This hotel will do in a pinch, but would pay a few more bucks to stay somewhere else. Clean, but loud and a stale cigarette smell permeated the halls. Breakfast was adequate, staff were nice, location is easy by the interstate. No elevator. Hotel is for sale and with a remodel it would be great. More

This was one of the few trips that we traveled to a dog show without dogs so stayed in a non-pet-friendly location. There were for sale signs in front of the building -- if it were sold and updated it would help the review. Pros: *Close to the Interstate for easy on and off. *Lots of fast food and family... More

If you are a senior and getting their discount, you can't beat the price. The facility is showing it's age, but it is very comfortable and improvements are being made. The staff is helpful and service is very good. Location is great for north Des Moines and close to resturants and shopping. More

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...
