Price was great, surrounding area of restaurants was great. So far as our room not the best leaking ceiling in the bathroom area where water was constantly puddling, mold behind the door. Room wasn’t the cleanest & the smell was not the best. There was kids running around the hotel constantly, so noise control was non existent.

There was FAR TOO MUCH & WAAAYYYY TOO MANY instances that transpired during my family vacation stay this past weekend @ Wyndam Garden Ankeny/Des Moines hotel, but I will certainly highlight a plethora of situations, so that maybe I can save someone else from the same experience as myself & my family. For the sake of transparency, please take note, as this is a 100% TRUE, honest & fruitful review of our experience with this hotel. 1. We arrived to check-in to our "poolside room" location so we could get the party started. We loaded down the luggage cart just about to the tippy-top, checked in, got the keys, start down the hall only to realize

Breakfast at the attached diner was very pleasant. The 3 free choices offered (cooked to order) or the option of $5 off any menu item was a nice change from the standard cereal, waffle station, steam table eggs.

Each bed came with two small pillows. We asked for extra pillows twice and did not get any. The shower had very low water pressure and did not drain. The outlet in the bathroom did not work. The place was fairly clean but not up to the expectations for the price.
