When I arrived around 10:15pm, there was no one at the front desk. I waited for a good 20 minutes, turns out the ONLY desk staff was also shuttling people to and from the airport. Please address staffing issues. I found it kinda gross that the coffee appliances were in the bathroom. Bathroom was also not entirely clean.

Good value. Airport shuttle operates even after midnight. Essentially a high-end value motel. Perfectly fine for business travel. Rooms feel freshly remodeled with hardwood floors and brand new bathrooms. Halls still show the buildings age, but not an issue.

One person running the whole place including the shuttle. Ice machine said cleaning, which means not working. Breakfast was hockey puck biscuits and Luke warm gravy and microwave did not work. The whole building looked like it was recently involved in bankruptcy. Lobby looked bad and sparse furniture. I paid a lot of money for a dump!! Never again!!

Here’s a list of all of the issues with this property - bedroom floor was heavy scratched up, AC unit didn’t work and it was so muggy, the toilet seat was disgusting - permanent marks all over it, oily lubricant sex handprints on bed frame, stained blanket and sheets, flickering bathroom lights undried ceiling dry wall that had to be out in right before we arrived, and very loud banging and hammering directly above our room only to be told by the front desk that they are renovating the bedrooms above us. To make matters worse, the phone in the room was disconnected with the cords literally cut so I had to walk to the front desk (a very long walk from one building to another) and all they did was send someone to clean and redo the bed. All other issues they stated they’d have to wait until the following week. No other rooms were available at all. They also do not carry playpens for children. The electricity blew out for about 30 minutes at night, the outside of my window had nearly 20 nasty, old mattresses stacked up on the ground (blocking parking spaces) as the renovators tossed them out from upstairs. There is also a huge dumpster outside making it a huge eyesore for many guests. I do not recommend this place for anyone to visit.

The front staff gentleman was very nice and helpful. It appears to be an older building but they have tried to make it look very nice. The facilities worked great, ie.. air conditioner, shower, toilet and so on, sheets and towels appeared clean. Overall it just looked like it needed alittle more glue for baseboards and paint touch ups.

I booked this property because based on the reviews and pictures on Expedia, it was clean, updated, and safe. I certainly didn’t feel that way when I arrived. 1. There wasn’t anyone at the front desk, the place looked abandoned when I arrived, around noon on Saturday. 2. After receiving my keycard, I requested late checkout, this didn’t seem to be a problem, and the gentleman at the desk entered something into the computer to note my request. 3. Upon arriving in my room, the colors were not at all neutral like the photos, there was construction dust and debris all around, paint splatters throughout the property, including the shower, and bathroom, and the shower had dirt, and smears in it. The bed had black hairs under the covers. 4. Upon arriving back at my room before my late checkout time, I found one of the men who (I assume) works there (because nobody was wearing any sort of uniform or name tag), exiting my room. Why?! I requested late checkout, there was no reason for anyone at all to be in my room. This hotel seems unprofessionally run, unprofessionally renovated, noisy, and overall undesirable. While I am well aware that Des Moines Iowa may not be the ultimate travel destination for luxury accommodations, this property disappointed in so many way, and ultimately felt unsafe, unclean and unkempt. The greatest part, was that it was easy to make it back to the airport, and on Sunday, there was someone at the front desk to drive the shuttle there.

The property is quite rundown. There is no character or personality in the decor of the lounge. The check-in went smoothly, and then we were directed to the elevator, which was down a very long hallway. The premises were not taken care of the vacuuming needed done. The bed was great. The room itself was clean. The TV is very small. The breakfast was fairly good.

The place was dirty. Half of the building was being remodeled and nobody could be bothered to run a vacuum. The bed frame was broken so your feet were higher than your head if you laid down. The breakfast was very disappointing. Any school lunchroom would look like master chef compared to the scrambled egg pucks and microwaved sausage patties. The toaster didn’t work and the juice machine only spit out water. No coffee. The staff at the check in desk didn’t seem like they had ever been on the premises before. I asked for more towels because there were none at the pool. He acted like he had no idea where they kept them. While he went searching I watched him on the security camera screen mounted on the wall. Where I also watched the police escort a woman through the hallway on the way to their waiting cruiser out front. The full mariachi band complete with tuba practicing across the hall at 10:30 at night was a nice touch.
