We stayed here during my Grandfathers funeral. and the rooms were not that great. They need some type of ventilation in the smoking rooms. I am a smoker but the rooms really smelled. I had to go out and get air freshener for the room my self. They didn't give us enough towels in the room when they cleaned. We... More

It was late, like about 10 PM when we got there. We had reserved the room through Wyndham. The gal at the desk made me go out to the vehicle to get the triple A card, yet my card number was on the reservation, so I was not happy. Never had to do this before. The toilet would not flush... More

We came to Des Moines for the Janet Jackson concert at the State fair. This location was very easy to get to from State fair grounds. The staff was very courteous and helpful. The rooms were clean and beds comfortable and bedding was very crisp & clean! For the most part this hotel was quiet, except for the loud housekeeping... More

The staff was extremely helpful and very courteous. Rooms were very nice with comfortable beds. Was impressed to get a room during the busy weekend of State Fair and Knoxville Nationals. The bar located in the lower level also was a very nice place. We have decided this will now be our place to stay annually during the State Fair. More

Just got kicked out because they either didnt like that our family had a black child or that we didnt tell them about our 3 month old baby before checking in.... then the absolute rudeness and charges started coming, along with refusal to refund once we were kicked out!!!! Terrible and I will report to Expedia and to Better Business... More

This hotel was just the right place for us on a trip to DesMoines w/our grandkids. It was clean, quiet, beds were comfortable and the staff was friendly. We liked the layout of the room, with the sink area outside of the bath. The frig was nice in the room to keep cold drinks for the kids, the air worked... More

I didn't have anything bad to say UNTIL I got home & figured I left my phone charger in the room. Of course they didn't call me and their phone number & fax number on the confirmation won't work or EVEN go through. I tried several times with no luck. I have written a complain on the Days Inn website... More
