Value Place Des Moines Ankeny Reviews

Overpriced and so totally NOT worth it. Will never stay there again, nor would I recommend it to anyone else. While they offer the "kitchenette", they don't offer any dishes or cooking supplies, yet are all too willing to sell you these items at inflated prices. They don't even offer a coffee pot...gotta buy that too. Thankfully, I had called in advance and found out they offered little and brought my own stuff. But, for rooms of this price, I would have expected more....a couch or chair and at least a desk area. Nope. Room staff have also been trained to basically answer nothing and state that you need to talk to the manager....who is never quite available.

This hotel was OK overall, but it suits weekly business travelers better. My family with 2 children would have loved a pool, and I would have liked the front desk to be open later. The essentials are provided, but nothing extra. I think this is the model for this facility and that's fine, but you would want to know that ahead of time (I knew this ahead of time, but discovered I liked more amenities!) It was clean enough, and the bed was pretty comfortable, and all we did was sleep there. I found myself worrying if the front desk would be open to obtain more soap and more toilet paper. If I got back to late, I'd be out of luck.
