La Quinta by Wyndham Des Moines West Clive

Guests like the indoor pool, hot tub, and large patio with grill; the gym is adequate. Recurring issues include a cool pool, weak or lukewarm spa jets, very bright parking lights, and a worn or slow elevator; occasional towel shortages and a broken guest laundry were noted.

Cleanliness is frequently praised, with many describing rooms and common areas as very clean. Some guests report odors, dirty or worn elevator/carpets, and occasional housekeeping misses such as stained linens or unclean bathrooms.

Rooms are updated and generally comfortable and quiet, but many are on the small side. Guests mention occasional damp or musty air, noisy bed frames or AC, light leakage from outside, and spotty in-room Wi‑Fi.

Staff are often friendly and accommodating, with several standout interactions noted. However, reviews also cite inconsistent responsiveness, occasional check-in or key issues, and limited housekeeping during stays.

Convenient access to I‑35/I‑80 with restaurants and gas nearby; many find it quiet despite the freeway. A few guests found the property hard to spot from the highway.

Breakfast draws strong praise for variety and extras like waffle toppings and cappuccino machines, with many calling it one of the better free hotel breakfasts. A few reviews found it average or noted items running out.
