not only is this place a terrible mess, our vehicles were broken into, the staff and the front desk clerk are rude terrible people. check the sex offender registry for iowa and you will notice that most of the residents of this hotel are on the list. i would never recommend my worst enemy stay in a place like this....

Anyways were laying there and we start to itch...my boyfriend and I pull back the sheets and low and behold 2 bedbugs one little and the other the size of a dime....we put them in a bowl took em to front desk...

I spent a day driving around Des Moines recently trying to find a reasonably-priced hotel. I did this because over the next two years, I will need to stay overnight in the Des Moines area over 40 separate nights for work-related reasons and I was looking for something clean, comfortable, quiet, and affordable.

Our family stayed here due to the convenient location and we were SO disappointed! The staff was unprofessional and most often not even at the front desk, the continental breakfast (what little there was) was unhealthy pre-packaged foods and items weren't re-stocked. The room was small, shabby and not very clean, and the bathroom a wreck.......rusty metal, cracked sink, clogged... More
