Great winter getaway

Nice lodge feel. Great room. Super dog friendly. Nice pool and hot tub with $15 buckets of beer. The free breakfast was good as well. Scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, cereal and fruits made for a good free breakfast

Nice Place!

First time staying at Wildwood and will be back again! Get to Des Moines a couple times a year and thought it was time to try a different place to stay. Great place with nice room and a good breakfast.

What time does the airport transportation start ? Also the breakfast thanks

I don't know about shuttle. Breakfast starts at 7 am.

Good morning: what time does yr airport transportation start I have a early flight . Thank you

Sorry, I don't know about this service, since I didn't need to use it.

Hi, was wondering what time the breakfast starts in the morning?

6 am - I know that's correct because we left by 7 for a ball tournament (unless they started breakfast early since more than one team was staying there).

do any of the rooms have a whirlpool in the actual room not just at the pool?

Yes they do, we had one the last time we stayed, it was very nice and nice lighting. We were surprised as we hadn't asked , they upgraded us!

what is minimum check in age?

I have never asked that question as I am a senior but most hotels are either 18 or 21. You have to call the hotel for that information Thank you so much for asking
