We stay at the Widlwood often for sports tournaments and we're never disappointed. The rooms are spacious, clean and unusually well lit for a hotel. The swimming pool and workout room are both smaller, but more than adequate. The staff is always very helpful and the free breakfast is good. Some people don't like the lodge decorating scheme, but I... More

This hotel was the location for our baseball team this year. It was a beautiful facility and our room was big and roomy. We stayed in a room with 2 double beds. A big chair, desk and dresser. We had plenty of room. The pool was also great for the kids. The morning breakfast had waffles, hot oatmeal, fresh fruit,... More

Booked 2 nights at the Wildwood Lodge as it was midway between our Saturday evening. Staff was friendly, breakfast was OK, other than the bananas that were way too ripe. Rooms were very comfortable. The major issue we had was with the King Size bed arrangement in the rooms. The is the first hotel we've ever stayed in that the... More

Always have our family Christmas in January ... and picked this as our gathering location this year. Lodge worked with us on group pricing which was appreciated. We did not book a party room in advance, but once on site realized there was no space large enough for us to congregate without disturbing other guests. The staff made us a... More

I had won an overnight stay at this hotel but would definitely visit here again. Lots of parking, staff were friendly, rooms were large and very clean. TV was huge with a great selection of channels. The bathroom had a walk-in shower with a built-in seat, no tub but that was not a problem for us at all. There was... More

We ended up staying at the Wildwood during our trip to Des Moines for the 2013 NCAA wrestling championship. I was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with nice bathrooms. The complimentary breakfast was great. Real eggs and a wide selection of fruit, pasries and cereal. Would have been nice to have some type of meat but... More

We stayed at the Wildwood Lodge while a family member was having surgery. We got the Mercy Hospital discount and were happy with everything. We had checked out after the first night, then complications required us to stay again. They had no problem giving us the discount again and expressed their sympathy over our situation. We were in two different... More

Stayed here for three nights while attending a health care conference. Early 20th century 'lodgy' decor, and staff was welcoming and friendly. Were given two drink tickets upon check-in for beer or wine during our stay. Had a small gift shop area at the entrance area. When asking directions to the conference location, both the manager and gal at the... More

The staff of the Wildwood Lodge is very friendly, and very accomadating. Rooms are clean and spacious. They have a great social hour, and their breakfast is very good with an array of hot and cold items. I would stay here again.

Stayed here over a Saturday night with the three grandkids. The Poolside Room was incredibly convenient. The staff was efficient and friendly, rooms were clean. The only thing that did not impress was the breakfast. I typically don't like to make the waffles that most hotels these days are so fond of, but as that was the only hot food... More
