This hotel was a big disappointment and I wouldn’t recommend booking a room here. The hallways were dirty and looked as if they hadn’t been vacuumed. There were stains on the carpet and the pool was closed, which was annoying considering that’s why I picked a hotel with a pool. On the website it states there was a coffee pot in the rooms which wasn’t the case, there also wasn’t a blow dryer for convenience. The beds were uncomfortable and I didn’t like the back door entrance didn’t require a key card to get into the building. Literally anyone could get in the hotel. Trying to save money and staying at a cheaper rate isn’t always the best idea. Next time I visit Des Moines I plan on staying somewhere cleaner/safer.

This is the kind of motel that not too long ago would have cost you about $58 to stay there. That's still what it's worth, but it'll cost you twice as much. So low budget the floorboards have 1/2" spaces between them in sections - that's how much care was taken.

Stay was inexpensive and good enough for one night. Staff were courteous at check in. No elevators (only stairs) to second floor. Being next to a truck stop there was some evening noise but that settled down during the night. There was a surprise 50$ deposit required that was refunded a few days later as they promised.

Outside was dirty, run down, inside did not look like the picture there were no kitchen accessories, not even a light bulb in the desk lamp. The room was dark. The towels were like sand paper. Very disappointed.
