The staff were excellent. We arrived early and needed to store our luggage, while we returned our hire car. The staff helped us store it in a secure room. We were allowed to wait in the Inn, after we returned from lunch with friends and it was still too early for check in. The room was spacious. The shower was hot. It had an elevator and a snack shop. The Inn had many facilities, which we could have used: spa/ swimming pool, rec rom, exercise room. It was also quiet. They had a free shuttle bus to and from the airport - on the hour.

This is a terrific property! The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful. For this tier of hotel, the Baymont by Wyndham Des Airport exceeds all expectations. The amenities offered here were excellent. The swimming pool and hot tub are really nice. The free breakfast was really high quality. I would highly recommend this hotel, as for the money, it’s hard to beat!

Although I didn't use, it was nice to know that I had access to a swimming pool and the gym. I really enjoyed the solarium and used it to work, which was really nice and relatively quiet. Breakfast was decent with little variety but the food was good.
