“Old Dorm Room and Grungy”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 March 2011

I have stayed in a Springhill Suites that was modern and very nice. It was newer than this location. The positve-friendly desk staff. Everthing else-from the room to the breakfast was poor. It did seem like the building was a former dormitory turned into a hotel. The room was dingy, especially the tub/shower/bathroom. The sink was separate from this room. The breakfast attendant was slow about keeping the waffle batter filled and people were dipping cups into it (major health code violation) and the entire time we were there-never replinished the eggs/sausage. Try to find a better hotel in the area, there are plenty of other choices.

“VERY UNCOMFORTABLE BEDS!”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 February 2011

Our recent stay was marred by 4 interrupted painful nights of sleep. We politely complained after two nights & they would see what they could do. When asked for an eggshell mattress or replacement one they said they would leave message with next personnel on duty. One side of the bed seemed improved & the other worse. We called, we said we thought all they had done was flip the mattress. The only offer was after 3 nights paying for pain, another room available...our last night. We declined that great offer as it was too much work for 1 nite. We requested some type of a discount.( I told them I slept in the chair at times). We were only offered $10.00 after staying 4 nights since we declined the move for our LAST NIGHT! DIDN'T LIKE PAYING FOR PAIN! Oh, one also had to wait & take down dirty towels at times to receive a clean one. Great customer service! NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“Just What I Expected. No More, No Less.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 February 2011

The physical plant is standard SpringHill Suites. Nice little sitting room and a smallish bedroom. No restaurant. No bar. No excitement at all. Located several miles West of Des Moines and about 10 miles from DSM. (The Marriott at DSM is less costly and much better run.) There are at least four other Marriott properties within 1/2 miles of this SpringHill Suites. Why there would be any hotels in this suburban desert at all is beyond me.

You will not be surprised at anything about this place....either positively or negatively.

The pricing can vary greatly from night to night. Sometimes $50, sometimes $125.

“Dirty & Awful Experience, Never Staying at a Springhill Again”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2010

Everything was fine until the morning of our stay. After filling up the whirlpool, we turned it on to find suds and hair come shooting out of the jets. We immediately got out to take a shower only to learn that only cold water was available. When we asked the front desk about it, they indicated that there had been some issues with the water main...I understand that it is out of your control, but why were we not warned about it when we checked in. The whirlpool really makes me question how clean the rest of the room was. I don't think I will still at this Springhill hotel or another again....

Dear Trip2642,

Thank you for your review; I appreciate your comments and hope you will accept my sincerest apologies for your experience in the whirlpool. Please know this is not typical of the level of cleanliness we pride ourselves on providing, and that this is being addressed with the entire housekeeping team, management included. My apologies as well on the water main issues; we were definitely remiss in not making you aware at check in. Please know that this experience is not standard of our hotel, or any other SpringHill Suites or Marriott hotel – I truly hope you will give SpringHill Suites another try in the future. One again, my apologies.

Yours truly,

Jessica Hill, General Manager

“Good experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2010

We only stayed here one night and were pleased with the size of the room and the cleanliness. We liked the sitting area, frig and other nice touches. The staff was very courteous and helpful when we were looking for a place to eat dinner. The breakfast buffet was as good as can be expected and met our needs. This is a great place!
