“Smelly, Dirty, and "Doggy" - a 1 star hotel in it's current condition (at best)”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011

After a long day of traveling, my toddler son, pregnant wife, and myself arrived at this hotel ready to get some rest, enjoy the hotel, and refresh ourselves for another on the road. We arrived to find the entryway smelly and unappealing (there was no front-desk - just and office desk in a side room), and the hallways smelly and out of date. The room wasn't much better. The room large enough and it did have a nice layout and studio style setting with a small kitchen, however, the room smelled, the bed was very uncomfortable, the mattress stained, and the carpet and furniture looked very dirty. I could see dirt stains on the couch cushions. On top of this, the hotel did not have any cribs or any accommodations for our son to sleep.

My pregnant wife just couldn't handle it, since she was very tired and knew she would not get any good sleep, so had to cancel our reservation and find another hotel. On our way out, a lady with a HUGE dog kept walking in and out of the hotel - I'm assuming this may account for some of the smelliness of the hotel if they allow pets to stay. It looked like the lady may actually be staying there long-term.

One positive thing about the hotel was the staff. The lady at the front desk was very gracious when we canceled (she's actually the only one we met), although she could not completely refund our money because we had reserved the hotel through Priceline - which brings me to my final point.

The price we paid on Priceline appeared to be a good deal for a two-star hotel, however, I would say the hotel is a one-star at best (in present condition). I normally have had very good success with Priceline, however, I would suggest they drop this hotel from their website until improvements are made to this hotel. If the hotel is not dropped from the Priceline site, they should certainly downgrade the hotel from a two star to a one star.

“Great accomodations for the money!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 November 2010

I visited the Des Moines area last summer while on vacation, and I stayed at the Studio Plus. I was very satisfied with the establishment. I got a great rate for the room, and the staff was very courteous. The fact that the room had a full size stove/oven and refrigerator made me feel like I was at home. I had checked out a day earlier than expected, and I received a refund for the day and I was not expecting it. Thanks. A++++++

“just what i was looking for.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 October 2010

The Studio Plus was nice, very pleasant staff. The Hotel is an extended stay, so we had a kitchen with full fridge, stove and an oven. We had a smoking room and it was clean and did not smell like smoke, which was surprising. Also we were on the third floor so it was nice to open the window and let some cool air in. There were a few things that could use some attention, like the tub did not drain well and the tub creaked when you stood in the shower, also the little loveseat/sofabed was a little worn. There were no pots/pans in our room, but the staff took care of that as soon as we notified them. They also have more that one entrance which stay locked all the time so you use your room key to open them.

“Feels like home!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 August 2010

I have stayed at this Hotel many times over the last 10 years. They are always pleasant and professional. I really enjoy the rooms and the amenities that are available. The location is near major shopping areas and there are several 4 star restaurants in the immediate area!! When I travel, I always look for this type of accommodation!! Studio Plus is at the top of my list!! I recommend this hotel to anyone looking for "Home Style" accommodations.

“Smelly hotel in a state of disrepair.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 July 2010

The service was friendly, but the room smelled terrible. The halls smelled smokey. The room had several things broken and was really in a poor state.
