Good room, bad bed.

The room i stayed in was nice, they didn't have much for toilet paper in the bathroom though, but it did have a nice big shower. My only real complaint was the bed, it was hard as a rock.

A little upcoming gem in Des Moines! The rooms are better than what you typically get for this price and they are upgrading the hotel to be an affordable boutique hotel in the area. The owner, Dennis, was very kind. If you are on a budget, definitely don't let the outside turn you away. Appreciated my stay.

They are currently remodeling the outside of the motel. The room was as nice or nicer than hotels twice the price.

Get what you pay for

We found the accommodations OK. We were in town for the State Fair and just needed an air conditioner, a bed, and a shower. The shower did not have much hot water or pressure. The air conditioning is a window unit, so it was a bit loud, but it did drown out the street noise. The room was clean and adequate for our needs, and the price was right. The facility is old and looks a bit sketchy, but the receptionist was kind, helpful, and friendly.

Inexpensive with Easy Access to Downtown

Inexpensive stay in a location with easy access to the downtown. I'll stay there again.

As a woman in my 20’s, I felt a bit on edge staying here but I knew what I was getting when I paid for it. My key card kept getting disabled each day and I had to keep getting new ones. The sheets appeared to be stained and we found a pair of dirty underwear inside of the bedding. If you stay here I would advise you to bring your own bedding and bath towels. It’s a decent place to stay if you need a temporary room to sleep in, but otherwise I would recommend staying elsewhere.

While the rooms was okay, there were a couple of things that would have been helpful. Firstly, there was no listing of restaurants near the motel which would have been nice. There was a television that worked, but there was no listing of the local TV stations or any kind of guide. The shower, while good, was not checked prior to my arrival as the shower was out of shower gel even though there were built in containers for the gel in the shower. Another thing that I was not pleased with was the lack of a receipt. I specifically asked for a receipt and was told I could not get one from the staff at the check-in desk. I was told to go online to get the receipt. I found this to be unacceptable and asked, specifically, for a receipt. The staff member finally printed off a receipt from an online page. Not providing a receipt was totally unacceptable and is probably a defining condition as to whether or not I would return to the motel if I was in the area again.
