The worst hotel experiences I've ever had. They did not have both of our rooms when we for there reserved. Our rooms had pubic hair in the bed sheets. One of the rooms appeared to have feces on one of the sheets. We did get new bedding. Gum stuck to the wall. The hotel was also loud in the morning with workers beating on the roof. No shampoo or coffee in the rooms. Staff the night we checked in was not that friendly. The lady the next morning did what she could to make up for the stay which was a 30% discount off our stay. Do your research on this place before booking. PS the drug addicts were everywhere. Just not a safe feeling place on top of it all. There was also gum left on the wall. The kids didn't even want to shower before we left.

This rating is based on value. This is by far the best Motel 6 I have stayed at. Not my normal chain, but I needed a quick stay and this sufficed. Very clean room with the basics of what I needed. Nice sized room with comfortable beds. This location did have street noise, hallways smelled a little of smokers, and the pool was closed. None of these bothered me in regards to the good price I paid. Many entertainment and dining options nearby with theme park(seasonal), racing and gaming casino, movie theater, and outlet mall for shopping. Staff was very friendly. Check in and check out were super smooth and fast. Again, this is a no frills hotel, but for a quick place to crash for the night with nearby options, well worth the price.

I stayed here for just one night after a late night flight. I was quite impressed with the condition and amenities of the motel; it was much cleaner and well-kept than other Motel 6s I've utilized. It looks like the motel has recently undergone renovations; it now has a modern and trendy appeal to it and I really enjoyed it. Convenient location: right off of I-80 and it has groceries, restaurants, and entertainment nearby; Adventureland is right across the street. The only con to this motel, I think, is its placement. In order to reach the motel parking lot, you must drive through the parking lot of a truck stop/gas station and a diner. It's a little inconvenient and odd, but the motel is of great value for the price. Also, I stayed in a non-smoking room, but the hallway smelled of smoke rather heavily. EDIT: I stayed here again when returning to the airport. Still a great experience; however, the smoke smell remained.

See all

Searched for a place east of Des Moines via my Chase travel rewards, and saw that this one had good…read morereviews. And surprise, this is a new build! Don't know how long it's been open, but it's in a rather desolate area - Prairie Crossing, according to all the "Coming soon" signs posted about advertising new businesses/hotels/strip plaza to come. The inside lobby is very spacious with plenty of seating. A full bar to the right as you walk in (I'm assuming this is due to the sparse amenities around this hotel's freeway exit), more seating to the left (close to the breakfast alcove, and a nice big welcome desk to check in. I did take a peek at the indoor pool. It was nice and clean, towels folded in places in on wooden shelves, even had a left for ADA compliance which was a nice surprise. Our room was fluffin' huge! Based on the size, I think we were put in a handicap accessible room, but I'm not positive, as there wasn't anything outwardly saying "Hi, welcome to your ADA room"; even the bathroom had a tub, not a roll-in shower. At any rate, the room was clean and looked brand new, so obviously no complaints here! The nightly price was great ($95), and the morning included continental breakfast was pretty darn great, too. Your typical scrambled eggs and sausage patties, hot oatmeal, apples, and bananas, but it was nice to see a steam tray with tortillas and sausage gravy for breakfast tacos. I definitely recommend this La Quinta if you're looking for a place to stay on the west side of Des Moines. To get to this building, it is a bit convoluted, so pay attention to your phone/GPS. Easy access to/from I-80, a decent amount of parking, brand new, good price-point, you can't beat it.

This is our second stay here. Like staying here cause we can bring our doggy, and it's a nicer…read morehotel. Our only request is that they use something to cut out the smell/markings of the last furry guests. Our dog goes a little nuts when he first arrives. Our room was nice, mobility accessible. Breakfast and coffee the next morning were good. We brought ours up to our room. We will definitely stay again
