What guests think

At Ramada by Wyndham Des Moines Tropics Resort & Conference Ctr, travellers consistently praise the kid-friendly indoor waterpark but report significant downsides, including frequent pool or slide closures, understaffing, and worn facilities that dampen overall comfort and reliability.

Cleanliness and maintenance concerns recur, with reports of damp rooms, mold, broken fixtures, and intermittent hot water. Service feels stretched, with long check-in lines, occasional overbooking, and inconsistent communication, though several guests found individual staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast and on-site dining are often limited or inconsistent, and hours for pools or amenities may change without clear notice. Expect a budget-friendly stay centered on the pools, but manage expectations for reliability.

First, the front desk staff were great. Very helpful and offered to help with anything we needed. The room was not ready at check-in. The room was outdated, some unrepaired damage, missing lightbulbs, and didnt have cold water in the morning. The waterpark was excellent. Love that the water was not cold. Overall, some good and some improvements needed for higher rating.

No hot water at all in entire hotel! Indoor pools were all ice cold because their heaters were broken too. Pool bar plating extremely loud music after close.

Lukewarm, dirty hot tub. Extremely cold pools that make it hard to enjoy the water. Bathroom door doesn’t latch, bathroom fan doesn’t work. They made the hot tub 18+ when highschoolers were there for a sporting event. There was no breakfast set up on Saturday so we had to leave. When we came back at 9 the breakfast area has 1 cereal option, some fruit, they were just bringing out pancake batter. The whole area was a mess. I expect better when paying almost 400 to stay the weekend.

The water park was not open and the lap pool had chipped paint in the water. The carpet in the main entranced was soiled-- not a good first impression walking in. The staff were kind, courteous and helpful.

Staff member Unique did awesome helping us manage. Boss's pizza next door was understaffed and was burning all the food. Many people were leaving and asking for refunds. Water park water was warm but is only open on the weekends.

The main waterpark feature was closed. Had we known this, we may have booked elsewhere as we have a 5 year old child who loves the water features here. This is the second time in the last 12 months that we have stayed here and had problems with Pirates Cove water features being accessible to guests. Also, no continental breakfast on Friday morning? Both of these items were in the online description. Restaurant under new management, again, unable to serve adult beverages. Been coming here once or twice a year for at least 15 years, sad to see it going downhill.

Don’t let the exterior fool you-once you’re indoors you’ll realize there’s major disrepair throughout the building. We had to walk over a standing pool of water in a carpeted hallway from a bathroom shower leaking through the wall. When we walked into our room, we were hit with the smell of mold and mildew. The bathroom was clean and tidy so the smell was likely from the carpet and window covers. Extensive rust on a floor lamp, underneath the shelf in the closet, and on light fixtures. Other parts of the hotel were going through repairs with sections boarded up with plywood and large buckets of material set off to the side in hallways. Woke up to tornado sirens early that next morning. Tried to call the front desk to get directions as to where to go for safety but the phone in the room wasn’t even working. We had gotten in late the night before, but checked out early in the morning and made accommodations elsewhere for the rest of the trip. The front desk was friendly and I appreciated that they refunded the 2nd night.

There is mold everywhere. The bathroom didn't have any ventilation no fan mold growing all over in the grout . The carpet was wet and sticky probably why when we arrived the AC was set at 64. There are spots everywhere where the paint is bubbled up due to mold . You can tell where they cut the bigger spots and just painted over . In the hallway was standing water all throughout and the smell was strong like cat piss . Other people meet us in hallway had same issues some sounded worse than ours. Fire alarms went off at 1:30 in morning. They had no real protocol half people evaluated others just hung out in hallway finally fire department came to ok everything. I as well as other families have videos and pictures of the water and mold . The health department seriously needs to investigate. I will be sharing my video and pictures with them just wish I could bottle up the smell and send to them also.

Most disgusting place I've stayed. Pool area dirty as well as whole building dirty and in ill repair. Life guards at pool area are a joke. Are they really life guards? Water is dirty mirky. Is it treated correctly? Mold around edge of pool. Rooms were filthy dirty. Dirty carpets. Breakfast was rolls from walmart, milk juice from walmart and yogurt. Would never stay again. Check in looked like a bunch of meth heads with no teeth and so unprofessional. Very price for 3 nights. I want to turn them in to the state inspections. Looks like people who work there probably live there. Elevator was broke down. Absolutely disgusting.

