Get what you pay for

We found the accommodations OK. We were in town for the State Fair and just needed an air conditioner, a bed, and a shower. The shower did not have much hot water or pressure. The air conditioning is a window unit, so it was a bit loud, but it did drown out the street noise. The room was clean and adequate for our needs, and the price was right. The facility is old and looks a bit sketchy, but the receptionist was kind, helpful, and friendly.

As a woman in my 20’s, I felt a bit on edge staying here but I knew what I was getting when I paid for it. My key card kept getting disabled each day and I had to keep getting new ones. The sheets appeared to be stained and we found a pair of dirty underwear inside of the bedding. If you stay here I would advise you to bring your own bedding and bath towels. It’s a decent place to stay if you need a temporary room to sleep in, but otherwise I would recommend staying elsewhere.

While the rooms was okay, there were a couple of things that would have been helpful. Firstly, there was no listing of restaurants near the motel which would have been nice. There was a television that worked, but there was no listing of the local TV stations or any kind of guide. The shower, while good, was not checked prior to my arrival as the shower was out of shower gel even though there were built in containers for the gel in the shower. Another thing that I was not pleased with was the lack of a receipt. I specifically asked for a receipt and was told I could not get one from the staff at the check-in desk. I was told to go online to get the receipt. I found this to be unacceptable and asked, specifically, for a receipt. The staff member finally printed off a receipt from an online page. Not providing a receipt was totally unacceptable and is probably a defining condition as to whether or not I would return to the motel if I was in the area again.

Bring a can of tuna for the local cat!

Others have pointed this out already and it is true. The rooms are nicely renovated. The exterior could use some work. The owners are putting in a serious effort to bring it up to speed. Further, they are kind and considerate people. One ask, do a stranger a favor and feed the local cat. Or if you can bring him to Animal Services at 1441 Harriet Street, that would be even better. He can get his shots, be nuetered and adopted. The poor guy was screaming outside my room during a rain storm. I forgot my card in my room when I went out to help him. So I spent a few hours in the stairwell keeping him company. When I was able to get the keys to my car from my room and find the drop of (cats don't always do great in cars outside a carrier) I was unable to find him when I returned. Hopefully someone is caring for him in the nearby neighborhood. But if you see him and are able please bring him to the shelter on Harriet street.Winters in Des Moines are cold. He is very friendly and would make a great pet for a lucky family. Thank you, Ryan from Rhode Island

The property was only accessible from one direction on a very busy divided street. Rooms were excellent. There was no cleaning of the room during my 5 day stay. The staff were very helpful courteous and friendly. It was close to restaurants and shopping. Worked very well for me.

The area is horrible, the rooms smell like humidity, my wife has asthma and we had to leave without having used the rooms, after that the owner does not answer the phone to Expedia because he does not want to return the money, we are not picky, we did not expect a luxury hotel, we just wanted to sleep, my wife and I are riders, we have stayed anywhere except where there is humidity for a medical issue and it is not fair what these people do as if it were a poison, the environment in the parking lot was dangerous!
