Just needed an affordable place to spend a night. Nothing fancy. Just needed a rest. Place was okay from all the other places I stayed before. Good thing the place didn't smell musty.

I checked in and left about an hour of watching people check in the windows of my truck, staff was unpleasant and disrespectful. A remodel doesn’t make up for the lack of house keeping either.

The rooms have been updated, but the overall place is run down. The lobby is just a desk behind glass and a row of vending machines. Beds were really uncomfortable.

I stayed last minute here because of being in Des Moines late. It was just myself and my grandaughter and i did not feel safe. Front desk lady said it was, but a lot of traffic with truck stop next door and you could hear the noise all night. Room looked newer but could tell it wasn’t done correctly. Gaps between flooring and tub ect. Hallway seriously needs updates as well as outdoors. Bed was comfortable but no other chair or couch in the room. Will not stay again.

The lock on the back door was gone, so anyone could get into the building. The water in the indoor pool was not warm. In the evening, the one ice machine for the entire building ran out of ice.

Floors were sticky in the room. Room was very humid and ac barely kept it cool. Public areas inside ( hallways and entrances) were not clean and did not seem to be very secure.

I booked 5 rooms. The front desk staff were behind glass which made it feel unsafe. Property was recently remodled and looked nice but beds were very uncomfortable and my guests didnt get good sleep. It was also very noisy from other guests. Would not recommend this property based on safety and comfort. It was a "you get what you pay for" stay.

I got a non smoking room, it reeks of smoke. The smoke alarm has a plastic bag wrapped around it. I notified the front desk and they said “maintenance isn’t here, nothing I can do” I feel like that is very unsafe, and she be taken seriously. There was people outside fighting, just didn’t feel like a safe motel.

The hotel was a little rough looking with some construction, but mostly was ok. Room lined up with the price point. Staff were very helpful and friendly. What made it an unpleasant experience was loud fighting in the hallway and then again in the parking lot by other guests at 3 am. Was coarse enough to scare me a bit.

This is a typical Motel 6.... if all you are looking for is a bed, then you are good. Do not reserve a king bed as they no longer have them after their remodel. Rooms are decent inside due to remodel but hallways and exterior are pretty dirty and dingy.

The room was clean but the property was more or less a flop house. There were homeless people living in the parking lot. The parking lot was being used as a repair garage there were vehicles in various stages of disassemble making parking difficult. There were broken beer bottles and syringes scattered throughout the property.

It was beautiful but some of pillows were on the desk and not the bed and there was a used washcloth on the floor and someone left a used charger block sitting on the desk. I know they r doing some reconstruction on the building inside.

For the price, it was an expected value. One of the night stands had electric plug-ins and a light that had no power. The wife was just below average for my taste. The ice machine situation was disappointing. The room was clean and looked like it had been updated fairly recently.

I needed a place with short notice, so I used your service to find something with good location at reasonable price. I reserved a basic room with King sized bed. What I got was a single room with a much smaller bed (not even Queen). The staff was friendly enough, but the room was not what I expected. It didn’t have a closet. The bathroom fixtures were pretty worn and they didn’t even have tissues or extra toilet paper in the room. It was pretty bare bones and not as advertised. I won’t be reserving a room at that location again.

It was awful. The bathroom was extremely tiny and claustrophobic. The sink wasn’t even in the bathroom. The room spelled horribly of bleach and made us all sick. We didn’t sleep at all. There was just 2 beds in the room, nowhere to sit to eat. We tried to open the window and could only open it a few inches to get fresh air and it had a few inches of black mold. It’s no wonder we were feeling ill.
