Getting to the hotel was a little trickier than I would have liked since you have to twist and turn around other parking lots before you can get to the hotel. The indoor swimming pool was warm and clean. The deepest point is 5 feet, so the kids have fun flopping around without having to worry about treading water. The... more

The Sleep Inn is a good choice for travelers looking for a decent place to sleep in a convenient location. When we arrived late (10 pm), the two desk clerks were ready for us and very friendly. Our room (132) was large, with very comfortable beds (4 pillows each) and a large shower (no bathtub) with excellent water pressure. Everything... more

The front staff hardly had time to tell us where our rooms were. The room was very small and stuffy, the airconditioner didn't work, only hot air blowing, you couldn't adjust the temperture. The room had an odor to it, not sure if that was because they let dogs stay there. The breakfast was so crowed, and not a very... more

The hotel was very easy to find, and when we drove up to it, the outside appearance was nice. I made my reservation in advance, and it took about 30 seconds to check in with a friendly person at the front desk. I had requested a rollaway bed in my online reservation and it was waiting in the room when... more

We recently spent three nights at the Sleep Inn in Urbandale (Des Moines). The stay was everything we could have expected. Check-in was efficient and when I presented the confirmation printed at the time of making the reservation, the cleck said "Oh, you have three different rates for each of your three nights. That's not right. I'm going to give... more

This motel looks great from the outside and has a great location next to the Living History Farm. However, we were very displeased at the heavy disinfectant smell in the room (possibly because they allowed dogs in the rooms?) and the beds were very worn/saggy/squeaky. The shower also had a lot of mildew. Breakfast room was small so we had... more

I give the Sleep Inn Hotel an A+ for excellent front desk staff. The front desk staff is always willing to help you with any needs you have, whether it is finding something in the city or something in the hotel. The housekeeping is very polite. The rooms are what I found to be the far best. They are 100%... more

I recently stayed at the Sleep Inn at Living History Farms for leisure travel. The rooms and public areas were very clean. The decor in both the rooms and public areas is very plain and utilitarian, with a few homey details here and there. The hotel had a very nice indoor pool atrium. The beds were above average comfort for... more

Rooms are clean, staff is friendly, and is in a good neighborhood. Sits right next to Living History Farms just off of the interstate. The only knock is the traffic sound. more
