stay. Ty was very helpful checking in as we had a wedding to get ready for and he allowed us to check in early even though they don't normally allow that.

Will definitely come back. Right across from city hall. Hotel only a couple years old. Bed was great and breakfast was good. As a family with tall people the shower head was perfect height. Also for a person with long hair, the shower had great pressure, I didn't have to spend 20 minutes rinsing my hair. . Big thank you to Chruis for helping us out a few days before. You can tell the employees care. The person making breakfast was helpful and cheery. Convenient location, good spot between downtown, Jordan Creek and ankeny

Great stay for the AAU Junior Olympics

John was very helpful allowing us to leave our e-bikes in a safe place while we were away. Thanks!

Very nice hotel in a very safe location. Very polite staff.

This is a modern, bright, well maintained hotel with a very nice pool and a gigantic hot tub. The breakfast was one of the better ones I have had. The price for the stay was very reasonable and much cheaper than the hotels closer to Des Moines. A wonderful stay.

No power. No discounts

Hot tub and pool were the perfect temperatures. We didn't get to have breakfast due to a power outage at 8am, so that was sad, but all else was fine.

Friendly staffs. Check in and out easily. Room was clean. Beds were comfortable. We only stay for one night after been exhausted with Iowa State Fair.

New, nice, clean hotel. Comfortable. Many restaurants near by. Staff were helpful.

The directions used on Expedia did not take me directly to the location but the staff were awesome and the room was clean and tidy

Hotel overall was clean and has plenty of parking.

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.

The stay was nice but the breakfast was very slow as far as waiting for food to be ready.

Clean room Friendly staff

Tv didn’t work for 2 nights and no one really helped. Unloading a truck during busy breakfast time so no food except cereal and no coffee because they were too busy unloading a truck instead of helping guests.

Hottub and pool were a hit with my kids tho!

I was impressed by how clean the hotel was. I would definitely stay here again.

We were close to the families we were up in Iowa to visit. Pretty spendy for rooms. I pre-booked 6+ weeks ahead and thought I was paying $150/night. It ended up being just under $200.00/night. Was it because it was a State Fair weekend? Was it because hotels can’t be up front about the various taxes? It’s not my job to figure that out. The hotel has nice amenities (pool & weight room & simple fare for breakfast) but really, I don’t feel our room was worth the amount we paid. Also, the staff appeared to be flustered at times. Not sure why, but some lacked the genuineness and warmth of a well-trained professional hospitality staff, which some areas of DSM are known for. That also is telling about the efficiency of a hotel. Chances are slim we will stay at this hotel again.
