They are currently remodeling the outside of the motel. The room was as nice or nicer than hotels twice the price.

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.

Inexpensive stay in a location with easy access to the downtown. I'll stay there again.

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.

This is definitely an older motel that's showing it's age, but the rates are cheap and the owners are VERY polite and accommodating and the rooms are very clean. Normally I would be skeptical about an old "mom & pop" motel, but it really surprised me! I can't stress enough that this is a "no frills" motel, but again it's clean and you will NOT find any bugs or anything like that and the mattresses are new and comfortable. If you are expecting the MARRIOTT then go stay somewhere else because im sure someone will still have something to complain about! I would definitely stay her again and they are going to be doing some remodeling. Thanks guy's

Very nice hotel that has been updated on the inside, just not the out. However, don't let that detour you from booking this hidden gem.

The folks who own and run the place are very gracious, and accommodating. It wasn't at all what I expected. They keep it neat and clean. You can tell there is new ownership. Compared to past visits, it is much, much better.
