They had a car show going on so parking lot was full. Property looks very run down with little upkeep. Room was dirty, hair in sink, lotion on wall and lotion pump, cracked tile, missing grout. Smoke alarm had bright blinking light all night. Pool water was green. Peeling flooring. Pooling water just sitting on floor. Hallways had terrible smell including weed smell inside and outside property.

Comfortable and Quiet

I was traveling for business in the Des Moines area and stayed here. Commute to and from downtown Des Moines wasn't bad, with travel time around 20 minutes one way. The room was clean and quiet. The shower head didn't have a lot of power, but it got the job done and was the only negative from my experience. Overall, the hotel was great, and I will stay there again in the future.
