Detailed Reviews
We let Priceline choose our hotel in West Des Moines. For a great rate, Priceline gives you three possible hotels, and you roll the dice and let them pick it. We got the Extended Stay.
Positives:
1) Easy to find right off I 235
2) Easy check in...although everything is COVID up. All the lobby chairs and couches are stacked on one another. No exercise room usage.
3) Room is a great size! Nice big bathroom, bed was a queen, kitchenette..with full sized fridge. Breakfast bar with two seats. Living room area with smaller TV.
Negatives:
1) No ice machine on premises. Two little ice cube trays in the freezer. Yeah...that’s not going to fill up the cooler....
2) Very dated kitchenettes, the ovens looked straight out of 1975.
3) The pool was literally cemented in!
We were only staying in West Des Moines one night, so we really didn’t need all the bells and whistles, but this was a good roll of the dice hotel!

I was concerned after reading previous reviews but hotel exceeded my expectations. Staff was friendly. Room was clean. Room had all hardwood floors which was different. Hotel located in quiet neighborhood but close to shopping and restaurants. As I understand hotel was recently renovated and no longer allows smoking.

My wife and I stayed here overnight as we were going to a concert in Clive IA. We had booked this hotel through a Hotwire deal and acknowledged that we would just have to turn up and take what we were given. When we arrived, there was building work going on in the hotel which made the initial impression somewhat negative. Saying that, the staff doing the building work insured that they maintained a clean environment for customers to walk through etc. The staff at the desk were very helpful and accommodating (there was an issue with our booking which they resolved) and also provided restaurant suggestions.
The room was in good condition, we were on the first floor and there was little noise coming from outside. There was an air conditioning unit in the room which made a bit more of a noise, but nothing worth complaining about. The beds and bathroom were clean. We didn't use the kitchen but all looked in good working order.

We were in town for an event, but I had to understand that this was also Wisconsin's homecoming weekend so our regular hotel(Marriott or Comfort Inn) either had huge price increases due to the event weekend.
We found this hotel serviceable. If I was staying for business, it would work just fine. Kitchenette, fridge, two burners, microwave, sink. You can get cooking utensils and pots at the front desk.
This might not be the place for you if you are expecting a pool, fitness center, etc. But a decent night's sleep, it's pretty good.

On a cross-country trip, this is the first motel (including ESAs) that fell well below minimum standards for normalcy. The reception people were...not actually in reception half the time we were looking for them. The entire place REEKS of smoke (to such an extent that my dad, a smoker, complained). furniture in room was worn out and - in the case of my bed and an easy chair - broken. Really broken. Not like, scratched broken. Visible water damage in both bathrooms, and found hairs (not ours) stuck to one of the toilet seats when we entered the room for the first time. One of two area a/cs had visible mold growing in it, so we were scared to use it. I could go on and on, but the moral is: BEWARE. I am usually quite fine with cheap motels, but this one is really pretty bad. One bright spot is that it is walking distance to mall, Target, Walgreens, and other useful stores for a long-term stay. Oh, and there's a pool.

Super-clean, comfortable, friendly, and conveniently located near Valley West mall, many restaurants and several bus routes. Large rooms in shades of brown, divided into bath, kitchen, bed, sitting, and work/dressing. Good climate control. Free wifi sometimes slows, but upgrade available for a fee. Has all the amenities that you need for a good stay. A great value at $55 plus tax midwinter. Highly recommended.

Staff was nice but the rooms and hallways reeked of body odor stench and everything smelled musty. Our desk chairs came covered in semen and there was MOLD IN THE BATH TUB! There was an excessive amount of dust on everything and there was rust all over the sink and the bath tub drain which came with no plug. All appliances were completely outdated, and had dust and rust all over them. DO NOT RECCOMEND STAYING HERE!!!

Thank you for your review. Although we're glad to know you were pleased with the service provided by our staff, we apologize for the cleanliness issues you encountered while you were here. We strive to provide clean and comfortable accommodations for all our guests, and it seems that we fell short of this during your stay. We did have a meeting with our housekeeping department to see where we went wrong. We can absolutely do better and hope you will give us the opportunity in the future to prove that to you.

To be honest, I was expecting the worse when I landed this hotel from an opaque booking site. However, considering the low price, we were satisfied with our one night stay. The room was clearly recently remodeled and fairly clean. Most importantly, our request for a quiet room was honored with a corner room which was indeed fairly quiet. The room had a small queen bed and no amenities are provided. The grab and go breakfast of a few prepacked muffins and granola bars was also rather pathetic, but that is the norm with this chain. The wifi was also slow—almost to the point of being unusable, but we could overlook that given the decent sleep quality. With realistic expectations, you should have an acceptable stay.
