Neither my husband or I smoke but when we entered the King non-smoking room it was obviously that it had been smoked in. There were stacks of towels, seemingly clean, on the bed and the table. We were only staying one night so just left it alone. We were on our way out of the hotel, to a party, when... More

Read the reviews below and you will think this is a bad place. Well you will hear from me that at the prices available it is just fine. Seems like people are wanted a steakhouse venue when they are visiting Mcdonalds. You get what you pay for. So if you want a cheap hotel to sleep and have hot coffee... More

This hotel was one the worst we have ever stayed at. The non-smoking king room we stayed in had a damp carpet and smelled like some one had definitely smoked in there. My husband and I both never have problems with allergies but that night we coughed almost continuously and ended up with irritated throats the next morning. The king... More

Usually I give as positive reviews as I honestly can, but this one will not be positive. To start with, the room was not clean. The carpeting was damp and within a few minutes of being in the room, I was accosted by a cricket and several flying insects. There were stains on the bathroom door, the walls, and even... More

This motel was nothing exciting but was acceptable. We did have to walk through a hot hallway to our hot room which took a rather long time to cool. The carpet was not horrible but definitely not clean. The stairs and the walkway need some major repair. I did feel safe with my kids which was very important for me.... More

What could have been a very bad experience at the Travelodge, Des Moines, IA, turned into a wonderful stay thanks to Mr. Young Kim, General Manager. I had made our reservations through CheapMotels.com. and the cost of the room had been immediately debited from my checking account. But, when we arrived at the motel there was no record of my...

I've stayed here at 3 times since December of 2010 and it was a nice experience each time. My husband and I travel for work most of the year and to cut cost we economize. This hotel has very nice staff, the wifi is great, if you need like we do for work. The rooms are not the fanciest, but... More

I've stayed here several times. It's a little tired, not trendy at all, but it works. Wifi's always worked, rooms have been clean and comfortable, with a frig, microwave, and desk, and I enjoy their breakfast. They have tasty biscuits and gravy, waffles, and plenty of the regular continental breakfast items. Friendly staff and also very near I-80. More

Hotwire booking at 2 1/2 Star. This is a solid 1!!!! Very disappointing. Side walk is patched, poor lighting in entry, Older units not updated. Felt creepy. 1950's look to reception. Room and furniture in terrible condition. Worn Out everything. DO NOT STAY. More

This place was horrible...we booked on Hotels.com and when we got there they didn't have a place for us. They finally found us a room and we took our key to unlock the door and there were people in that room. We requested smoking so they gave us another room....which turned out to be NON smoking. So they moved us... More