The included breakfast only had one option which would be fine as long as no one has a food allergies. The lifeguards at the pool did not seem to care about the kids saftey. As there where 10-12 year old kids running around in the 1 foot deep pool, pushing little kids out of the way on the stairs and up by the slides causing kids to hit their heads. Music was loud enough to hear clear as day in the rooms after the pool was closed and past midnight. Then on Saturday into Sunday at 1 am the fire alarm was going off and on and no one could get an answer as to what was going on or if those staying in the hotel where safe. The bathroom title in the room we stayed in was loose and would slip when you walk on it. Lets not forget the humidity from the pool causing water to build up on the room doors and arch ways causing water to drop on you when entering or leaving the room.

Hotel was probably amazing at one time. It either needs torn down or completely remodeled. It is definitely showing major signs of wear.

I'm sad to write this as I had high hopes for this place and it could be so good. We got there at 320 and were told the rooms aren't clean yet. Try back at 330 or 4. We returned at 4 to no less than 25 people in the lobby. 2 hours later, we were able to get checked in. When we finally got in, we didn't realize my handicapped mom would have to walk all the way around for her room. When we got her in the " accesible" room, we found a bed and a bathtub that she could not get into. She slept on the couch. The pool was a hike for her, and there wouldn't have been accessibility into the pool once we got there. Not that we could get in because there were too many people to move and the chlorine smell would have put her in an immediate asthma attack. The rest of our rooms were ok but so dated and needed maintenance . The shower actually didnt work in my sisters room but maintenance did show up and fix it.We decided not to go out that night so we went to boss' pizza. The lady was a little frazzled brought us menus and said she was alone and it might be a minute. she ran to grab a drink for another table and then went to the back. She was there awhile so we ordered through the QR code. We asked the guy who came out a few times if there was an estimate he said it's coming. One hour later the lady comes out of yhw back and says where do I start. We say we are still waiting for food. She's like ok let me check and he then comes out with some food.

It took over 1.5 hours to stand in line with an upset toddler to be able to check in along with about 100 other people/kids. Would STRONGLY recommend allowing early check-in when you all know hundreds of people are checkin in the same day. We saw people leave, people were being checked into already occupied rooms. It was the absolute worst experience I've EVER had in checking into a hotel. The elevator to the 2nd floor, where our room was, was out of order so we had to carry a ton of stuff up stairs after having already put in on a cart to take to the room, but cant use carts on stairs. There were ZERO towels the entire stay for swimming and even our suite didnt have enough towels to shower with for the number of people we had (2 towels for 5 people) is completely ridiculous! The lobby was basically destroyed by angry waiting children/adults and the staff left all of the mess, including beer cans, wrappers, fake mulch from center display all over the ground and staff did not clean up after the checkin nightmare was over until sometime after midnight as was my last time through lobby. The only positive thing I have to say, is that my son had an absolute blast but thats because he's 3 and doesnt have the brain capacity to notice how incredibly awful this hotel is.

Staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant. This was exactly what we needed on our long drive. A clean and safe place to stay with a family friendly giant pool playground for the kids that was included in the stay. Hotel needs updating and the management was getting quotes while we were there. Dinner was great with a voucher for an adult beverage at the restaurant. Glad we stubbled on this location. It was just the space we needed for all 5 people in my group.

The worst checkin process I’ve ever experienced. Waited in line for 40min. The lobby was crowded, loud and full of people that were waiting on their rooms to be ready. When I tried to check in I was told my room wasn’t ready. I was told it would be ready in a couple of minutes but I ended up waiting another 30min. I asked again and was told they were cleaning it now. I waited another 15min and it was still not ready. My family and I could not wait any longer so we cancelled our room and ended up driving home. It was a disappointing ending for my 9 year old son’s birthday.

