Hotels in West Des Moines, IA

“Great location, nice and clean, great staff. Smaller run of the mill room, but it was clean and did the job. REALLY chlorinated pool, so know that. Nice enough place for the price.”

“I wouldn’t say it’s the best. The rooms are really nice apart from it having no soap anywhere and there being blood on our bedding. Also I don’t recommend the breakfast. It’s the most flavorless chewy food ever. I just sat there laughing with my husband because the whole experience felt like being at an unwanted family gathering. Very awkward very gross. Side note the juices all tasted like water, just wanted to enjoy my apple juice lol. One last thing… if you don’t mind hearing the employees talking on FaceTime everywhere and the stairways smelling like weed then you’ll love it here…Food & drinks: ?”

“Rooms were spacious, beds were large and comfy, sheets were soft and cozy w.fluffy pillows. I loved the smell of the bath/soap/lotion products. The cocktails @ the bar were great & the restaurant had tasty bar food. Both the bar/restaurant and front desk staff were super friendly & nice but the morning van driver w.the baldhead not too much.”

“Amenity-forward, dog friendly hotel conveniently located near the highway. Area seems to be newer buildings, and the hotel seems to be part of that trend. Staff was nice enough when I interacted with them, though seemed inconvenienced by me wanting a physical key in addition to the mobile. Lobby area is beautiful, big and bright, so good first impression walking in.The not made-to-order breakfast items and coffee were room temp if not cold. Kind of disappointing, since the cooked item wasn't something I wanted on this particular morning.The room was spacious and new feeling. Shower seems to have been an afterthought from such a nice room design. Hope it isn't windy when you're staying, because while it's nice to have an opening window they aren't sealed properly and you'll have a whistling noise all night. On a cold night and morning, this also made it colder than the heater could keep up with. I'm also not sure why, but there was a smell of cat pee randomly in the bathroom and by the bed I didn't use (thank goodness).I booked a king room and ended up in a double queen. Not too big of a deal since I'm driving from Texas to Chicago and just wanted a good sleep and to do my work before my final leg, but if I were staying more than a night I would have said something since I specifically chose that bigger bed via direct booking in my Bonvoy app. I probably would stay again if just passing through, but not an extended stay of any kind especially if windy.”

“Excellent dog-friendly place! Love their breakfasts and they're always accommodating.Rooms: We had a double queen suite. The kitchenette was perfect for us. We needed the space and the mirrored closet was a blessing!”

“I am a Jewish American man who apon arrival at your establishment was ridiculed with hateful antisemitic slurs regarding my religious attire which I found disrespectful as I had done nothing to insure it, after being rudely escorted to my room and my bags crassly tossed onto the floor of my room. If that wasn't bad enough I requested room service the following day during a long period that I would be out of the room, and upon my return I see that room service had not been to my room, and when I inquired about the reason for this I was told quote ( can't you clean up after yourself?) Then they explained that my room hadn't been cleaned not because of under staffing or high quantity of business which would have been understandable but because they operate the expensive rooms like the one I stayed in on rotation to properly distribute tips. All that not even mentioning that the ac in my room was very dysfunctional and caused my room to be very hot the entirety of my stay and although the staff that eventually cleaned my room was polite and quick I believe her name was Jennifer who should be commended, I still regrettably will not be staying with this establishment anytime in the future and would highly discourage this as your choice.”

“This has become my go to hotel when I’m in Des Moines. The staff is amazing! I’m always struck by how kind everyone is. The rooms are quiet and clean and it has everything I need. Stevie, is an amazing front desk staff. She remembers my name and greets me with a smiling face every time I come! Thank you for the comfort experience.”

“This was my first time staying at a motel 6 since a lot of the other hotels were booked the weekend I traveled through Iowa for some reason. It’s not an extravagant hotel (nor does it advertise itself as one). It’s right next to a Marriott in corporate corridor, right off I-80. I arrived at 10 pm and felt pretty safe.The room and bathroom were clean and you can tell the hotel was recently renovated. I didn’t smell cats or pet odors like other reviews have said. The room was clean and very basic. (The ruffle in my photo of the bed was from me checking for bed bugs, there were *no* signs of them anywhere on the mattress)There was noise from the highway that I thought would keep me up all night, but turning on the fan on the air conditioner drowned that out all night. The shade was also basically a blackout shade so I didn’t get woken up by the sun.Water pressure was great, hot water didn’t run out, but bring your own toiletries.The one very difficult thing to deal with was the door to the room. This thing was heavy as **** and really hard to close. I have carpal tunnel had to use my hip to open the door it was so heavy and stuck. Getting it closed was really difficult and loud.The hallway was a little unkept but they have been doing construction and all the dust looked like basic construction debris”

“The hotel is obviously older but it was clean, the bed was super comfy too! The man who checked us in at night was fantastic. The pool was fun and had pretty lights but kinda had a weird smell but it wasn’t enough to deter us from enjoying it! It’s a nice place to stay for the price, we will be back!”
