This hotel was a desperation stop. We were tired and didn't know where the next hotel would be (2 exits up the road!) The room was dirty, the chairs stained, the sheets ripped. The fans were so noisy, they could not be used, including the one in the bathroom. Even for $72 a night it was overpriced. I have no... More

Desk clerk was nice enough. Place was overpriced at $60, but it was a place to stay right off the freeway. Didn't take my shoes off, carpet was nasty. Burn holes in rug, mattress and covers. Bathroom was just barely OK. If you are in need and have NO OTHER OPTIONS. I was a little sketchy as a solo traveler.... More

$60 a night with taxes is pricey for an economy room, but it was located off the highway and it was close, but not in busy Des Moines. However, if you don't like paper thin walls (and ceilings), a bathroom the size of an average closet, and beds that feel like tables,I wouldn't advise staying at this motel. If you... More

We checked in as we were searching for a pet friendly hotel. Not only was the room filthy, but we found bugs in the bed- looks like a bed bug issue! Not only would we not stay in this filthy room, but we wouldn't even let our dogs stay - we left. The desk clerk was clueless and less then... More

Not a bad place to stay for under $50. They are undergoing renovations currently and our room had all of the plumbing redone with all brand new tiles and fixtures. The bathroom worked very well except that the shower head is mounted at about 5 ft which is tough for a 6'2 person. The rest of renovations are in progress.... More

This place needs some serious repair. The headboard was falling off the wall. The faucet to the shower came out of the wall when turned on and the caulking was not there or moldy. The carpet was stained (like dog pee). The door stuck to the floor when you tried to open it.

The motel web site says “recently renovated” but there was certainly no evidence of that in what we experienced. The carpet was a thin, dirty disaster…I told my husband NOT to lie on the floor to do his stomach crunches for fear that he may catch something. The “free” wireless Internet service was a total joke; the signal was so... More

My family and I had the worst hotel experience. This is the first days inn we ever stayed in and the last.

Maybe was a nice place to stay at so me point, but not anymore. First impression, there was like one car in the parking lot, building was in need of care. Got a room, went to it. Door had trouble opening and closing would stick on carpet unless you pushed it closed. In the bathroom the toilet paper was on... More
