This Quality Inn is a good motel...with an excellent location as the first motel off I-80 in north Des Moines, Iowa. The room was clean, newer items. It's an older building and you can see a couple places of it's age, but nothing to detract from a comfortable overnight stay. It has free wifi and a typical breakfast for these... More

Nice, easy-to-find location right off interstate. And close to both fast-food and family-style restaurants. No hot tub here, but pool was fine. Was some smoke drift-over from smoking rooms, even in non-smoking areas and hallways. Not enough to complain about, but not as nice as 100% free non-smoking hotels. Oh, and no waffles at breakfast. Bummer! More

We were in the area for one night and needed a place to stay. We also are trying to gain points for future travel so this hotel fit that qualification. Otherwise, we would not have stayed here and doubtful that we do again. (We had read the poor reviews.) The room was a non-smoking room but smelled of smoke and... More

I almost didn't book here since some of the reviews on this site discouraged it. But I'm glad I came to this hotel. It was a great stop for my family as we drove from Colorado to Michigan on I80. Person at desk was nice and quick. Rooms were clean. We were supposed to get 2 rooms, each with 2... More

I thought being part of the larger chain that included Comfort Inn, this would be a good hotel with a nice room and good hot breakfast. It wasn't. Check in guy was in a tee shirt and wearing some beads with a 'quality' shirt over it. He looked like he just came off the beach. He really was not front... More

I arrived on Thursday night the 8th of April, got to the front desk, the kid working didn't seem too interested to help me, didn't check any ID, didn't take my license plate number, didn't do any sort of security check, for all he know's I could have been an escaped prisoner about to take that hotel down, but he...

In a nutshell, you can find a better hotel for the same money. The towels smelled bad and made me want to reshower and drip dry. The bathroom was dirty - the vent had about 1.5 inches of dust on it. The water for bath/shower was luke warm. In the morning, there were ants swarming the snacks that I brought... More

Stayed on a Friday night when a volleyball tourney was in town - so hotel was full. But turned on the a/c fan, and noise was not an issue. Still had plenty of hot water for my shower the next morning, too. Also requested a room facing away from highway before I arrived - definitely do that! Breakfast and bed... More

This place was a little bit on the low end. The room was ok, beds were hard and had large dips in the middle. I felt like I was sleeping in a canoe. Bottom line it was ok for a place to crash for 1 night or in a pinch, but I've stayed in a lot better for the same... More
