The price (Through Orbitz) was fairly competitive for the downtown area of Des Moines, IA. Considering what the other hotels charge in the area, this was more than fair. -- cheaper than most, but had a bit more to offer than a couple of the inns that were less. It was Clean, comfortable, etc. Breakfast was outstanding. The pool was extremely freezing! That was really the only "glitch" in the system.
Trip was great, the woman who checked us in was very friendly and told us about a few different promotions that the hotel had going. Breakfast was above expectations and was very enjoyable. I stayed with a group of people and the overall experience was worth what we paid. Definitely recommend!
It's a bit overpriced in my book but it did the job.
We stayed during the eagles concert in September. So close to the venue. We were very impressed. Good restaurant too. Will definitely stay again.
We attended Eagles concert in Sept. Excellent location. Nice, clean motel. Good restaurant. We will be back.
For a "value hotel" this exceeded my expectations. It was close to downtown & bars, had an excellent breakfast, and the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The temperature in the room was easily controlled.
This hotel was the perfect location, price, and atmosphere. My room was on the top floor overlooking the river and the capitol. What a view! Breakfast was delicious and the staff were uber friendly. I had an issue with my rental car auxiliary chargers and one of the front desk gals not only helped me figure it out, but charged my GPS in her personal vehicle overnight so I could use it. I'd stay here again for sure.
It was great, staff is nice. the breakfast is wonderful. it close to the event center.would stay there again. The pool was nice as well. Overall this hotel is great for the price and its great if you need to walk over to the event center. the beds are good the staff is nice and the food is great.
About what I expected. They do have a bar on-site, which is a plus. Walking distance to downtown. The view exceeded my expectations. Ask to stay on the east side and you'll get a view of the river, the Zen garden and the glowing golden capitol at night.
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.
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.
