We travel to the Des Moines area frequently, and Wildwood Lodge & Suites has become our de facto overnight stop. Amazing staff, lovely property, great breakfast, pet friendly. Since finding Wildwood Lodge & Suites, we have tried no other places in the Des Moines area.

We stay here annually in January for a long weekend. The staff is very kind and helpful. The hotel is clean and quiet. Love the lodge feel as it feels very cozy and welcoming! The pool area and hot tub are wonderful. Very uniquely designed instead of just a traditional rectangle. Pool also is a perfect temperature for us and our child! We love it here!

Staff was very friendly. Lobby & breakfast area was comfortable, clean and felt very "homey". Pool was great for the kids and the hot tub was for mom and dad. It helped us out tremendously that we were able to check in early.
