satisfied our basic needs

  • Nance
  • May 6, 2012
We needed a place to stay one night near my son's college. This Travelodge fit the bill nicely. Beds were comfortable, room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was satisfactory, though rather limited. Only real complaint would be the fact bedside lamp would not work when plugged into lower outlet: forced us to choose between it or the digital alarm clock. Oh, and the fan in the bathroom didn't work, but we didn't really mind the sauna effect when we each had our shower in the morning.

The location is very noisy. Located at corner of busy major road and freeway. Major construction noise from across street. A/C kept going out and bathroom had urine smell. Good side - maid service great and staff very pleasant. Wouldn't stay there again though.

Downtown Des Moines

  • Kansas frequent traveler
  • May 20, 2012
The Hyatt Place in downtown Des Moines has a great location, within walking distance to all downtown activities. The room was very comfortable and spacious. The only issue I had was that access to the sky walk was limited from the hotel, and you couldn't access it after 6 PM.

Came for a weekend away from home to do some shopping and dining downtown. Had a great stay, very friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms, overall excellent experience. Only complaint was the digital cable going out during a storm, but there is nothing that could be done about that. :)

Perfectly comfortable, convenient to the airport. 5 minute shuttle ride, very punctual. Very nice that they set up breakfast very early (4 am) to accommodate travelers. Pleasant, accommodating staff. Internet connection didn't work very well, but that may have just been me.

Good night stay.

  • jmf1385
  • Feb 23, 2012
The hotel is very nice and the beds are comfy if you like a firmer bed. The staff was amazing and they even let us heat up leftovers for my 17 month brother using their breakroom microwave. The pool area was clean and the pool was warm. Only thing I found that I didn't like was that it was kind of out in the middle of nowhere, but give it a few years and I think there will be things around it.

The stay was just overnight for a concert and if we had stayed longer I would have asked for another room. When I laid down on the bed it sounded like a spring broke. The room was clean but the paint job was horrible with wall paint all over the trim work and HUGE overspray on the outside of the window!

Good hotel for the money.

  • NursingMickey
  • Nov 7, 2011
There was nothing fancy about this hotel, but a very fair price for the stay. We stayed at this motel while spending the weekend in Des Moines to do some Christmas shopping. We were not in the room for a lot of the time, but found it to meet our needs just fine. The hot tub was HOT and that is hard to find anymore. The front desk was friendly. The room and hallways were clean. Excellent water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was basic with waffles, cereal, fruit, and muffins. I would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a clean room at an affordable rate.

Good Overnight Stay

  • Erika
  • Jun 14, 2010
The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the stay was pretty much uneventful and quiet...just what I needed. My only complaint was that the shower faucet was difficult to operate and it seemed as though it was on the verge of breaking.

Clean, good price perfect for families

  • Lauralie
  • Jun 4, 2007
The room was clean and well maintained. The staff was very nice and this was a good deal for the money for a family of 3. We traveled with a 3 year old and needed to have a microwave and refrigerator and we were easily accommodated. The Bennigans restaurant as part of the hotel was a wonderful. The mall is within 5 minutes driving distance. We enjoyed our stay.

Nice pool space

  • Travelin with kids
  • May 14, 2012
Comfortable beds. Lovely pool with towels available. Wish there had been at least enough coffee for two cups. Room was clean. Bathroom is small but has a nice shower head. Missed having a mini fridge. Comfy reading chair and little table. Only complaint is that doors in the hall latch so loudly that they kept waking me p because I thought someone was opening and closing our door.

Good value in Des Moines

  • First Time in Iowa
  • Nov 7, 2010
Hotel staff were nice; especially the hotel shuttle driver who picked me up from the airport. Very accomodating and helpful to a first timer to Iowa. Very helpful information guides, and guest services directory. Business center was nothing to brag about but functionally it was just fine. Hotel isn't too far a walk or drive from the 'main' downtown area but be warned that there isn't much commerce around the hotel itself. Hotel room itself was nice but bed wasn't too comfortable; but if you prefer a harder bed then it might be your thing. Could have just been my room but what I know is that my back wasn't feeling too good in the morning. (I traveled to another city in Iowa the next day and I didnt have this problem with the hotel I stayed in...there IS a difference!) Overall, depending on what you are coming to Des Moines for, its not exactly the Shangri La but this is a great value for/ near the downtown area.

Decent Inn

  • nikonichi
  • Jun 28, 2010
The only negative was the hotel's location combined with Des Moines marginal public transportation system. A six-block street closure shortened one bus route by over 70%. In other cities the bus would have been rerouted around the closed streets.

Decent room, tough location

  • Anthony
  • Sep 19, 2007
Quality Inn was a good value for the money; the rooms were a nice size, friendly staff, smooth check in. I know it's a little thing, but they had decent vending options for a late-night check in like me. It wasn't spotless, but not overly dirty. The hardest part was getting to the entrance with all the one-ways in the area, but all of Des Moines downtown is like that and I've spent ten minutes getting to other places there, too. Still, a larger, clearer entrance sign, and maybe some signage on the surrounding streets, might help.

We stayed in a pool side room with 1 adult and 4 children ranging from 3 to 17. I was a little worried due to how inexpensive it was but it was very clean and roomy. The bathrooms were spotless. And the water park area was fantastic! The slides and pirate ship kept all 4 of the kids busy for hours. It was only 10 minutes from AdventureLand but 1/2 the cost of the closer hotels and so much, much better (speaking from experience)

short weekend

The room was nice, but when we looked up at the ceiling we could see dust bunnies on it. Every once and awhile cleaning staff should look up. Over all it was quiet.

The price was cheap, however, the hotel is in very poor condition with outdated equipment. And the HBO advertisement is false... Overall, it was a SORRY experience!

Walls constructed from paper.

For the price it was a completely acceptable hotel to stay in. The staff was very nice and courteous. The rooms were clean and everything was in order. the area around the DSM Airport has all the shopping and restaurants you would need. My big complaint was the walls were so thin you could here the conversations of the left, right, and the neighbor above you. One night I hardly slept because the people above me decided to pace the night away and drop stuff on the floor 40 times. I decided not to complain to the hotel staff because what can they do about it anyway. But be warned if you have the misfortune of getting loud guest next to you, you can forget about sleeping.

the staff was very nice and helpful. The bed wasn't the best but it served it's purpose. I will more than likely be starting here again.

Desk ckerk needs to work on her customer service skills.

  • Midwest Nice

We asked for a room on the top floor and we got a first floor room near the icemaker. The desk clerk clearly had little interest in incorporating our room location preference into where she placed us.

An Awesome Stay!

I was in DES Moines for a baseball game. This hotel was an absolute delight. The best I have ever enjoyed. Wish I could have stayed a month! Room was immaculate... Modern design... Very comfortable chairs and bed... Just perfect. The breakfast was a huge surprise... Not donuts and juice, like most places... Quiche in a hotel breakfast bar? Just awesome! Staff were great. Wish I were there tonight!

great weekend getaway

Second stay at this hotel, close walk to good restaurants in the Court district always felt safe even with very few people walking in the area. The staff are great, friendly and attentive. We did not use the spa but the breakfast was great, the chef used vegetables from his own garden for the omelets, nice touch. Don't miss the Farmers market Saturday morning better than most we have been to.

confussion

  • May 22, 2011
We attended a graduation and visited relatives.But when we checked out the credit card nor address matched ours. The amount of motel charge was much cheaper. So My husband went back in to question this only to be told we would be charged the higher amount from [...]and that was their credit card number and address. So you make $20 that we could have saved just by calling and making our own reservation.
