The hotel room was filthy, and the hospitality was terrible, couldn't get towels or blankets when we needed them. Typical for a 2 star hotel.

DON’T stop here! I’m tempted to get ahold of Iowa Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing and I’m generally laid back and not that observant!!

Although this Days Inn is reasonably priced and close to my family members in Des Moines, it lacks some amenities like a coffee-maker and/or facial tissues in the room. My room also had no cups for water, and the bottled water I put in the refrigerator froze! The room was also chilly in late May but had no way to adjust the temperature, except to make it colder. I did appreciate the free breakfast and the fact that free coffee was available at all times.

Location is dated, old. Everything worked as designed. A few amenities are cut back/ not offered. Acceptable for the reduction in room cost. Room is comfortable and clean. Stay was on Sunday night, minimal guests.

We’ve stayed here before, and we stayed here again because we knew it was basic. We just needed a place to sleep for the night. It’s nothing fancy, not the newest or cleanest.
