50th Anniversary Getaway
We love staying at the Wildwood Lodge! They keep the 2nd floor as pet free. Their hot breakfast in the morning is really good! The bed was so comfortable and we enjoy the gas fire pit outside!

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!

Beginning to be a little dated…
We’ve always liked this hotel, but it’s beginning to be a little dated. The night we were there it was filled with loud family, gatherings, kids, and teenagers. Breakfast is never great, and that hasn’t changed. Does not accommodate gluten-free.
