“Stay at BW Desmoines”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

Very friendly staff and this is enhanced by a great happy hour. We have stayed here several times in the past and have never been disappointed. We also have a small dog and feel very welcome. This makes for a great trip and rest stop.

I have stayed at this hotel multiple times. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. The weeknight free happy hour is a plus... nice to have a glass of wine and a snack at the end of the day. Pool is clean and hot tub is actually hot... always a plus with me. Good selection at breakfast. Location is right... More

“Best Western Plus, Clive, Iowa”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2013

The Best Western Plus in Clive (minutes south of Des Moines) is really close to West Des Moines. The location is really convenient, the rooms spacious, the staff friendly, and the breakfast satisfying. The fitness center; however, requires updating. I'd stay here again...

Dear Cliff, upon review with my staff and witnesses, I would now like to address the issues of your accusation of “bad customer service”. My receptionist had every intention to get you the washcloths, but he would need a few minutes to get them from the laundry, as all we had at the front desk were rags. He did not... More

“It was my pleasure”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2013

Very nice and comfortable room with a fair price. The shower was fantastic. Desk clerk was awesome. The free breakfast was great. Hotel is very close to gas, food, major highways. If there is any complaint it would be in locating the hotel. There were only 2 small Best Western neon signs. One was dimly lit and hard to see.... More

Thank you Richard for the kind words about my property. We always strive to make every guest's stay comfortable and memorable and it is very gratifying when someone such as yourself recognizes it on this forum. Our challenges with the signage are a result of our local signage laws which forbid us to have any more signage then what is... More

“A place to stay overnight for less than a C-note”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 January 2013

This is NOT a resort hotel, so you'll get 'scratchy" bath towels and lower quality sheets, but they're clean and I didn't notice any stains. The bathroom sink is in the main room, not with the other two fixtures, and yes it's a bit small counter-wise for the beauty supply junkies. The bathroom fan is rather noisy and controlled by...
