“Rooms ok but breakfast and hotel in general meh”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 March 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Stayed here while needing to work close to the airport. Room was comfortable, wifi was slow but free, tv was very old school but had a descent channel selection. Bed was above average but linens were about as expected for a comfort inn. Shower would not get hot .. Was only warm both nights. Breakfast isn't anything special.. Pool was very small. Hotel uses a parking lot shuttle but it seemed pretty convenient for use to and from the airport. Coming back to DES moines and will stay somewhere else but may recommend to someone looking for a close airport hotel that is a cheap and has a conveinent shuttle

“no microwave or fridge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

people found this review helpful

Room clean and comfortable but without microwave or fridge. Asked the front desk why and was told that is how they set up the two bed rooms. ?? Also, no drinking glasses in room. We are right across from pool and can hears kids clearly. Not staying for breakfast as want early stop. Don't believe this hotel up to Comfort Inn standards,

“Affordable, Quiet and Comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2011

Located across the street from the airport, this hotel is surprisingly quiet. The pool area is clean and easy to access. My room was large with a very comfortable bed. I've stayed here before and will stay here again.

“just fine if you are looking for an overnight stay room”

the hotel is located across from the airport but was quiet - we didn't hear any planes taking off or landing. room coffee pot didn't work )-: and the cable reception was very poor. the room had a refrigerator, microwave and coffee pot - all stacked on top of each other! otherwise it served the purpose - a room for the night at a hotel that was pet friendly.

“Okay stay; rude staff”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 October 2009

I stayed at the Comfort Inn Des Moines Airport for two nights over the July 4 weekend while we visited my in-laws. When we arrived at the check-in counter in the early evening of July 3, there was no one there to check us in. When the person finally came a few minutes later, there was no apology for my wait. As she checked me in, she told me that they were trying to give the Fourth of July holiday off to as many of the housekeeping staff as possible. She said that to do this, they were asking people if they wanted an express type of housekeeping. She said they'd still bring towels, but wouldn't make the beds. I don't stay in hotels very often, and when I do, having the beds made up by someone other than me is one of my favorite things (I know, I'm easy to please). So I said that I would like the full housekeeping please. But having to say that made me feel, well, bad. But at the same time, she didn't mention I'd get a discount for the express housekeeping. I thought it was strange to even ask guests if they wanted express housekeeping.
We'd booked one of the two-room suites (sitting area and separate sleeping area, and it worked out well. The room was very nicely sized. Room was fairly clean (and yes, the beds were made up when we returned to the room July 4).
Upon check out we had to wait for a clerk again.
Because of the "who gives a care" attitude of the staff, we'll try another place the next time we're in DSM.
We didn't eat the breakfast here either morning but it looked like the average continental offering.
