If you are looking for a low-cost, clean room, this is a good pick. There are no frills but also no complaints. I suspect that the hotel is NOT American owned if that is a criteria for you but the staff was helpful and curteous. The breakfast is average, the rooms were average but clean. If you have allergies to... More

I had a one night stay and arrived late (after 10) - the hotel is older and in need of a makeover, but the room was relatively clean and a good size. The mattress was saggy and there was very, very light water pressure in the shower the next morning (it was a dribble, not light due to a hi-powered... More

Stayed here during the Iowa State Fair for its lower price. Not a great location but it was a roof over my head. Adequately clean. Desk staff were very nice and helpful. Not a bad place. More

Location was good, we were there on a busy weeknight during the state fair. We were on our way to Denver, and actually went to 5 other hotels, and they were all full, so happened on the Days Inn. It is an older hotel, with basic amenities, but nice and clean. Breakfast in the morning was a limited continental selection,... More

This hotel was so terrible it prompted me to write the very first review I have ever posted! To begin with, the lady at the front desk was rude, and very short. Half of the time she acted like she didn't even hear us talking to her. My family and close family friends took up 7 rooms that night. That's... More

I had originally booked with another hotel and was disappointed with what I found. I quickly phoned the Days Inn at West Des Moines because I had a previous stay there. They were so accommodating to my needs with such short notice. They gave me a great rate and made me feel very welcome. Not only was the service excellent,... More

This hotel was great for our family trip. Everything was clean, breakfast every morning and great service. The pool and pool area were HUGE! Our only complaint was the noise, we could hear every time someone opened a room door in the hallway and could hear some people just talking the hallway. More

So, there is certainly nothing overly impressive about this Days Inn, but for the price I found it to be a very good choice for staying in Des Moines. It is very conveniently located right next to the freeway and is in a very quiet area of West Des Moines. There was construction set up next door but other than... More
