I really like the location and shopping near by. I have no problems with the staff and cleanliness of our room. Here is my issue... our room faced the parking lot out back. There was shear curtains over the window. But the heavy curtains that would darken the room were on a track that was only 16" long on both ends. This left a 3 foot opening in the middle. The very bright parking lot lights made it almost like daylight in our room. I tried to use a hanger from the closet, but it was still too light. Our sleep was hindered by the brightness so we got up at 3:00am and checked out. Obviously at 3:00am there was no one to complain to. I will try and submit 2 pictures that i took of the curtains.

Went into the room and could tell it was not properly cleaned. Ice cream and garbage in ice bucket. Hair, food and dog food on floors. Bed broken, peep hole broken had to tap it shut, door security handle broken would take 5 min to get inside. Smelled like smoke. Room not only dated but holes in walls and trim, curtains and in bathroom. Spoke to front desk and cleaning crew who were aware of these issues said they cleaned it for 45 min prior. Grounds were a mess, glass, needles and drug paraphernalia in parking lot. Pool was ice cold and alarm keep going off, assuming because couldnt smell or detect any chlorine in pool. Informed staff of alarm to which they just ignored. Heard other patrons complaining they didnt have water working in rooms. If just looking for cheap room maybe adequate however that would be only time id recommend staying.

We stayed in one of the suite style rooms. It was perfect for our family of 5. Spacious for our toddler to run around. Only complaint would be how dark it felt walking down the hallways. Just needs to be brightened up a bit.

my room was dirty which i have pictures, I didn’t even bother the front staff because you either couldn’t find them, or they were busy talking to someone, the neighbors above me were loud all night long. I had to call at 1:30 in the morning to complain about a diesel truck sitting outside my window on for more than 30 minutes and all around. I was not impressed and I’m willing to send pictures.

Disappointed
The room was somewhat dirty. There was poop on the lid of the toilet near where you flush the toilet. The floor was dirty and hadn't been swept her mopped. There was even a few specks of dried mud behind the bathroom door which I had cleaned up with some toilet paper. I did report that to the front desk and they asked me if I wanted to move, but I had already went out and bought some disinfectant wipes and some Lysol to clean and disinfect around the room a little bit. It was obvious it looked like the bed had been changed or I definitely wouldn't have stayed in there. I had already put all my stuff in there and all I asked was, since I was going to a baby shower and I was going to be gone for over 4 hours which I was, I had asked if someone could bring me some fresh towels and sweep and mop the floor while I was gone. Upon my return, it didn't get done at all, no fresh towels and the floor was the same. There was even a housekeeper cleaning rooms while I was returning to my room, and I just wanted to lay down and take a nap. I had paid for two nights, and my key wouldn't work so I had to run back to the desk and have them fix the situation and I told them that it didn't get done and they said they would do it right now. The point is, I am a customer and I put in a a request about something that should have already been done while I was gone, and even before I got the room and it didn't get done at all. I'm very disappointed.

Noisy hallways; nasty breakfast
The walls here are paper-thin: A few families across the hall from me had crying babies, drunk men, etc. making noise all night. I had to turn the bathroom fan on, and the AC fan on full blast to try to drown it out. And though the breakfast was free so I shouldn't have expected much, the waffles,syrup, and instant coffee were the worst I've had, and all tasted very chemically. My room had been updated but wasn't in the best shape: there were stains on the bathroom wall next to the toilet paper, the sink was rusty around the metal parts, and it just felt kind of gross. Classic case of "You get what you pay for."

I am in Des Moines‘s once a month and for the last eight months I have stayed at this motel. The service is outstanding. The rooms are clean. The rate is unbelievably reasonable!!! there are many things to do within walking distance. The staff are friendly, and they go above and beyond. my trips to Des Moines, 3 Hour Drive, are usually so stressful, but the staff at this motel are so accommodating and helpful. I feels like a mini vacation away from my job.
