Great place!

Stay was great! We always choose the Wildwood when we come to Des Moines. The breakfast is top notch and the people are so friendly. Only issue: there was a light out in the shower and we found one hair in the shower. Nothing too big, we still enjoyed our stay and it didn’t hinder us from wanting to stay again. Overall will be back!

I was surprised that for the steeper price tag we had a very dated room. Basic cable, basic amenities, and thin walls.
