A little upcoming gem in Des Moines! The rooms are better than what you typically get for this price and they are upgrading the hotel to be an affordable boutique hotel in the area. The owner, Dennis, was very kind. If you are on a budget, definitely don't let the outside turn you away. Appreciated my stay.

The property was only accessible from one direction on a very busy divided street. Rooms were excellent. There was no cleaning of the room during my 5 day stay. The staff were very helpful courteous and friendly. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Worked very well for me.

Get what you pay for

We found the accommodations OK. We were in town for the State Fair and just needed an air conditioner, a bed, and a shower. The shower did not have much hot water or pressure. The air conditioning is a window unit, so it was a bit loud, but it did drown out the street noise. The room was clean and adequate for our needs, and the price was right. The facility is old and looks a bit sketchy, but the receptionist was kind, helpful, and friendly.

Disliked: Cleanliness
As a woman in my 20’s, I felt a bit on edge staying here but I knew what I was getting when I paid for it. My key card kept getting disabled each day and I had to keep getting new ones. The sheets appeared to be stained and we found a pair of dirty underwear inside of the bedding. If you stay here I would advise you to bring your own bedding and bath towels. It’s a decent place to stay if you need a temporary room to sleep in, but otherwise I would recommend staying elsewhere.
