What guests think

Reviews of Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines Airport highlight its convenient location by DSM airport with an airport shuttle and very early breakfast, friendly front desk staff, and generally adequate rooms, alongside recurring complaints about cleanliness, maintenance, and facilities.

Many consider it good value for a short, no-frills stay. The hot tub is often out of order, parking can be tight, and there is no elevator. Expect a simple, no-frills stopover.

We had pleasant stay. The facilities were clean and the staff was friendly. The pool was well kept and clean but the hot tub needed more attention. My only complaint was that we couldnt have our guests swim in the pool because they weren't registered. This was a dissapointment for us because my grandkids couldnt swim but overall it was a pleasant stay at a great price!guests.

The staff was very friendly. The rooms seemed to have been updated with hard floor tiles, some tiles loose and some dirty smudges on walls. Booked this hotel over others for the fact that it had a hot tub and would’ve been nice for my bad back condition but unfortunately hot tub was out of order and looked like it had been for a while. Pool was dated and definitely needs service, rust pouring out of tiles. Again the staff was very friendly and I would stay again unless there was a price comparable option with a working hot tub!

Overall rooms look nice/ typical however I'm not sure what all gets cleaned between guests. When we opened the door it was very musty smelling. Even after running the ac for awhile, you can definitely still smell a difference between the hallway & room. Another thing was my 3yr old opened a drawer and found 3/4 loaf of bread, 4 hotdogs buns, mayo, ketchup & can of veggies. It also smells bad in the drawer, so not sure how long they have been in there for. No extra blanket/ pillows. They do have mini fridge & microwave so i guess that's a plus.

Bed sheets and bath towels had stains on them. Breakfast consisted of round yellow tasteless circles that i assume were eggs. I had booked the room for two nights but plans changed and i wouldn't be able to stay 2nd night. Turned keys in and told desk person that I wouldn't need room for second night. She said "okay, no refund for 2nd night." I would not recommend this hotel at all - not friendly, not clean.

The hotel was very clean and tidy. There was only one odd thing. The four lamps in the room had electronic charger plug-in outlets on the base - however, they had no interior parts and were not functional. We had to crawl on the floor and reach behind furniture to plug in our phones. We could not plug in our tablet computers at all. This will prevent me from returning to this hotel.

Check in was fine. Bathroom was really small and the door to the bathroom was warped and it was coming off of its hinges. Using the outlets to charge our phones was sketchy… it would charge and then not charge and then charge and not charge… There was a towel that was thread bare… could see through it in spots. The fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night. Breakfast was very wimpy.

Generally it was good. The price seems to be a bit overrated, though. While everything in the room was great, it was just that the pillows were not quite comfortable. The sheets made my girlfriend itchy through the night while I slept fine. The bathroom door has a bottom hinge with a missing screw; therefore, the door was a bit loose. We also weren't able to fully lock with the deadbolt.

The door to the room isn’t sealed properly and has a gap around it that you can see light from the hall coming through the bottom, top, and side of door. Also walls and door are thin and you can hear everything in the hall and other rooms as if the people are standing in your room. But the room was adequate and the person that checked me in was nice.

Our flights were delayed and our travel plans were ruined for the weekend, I called the hotel to advise of the changes to our itinerary and requested a refund and was told no. We paid for the room we never made it to. I had 5 companies to get refunds from, from hotels to rental cars and all of them were understanding EXCEPT this hotel. The young lady I spoke with was very rude. We will not be booking with this hotel ever again.

I had the front desk give me a wake up call which never happened. I had the front desk order a shuttle for a time in the morning. There was no shuttle at that time and the front desk person had to call the shuttle driver and order the shuttle. These things should really be corrected. Honestly I could have missed my flight in two ways due partly to the hotel staff, not good.
