Des Moines, Iowa hotel rooms at the Independent

"Stayed there many times and quality is always the same. Wonderful."

"Always love to stay here!!! Older hotel but always great service and never any issues!"

"Very nice! Loved the oversized room with fireplace. Service great! I accidently left my shoes in the room and they mailed them to me . Fast and low cost. Will return! "

"The only disappointment was regarding the Speakeasy. The hotel website did not clarify that seating was very limited to not available at all. The was no open bar and only a handful of tables that required advance reservations. We had planned our trip and told our guests that the Speakeasy was our central meeting place and then none of us could get in. If you need an open bar to meet friends this is the wrong place. We should have stayed somewhere else."

"I believe this was one of the quietest hotels I ever stayed in. "

"The only issue I had was with the slides. The rules on what life jacket to wear wasn’t posted anywhere. My son went down one slide with a life jacket and the second time was told he couldn’t wear that one. He had to wear one that buckled in the back not in the front. The rules weren’t posted on the life jackets. "

"This was the nicest Motel 6 I have ever stayed in. Everything was new and fresh and more stylish than expected. There was a problem with the door sticking to the room"

"Check in took a while as no one was around for 5-7 minutes when I arrived. The room was well equipped and comfortable. Bed was comfortable but an extra blanket would have been nice. Room was clean and had microwave and huge refrigerator."

"We had a excellent stay and will stay again next time we are in town. "
