The mirror and toilet were uncleaned and had pub hairs. The back of tiolet was covered in black mold. There is mold all over... More

not only is this place a terrible mess, our vehicles were broken into, the staff and the front desk clerk are rude terrible people. check the sex offender registry for iowa and you will notice that most of the residents of this hotel are on the list. i would never recommend my worst enemy stay in a place like this....

I spent a day driving around Des Moines recently trying to find a reasonably-priced hotel. I did this because over the next two years, I will need to stay overnight in the Des Moines area over 40 separate nights for work-related reasons and I was looking for something clean, comfortable, quiet, and affordable. Of course, this took me to some... More

The sheets were clean. The guy at the front desk was friendly and helpful. The place is conveniently located about 30 seconds off I-80. That's the good. The property is a run-down mess, both outside and in. They could star in a new reality TV show; "Can You Clean Better Than a 5th Grader". Pubic hairs (not mine) in the... More

Where do I start? With the parking lot that is in poor condition, the smell inside the hallways and the rooms themselves (smells musty and stale) or the generally unfriendly staff? The one thing that this hotel has going for it is that it is close to the highway. More

We landed here during the week end of the Drake Relays and didn't have any reservations. The price for our room with one double bed was $45 plus tax. For our purpose it was great, we needed a close place to stay, a warm shower, and a comfortable bed. The Pool is great, very warm and 10ft deep on the... More

Our family stayed here due to the convenient location and we were SO disappointed! The staff was unprofessional and most often not even at the front desk, the continental breakfast (what little there was) was unhealthy pre-packaged foods and items weren't re-stocked. The room was small, shabby and not very clean, and the bathroom a wreck.......rusty metal, cracked sink, clogged... More

First of all it was very inexpensive, had an indoor pool, continental breakfast and was in a good area of town. However, we checked in at 3:15 p.m., were given a room key, lugged all of our stuff to the room, only to discover that the room was not yet made up and was a mess from the previous guests.... More