Room was fine. I dislike the shower setup with no door. Water spilled everywhere. The check in was an absolute atrocity. It took over an hour to check in and this was AFTER I completed the quick check in process. What is the point of that if it doesn't help? The two employees checking people in were courteous, but as far as appearance I couldn't believe how unprofessional they appeared. One was wearing a beanie hat and Mario Brothers sweatshirt. Really?? That's how you want customers to see your staff? Ramada has been a bust 2 times now in two different locations. Love the concept of the indoor waterpark, but way to packed and overall we will not be coming back unless customer service improves drastically. We ordered a pizza at 5:30 from their restaurant and we didn't receive it until 7:15! The incompetence and lack of leadership was jarring. The entire place needs a huge overhaul. We also didn't have towels to use from the waterpark and I didn't even bother to ask the front desk because I knew they wouldn't be able to assist us. Pool was supposed to open at 9am, we could see lifeguards and other staff scrambling, but it did not open until 9:10. How is this not ready everyday? This could not have been the first time for these employees opening up? Overall again, we are done with Ramada as a whole.

I booked this room a week before our trip. When we got to the hotel to check in, we were told our room was given away because the hotel was overbooked. I had even called the day of to make them aware that we would be checking in later than the time i originally thought, just as a courtesy to THEM and i was assured that since my credit card was on file, i would be guaranteed my room. Well, they dropped the ball and we had no room, they had given it away. No one ever called me, even though the guy at the front desk said on my file it says someone called me to inform me my room was given away. Absolutely the worst hotel experience I’ve ever had. I would never recommend this place. Save your money and go elsewhere. The employee at the front desk was so kind and so apologetic though for someone else’s screw up.

I arrived there with my family, and after a long wait at the front desk, to find out that our room was not available and there is nothing they could do. Apparently, the manager and assistant manager do not work on the weekend, and the receptionist couldn't get a hold of anyone. the cleaning crew had gone for the day, and the rooms were not clean to give to us. we booked our room 3 weeks in advance and checked in online. We had to find another hotel in the area to spend the night. They cancelled our reservation and asked us to speak with our third-party vendor to get refunded. We are yet to get a refund. What a shame.. nice water park with the wrong management. I read the reviews and was expecting a delay or not a clean facility but I was surprised to not find a room all together. I didn't plan for that one. what a waste. This is very unfortunate. I wish someone will do something about it.

Traveling as a family of 5: Cons: The room wasnt very clean. The mattress had blood stains and urine stains. There were cans of Busch lite already in the garbage can in the room and the couch had white stains on it.. The front desk wasnt very helpful or available. The employees sat in the room behind the front desk and ignored me and my kids waiting to be helped. I was just trying to get some coffee packets for our room since breakfast wasnt until 8am even though the site says it starts at 7am. There were no vending machines for water or snacks. The morning staff weren't very pleasant at all. Pros: the kids had fun at the waterpark and arcade. There were restaurants and gas stations within walking distance so that was very helpful!

Check in was smooth but it ended there. Two towels in the room for five people and spent the entire stay asking for towels to finally get some on our last day. The pool has some acetylene hazards in the children’s pool of things sticking out of the ground that will hurt your feet if you don’t know they are there and the lifeguards walking around fully clothes doesn’t give any confidence that they will effectively be able to jump in for aid without wasting precious moments getting all the layers off or them being weighted down by the amount of wet clothes they would experience after jumping in. The broken lifeguard devices that they played with was not comforting as well. Dinner was meh, but the staff deserve a gold star for efforts as they were definitely overwhelmed and understaffed. Breakfast … cereal, fruit, and yogurt … we left and were thankful that there was a Perkins close by.

The pillows and blankets were very cheap and the couch was broken. The pool area was extremely hot and the pools needed to be cleaned the water was very cloudy.The pizza place down stairs messed up my order so badly. The breakfast was horrible stale cereal great value yogurt and juice a waffle maker and old fruit was all they had the coffee was nasty too kids had fun but it was not worth the price or $15 extra for the swimming bracelets I went for the babies but I don’t think we will be going back any time soon

Was going to eat at Boss’ Pizzeria but it was so dirty I am going to call the health department. Lifeguards were LATE and/or didn’t show on Sunday so they only opened half of the pool. (After multiple parents complained.) Continental breakfast was a joke. There was a small selection of cereal with a gallon of milk on ice and the coffee was out. Very disappointed!
