There were some cleanliness issues that need to be cleared up. The building is obviously old but they seem to have done some renovations. There was some kind of mold build up in my shower drain, so I just skipped showering since it was just one night. The bedding was a little stained, so that was disappointing. And the furniture was also heavily stained. But over all, for the price I paid, it was as good as I expected. They so clearly clean the basic areas on a regular basis as there was no dust build up, the bed was perfectly made, and the floor was very clean. The staff was also very nice and accommodating.

Very nice and clean hotel. Rooms have been remodeled and it was a fraction of the cost of other hotels during the Iowa State Football game weekend.

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.

Outside area, building looks tired, in need of renewal. The room was beautifully renovated, very clean. Breakfast are was nice, good variety. Only suggestion is to install a safety bar in the shower/tub area as the tub floor was very slippery

i liked the welcoming texts. The room was clean and the bed linens simple and clean. The floor was tile and I appreciated THAT THERE WAS NO CARPET. I liked the big TV and watched a good movie. Breakfast bar was ample and well-stocked. OUTSIDE the building the parking lot was fine, but coL ncrete at both back entrances need repair. AL IN ALL - a good stop1
