Non smoking room was smoky. Area unsafe. Worst customer service ever. When we checked in we were told we could have a late check out but in the morning a rude cleaning woman screamed at me that I would have to pay and that no one allowed late check out. Called the manager and she was rude as well, implying... More

I arrived late in Des Moines and didn't want to spend a lot of time getting to motel post-flight. Motel 6 is quite literally just down the road and convenient to get to. It's next to a Hy-Vee, a grocery store, so if there is anything you need, it's fairly convenient. Accommodations were Motel 6 standard...clean, basic room with no... More

Upon check-in the clerk had a short delay in assisting me but later explained she was having pc problems, by the am... More

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.

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.
