AmericInn by Wyndham Ankeny/Des Moines

Clean and well kept building. Nice room and comfortable bed. Way too much chlorine in pool, air burned our eyes. But nice having hot tub and pool. Breakfast was fair at best compared to other places. Same menu Saturday and Sunday mornings.

We had local friends visit and we were charged for them to use the pool... We had 4 people staying in our room and four people swam ... Not the same 4... But were charged $21 for our 3 friends to swim. However a family later came and did same thing never paid... But appeared only 1 person was staying at hotel but 2 kids swam but left at 945.

Staff were great. Very responsive. Room had a few issues. Room was spacious. We rented the Grand Master Suite. Facility seemed a little dated. Breakfast was good.

Room was clean and in good condition. Pool area needs to be cleaned. Breakfast didn’t have any oatmeal. Staff was very friendly.

Where do I start? Check-in, I was told I'd have to pay a cash deposit. Nothing on the booking site mentioned anything about this. Pool area. Apparently the hotel rents out their pool on Mondays for swimming lessons. I was relaxing in the hot tub when a woman and her two kids showed up with an older woman. What commenced was the older woman yelling and whistling at the kids as she attempted to teach them. The doors which are labeled "Locked for your safety" most definitely were not locked.
