Rates shown are nightly rates before taxes and do not necessarily reflect all Johnston, IA discounts available. The chart reflects the cheapest Johnston hotel for each day and each star rating category.

Johnston was established in 1905 as a station on the Des Moines to Perry interurban railroad. Originally named Johnston Station, the town's name paid tribute to John F. Johnston, the railway's freight supervisor. As the railroad became less important to the area, the suburb became known as simply Johnston.

Today Johnston is home to more than 21,000 residents who enjoy access to award-winning schools, affordable housing, and excellent recreational facilities. Those recreational facilities, including parks, trails, and waterways, are key attractions for active tourists. Discover how much fun you could have outdoors when you visit Johnston.

When should you visit Johnston, Iowa?

Johnston enjoys its best weather from early June to mid-September. Summer days are warm but rarely hot, with average daily temperatures in the low to mid-80s. Conditions can be humid, though, and showers are common. Summer is also the most popular choice for tourists, so hotel prices typically rise to their highest levels.

If you can be patient, you'll usually get a better deal and enjoy slightly better weather in September. Daily temperatures typically sit in the mid-70s, perfect for hiking the trails and picnicking. Without the summer tourists inflating accommodation prices, fall has lower hotel rates too.

Johnston isn't made for winter sports, so most travelers don't want to brave the freezing, windy conditions for a vacation here from December to February. The accommodation prices, which fall to their lowest levels after the festive season, are really the only draw for a winter getaway.

Temperatures in late spring can also be pleasant, but rainfall is common during this time of year. Research the weather before your intended departure to see whether the showers will stay away.

Below is a chart of the current pricing seasonality of hotels and motels in Johnston, IA:

"Close to shopping, good restaurants and local events. "
Score 5.0 / 5

Johnston is close and easy to get around Des Moines but out far enough not to have to deal with city traffic. Close to shopping, good restaurants and local events. Always look forward to our short stays. A mini holiday and escape for us.
