Bathroom in the room was still dirty with old hair and stuff stuck to the bottom. A few stains on the sheets. Overall not a bad place when you need a bed and shower for a few days. But I feel like I overpaid for what I received.

This is an older facility that has been remodeled. It was the cheapest on the internet so I wasn't expecting much more than cheap. Owners have done a very nice job of rehabilitating the rooms. My room was clean and simple. I wanted a bed, shower, toilet and that's what I got. Not amazing, but you're not paying for amazing. People that rate this place poorly are expecting more than they are paying for. If you want nice, then pay more. If you want a bed and a shower, this place is for you. I wouldn't plan a weeks stay here, but for a night or two, it fits the bill.

For the value it’s a good bargain. Would have liked more than 2 towels and would have been nice if there were some real breakfast items instead of store bought cold items or high sugar processed foods.

I was good. I just needed a location in Des Moines/ Ankeny from which to run a couple of errands. It served the purpose. A clean room, a good bed, wifi and pet friendly is all I require.
