About Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Urbandale/Des Moines
A practical highway-side stay with easy access to Des Moines and Urbandale.
Microtel Inn & Suites By Wyndham Urbandale/Des Moines sits in the northern suburbs of the Des Moines metro area, close to major highways, shopping centers, and business districts. The property keeps things simple and practical, with compact guest rooms, reliable WiFi, and everyday amenities designed for travelers who plan to spend more time exploring the city than lingering in the lobby. Mornings begin with a continental breakfast before guests head toward downtown Des Moines, nearby offices, or local attractions around Urbandale and Johnston. An indoor pool adds a useful break during colder Iowa months, while the fitness area gives long-stay travelers somewhere to stretch out after hours on the road. Rooms include work desks, flat-screen TVs, coffee makers, and comfortable bedding suited for overnight stops or longer regional stays. The hotel’s location near Interstate 80 and Interstate 35 makes airport runs, college visits, and cross-state travel noticeably easier. Restaurants, convenience stores, and shopping plazas sit within a short drive, giving the property the feel of a dependable roadside base rather than a resort built for lingering weekends.
