I was very happy with my room. Comfortable bed, soft sheets and pillows. I had a great sleep 😴. My only complaint is the air freshener that is pumped through the lobby and hallways is very toxic and offensive, please tone it down or get rid of it for everyone’s safety.

After booking, I noticed this motel had a lot of negative reviews on Google, so I was worried. I stayed here 3 nights and didn't have a single issue. The room was fine, the breakfast was fine (I only ate it one time, but it was pretty good). The staff were all friendly. This wasn't a 5 star hotel, but it was a standard, normal hotel room for a good price. I'd stay here again.

We stayed one night while traveling through Des Moines. The staff was friendly and very responsive to our questions. The room and bed were very comfortable. The pool looks great, although we didn’t use it. We did use the small fitness center. It has one treadmill, a stationary bike, and some free weights. Great value for price. We will stay here again on our return trip.
