Efficient and friendly staff, clean rooms, and the staff was right on the ball getting the driveway salted after an early-morning freezing rain. Typical Motel 6, great place to stay if traveling with dogs. Close to the IA state fairgrounds. More

So I know Motel 6 is a cheap motel, but there are certain standards that should be in place. The Airport Motel 6 in Des Moines was dirty and the walls were paper thin. I was kept up most of the night by neighbors next to me and above me. The front desk worker was sick. She was sneezing in... More

I drove in from Houston and immediately drove around the hotel to check it out. I then went inside and asked if I could see the room I would be staying in. The clerk, Katie, had absolutely no problem showing me the room. It was immaculate. I also asked two different guests if they were happy with their rooms, they... More

PROS: *price *accepted dogs * close to where I needed to be CONS: *Seemed clean enough, but smelled like smoke and barf. Note - this was a non smoking room. *Flat pillow - that was really no pillow at all. Scratchy, thin blanket. *Heating system was completely screwed up. Could either be really hot or really cold. *Loud. More

Stayed for two nights. Read these reviews prior to arrival and must say, I had a great time. The bed was comfortable, water was hot, and felt quite safe. The staff was very nice. We talked as if we were old friends. Watched cable TV, went across the street to Hy Vee for breakfast, lunch, dinner, free WIFI and it's... More

- Our check-in clerk was such a lovely lady! Very sweet, cheery & helpful. However, I had researched rates online before coming and it said the standard rate was $31.28/night, if you booked 7 nights. They would not honor that rate, even though it stated it was a "standard" rate and not a special online-only rate. I showed it to... More

Small rooms and worn out beds. Very loud and the parking lot was completely filled when I returned from supper. Had to park in unmarked area behind the place and walk all the way back to my room in front. Make sure you book online!!!! They were charging over $100 a night and I got my room for $45 by... More
