Wish I could have found another hotel and got my money back, the room smelled, the bed and pillows were hard and the front desk called on my check out day at 10 a. M. And said to have 1 hour to get out! Never again!

Palace Inn Des Moines
Hotel room very outdated....shower head was old and I needed to do a backbend to get hair wet. Room smelled a little musty when we checked in. We had to make a hasty departure though, due to sewage smell in the room. Seemed to get worse after we used the shower. Quiet area, we got good sleep. I can see why it was rated only 2.6 out of 5...you usually get what you pay for, but in this case $78.00 for the smell of sewage is waaaay too much for my taste.
