There is a huge area with tables and sofas near the Reception. The free breakfast is good with scrambled eggs and oatmeal being the Monday feature in addition to toast, bagels, English muffins, Danish, blueberry muffins, cereal and a couple others I don't recall. The bed was very comfortable and comes with five pillows. The shower had a nice touch...

From the moment we entered the Wildwood Lodge until we left, we had an excellent time. The complimentary breakfast was far beyond what you would expect for this type of breakfast, fresh-baked goods, waffles, fruit, etc and a wide variety of items. The staff was polite, friendly and helpful. The lobby placed in in a north woods lodge, rather than...

The staff was polite and very helpful. The hotel was clean and our room was spacious, not fancy, but very comfortable to be in. The food that was provided in the morning was unbelievable. What a variety of food to choose from. Didn't get a chance to swim in the pool, there were a lot of kids there.
I would...

WOW! What a lobby absolutely beautiful and outdoorsy! We are very much outdoor kind of people. The guest rooms are fairly simple but nice, clean and still have an outdoorsy touch. The breakfast is free and delicious! Parking is free and there is plenty of it. I would definitely stay there again. The location is great and only minutes away...

The hotel is excellent. The rooms are clean. Plasma screen televisions. The northwoods theme is a bit odd in a prairie state, but it actually seemed to add to the charm of the place. Overall, a great motel when visiting the Des Moines area.

A HUGE kudos to the owners of Wildwood Lodge where we stayed this past weekend for the Living History Farms race. We acedentally left our wet and dirty clothes in a trash bag in our room (that was meant to come home with us) and didn't realize we'd left it until we got back to Minneapolis (4 hours away). I...

I have a meeting in Des Moines several times a year and we usually stay at the Wildwood Lodge. Their rates are usually the lowest of acceptable motels, it is quiet even though there usually are a number of people staying there, the breakfasts are wonderful (fruit, juice, breads, waffles, eggs, yogurt, cereal, biscuts and gravy) the room is clean,...

Great location with lots of restuarants nearby! Wonderful pool area for kids and adults alike. They served a nice breakfast with a variety of choices. Since we had 4 rooms we appreciated the large lobby for eating breakfast or just gathering. The only thing that could make it better would be to have a small refrigerator in the room.
