Staff very accommodating. Dog friendly; $25 dog fee per night. This is a long-term stay hotel so heard workmen on our floor going to work early and the smells of guests making breakfast in their rooms. But we would definitely stay there again. Beds are comfortable and rooms spacious.

Overall, nice affordable hotel with very friendly people. The booking site needs clarification. We booked a room which "Sleeps 3" with a Queen bed. I assumed a pull-out of some sort. It actually was a recliner which really wasn't sleepable as it didn't lock in place and was small. It is really a room for 2 and caused us some issues.

Only problem we had was a slow draining tub/shower and it certainty wasn't a deal breaker. I thought the price was very reasonable.

This was our first time staying at this property, and we were quite pleased. Check-in was quick and seamless and the front desk girls were very friendly. The only downside is that we felt walls and floors were thin. You could hear people walking around above us. Overall a very nice hotel at this price point.

Staff was friendly and checked us in an hour early which I really appreciated. The hotel is very outdated and there's no breakfast available, which i knew before. It was very clean and taken care of though. My only issue was staying in 201 in the very end of the hall next to the stairwell. People were in and out all night and everytime it shook my bed, startling me awake. That was my only issue.

The staff was very pleasant. They found out after I checked in, by cleaning crew, that my refrigerator wasn’t working and I no more got everything in my room and the maintenance crew was there. They had it fixed immediately and apologized that they hadn’t found out about and had it fixed before I got into the room. Everyone seemed to enjoy working there, they were always smiling and happy. I liked the kitchen area with stove and full frig. I only stayed for 2 days but if I was going to stay longer, this would be my place to stay cause you could fixed your own food instead of eating out all the time. Will be staying here again.

The general manager called me the day of to let me know they were overbooked and had no room for me. I had made my reservations 3 weeks earlier. I had make other arrangements that day while the Iowa state fair was going on, and rooms were almost all gone. Hotels.com did assist me, but I won’t book with My Place again.

The guy at the desk seemed a bit confused at times. While i had no issues, someone else in our party couldn’t get into his room. After returning to the front desk 3 times, the guy at the desk finally went with him only to find that someone else was already in that room. The problem DID ultimately get rectified.

Houskeeping was using the check in computer when I arrived. They saw me but didn't acknowledge me. I'm currently experiencing serious medical challenges. I quietly and politely explained it could get embarrassing fast...no reaction. It wasn't super slow...but i was the only one there.

A wonderful value amongst many hotel and restaurant options, especially if you don't need a lot of frills (no pool, no gym, food for purchase only. The property was well kept, the room was very clean, the bed was comfortable, and you could actually open the window to get fresh air. The wi-fi worked well. The single bed room was spacious (ample floor space for two+ yoga mats). The room included a kitchenette with full-size fridge, microwave, and counter-top range (no cooking or eating utensils). We would definitely make this a regular stop when traveling through Des Moines.
