Two major issues I had. First one being while I was checking in, the woman that was working that was about to leave for the day was talking to the other woman checking me in, when she said “something was r slur” (the word used against intellectually disabled people.) The second major issue I had was when I was looking for something that I had lost in the middle of the night I picked up the mattress and found someone else’s panties there! Were the sheets even changed?!

This property was well-maintained and immaculate. The rooms were spotless and the service was excellent. The only issue I encountered was a musty odor in the hallways that gave the building an “old” smell. Overall, however, my stay was excellent and I would gladly return if I’m in the area again.

The photos and the price especially made me think this hotel was going to be a lot nicer than it was. Am I crazy to expect a nicer hotel for 189 a night? Outdated, stinky hallways. They have a 200.00 fine if they think you smoked in your room but our hallway reeked of weed the whole time. Front desk staff did their job but weren’t “friendly.” It was a bed to sleep in and the bad was comfortable. The air conditioning worked, the shower was warm. I’d say it was adequate.

I could hear everything in the hallway, nextdoor rooms and rooms above, etc....and people were up all hours of the night. I could actually hear the neighboring guest take a leak in the toilet. (Thin walls and big crack at bottom of exit door, plus ceiling contibute to the noise.) Did not sleep much here...

Entrance signs are very confusing and GPS takes you around the back, but parking is in the front. Right by airport but no noise! Well insulated and quiet. Entire place was VERY clean! Staff was friendly. We got a King Suite (great price on Expedia) that had a sofa and a RECLINER (Hubby loved that)! 50 inch TV, small fridge and microwave, older cofee pot. The bed was lucious - extremely comfortable! Hated to leave, but we were traveling so one and done. Did not use the indoor pool but it looked good. Breakfast was typical: scrambled eggs, cereal, waffles, bagels store bought mini muffins - NO meat - boo. Overall, would DEFINITELY stay there again.

A/C had to stay on because it was very hot and humid outside and I don't recall the A/C unit being noisy or loud at all, and did not smell moldy in the least like some places do. Room was very spacious and comfortable, love having a fridge and microwave. The breakfast had some good offerings, just not some things that I would eat but I found enough there for sure.

We chose this hotel because we had an early flight and they offer a shuttle and affordable parking. Staff was fantastic, very friendly. They had some of the breakfast items out early for us and coffee ready. The beds are comfortable. The only downside was our air conditioner wasn’t keeping up, our room was humid and hot. It was storming and super warm outside.

Nightmare from start to finish. Flying all day for a sports tournament. Had this room for months booked, get there after we land to find out they cancelled my reservation saying they couldn’t call me to confirm. I told them I was flying all day and they could care less. No place to stay they said they were booked. They said my card declined but I chose pay at hotel option. Walked outside and rebooked on Expedia after being told they have no rooms. Tried to avoid the rude front desk during my stay but my key didn’t work, constantly harassed about how much breakfast we were eating. I only had one serving of the same watered down gravy with biscuits each morning. I pre paid my second reservation and had to go to the desk before leaving for sports the night before after staying with a friend for the one homeless night with my son, to check and make sure they were not going to sell my room and I would come back to a place to sleep. Listed as having a gym. One old treadmill, a bike and yoga mat is what’s in there. It’s cheap and close to the airport is all it has going for it.

They gave us our key to our room and when we went to open the door there were already people in that room and we walked in on them, luckily they were nice about it. They switched our room but then we had someone using their key to try and get into our room a couple days later which thankfully ours was bolted. It’s just unsettling being two young girls with the idea that someone could have just walked in while we were sleeping.

After l called to cancel the reservation because of flight cancelations, l was assured by the desk associate that all was well and noted. When the manager of this hotel was contacted by Expedia to confirm my cancelation, Mr Paulouk lied and said l had not canceled. I have the phone records to prove my calls, plus the refunds for the room . When l contacted Mr. Paulouk personally, he called me a liar and refused to right his wrong. I am out $ $265.00 in reward cash because of his dishonesty. I am very disappointed in the unprofessional and disrespectful disregard this person/management /establishment has demonstrated.

We use the property almost every time that we fly into Des Moines. Nice-sized rooms are quiet despite proximity to the airport. Free airport shuttle makes access easy. Desk staff are pleasant and welcoming and efficient. Hy-Vee grocery store within easy walking makes self-catering easy. The complementary continental breakfast has adequate options. (They now use compostable plates instead of styrofoam. Cutlery is still plastic.) Rooms have adequate storage. Beds were comfortable and the air conditioning unit was fairly quiet. There is a Perkins Restaurant next door, but not many other dining options in the immediate area. The motel area is not conveniently served by public transport, so you would need your own wheels to visit local tourist sites or shopping malls. But as a convenient place to sleep after a long international flight, it is great.
