Meh….

Room was fine and bed comfortable. One of the TVs did not work and hall smelled a bit funky. The pantry to purchase drinks and snacks was virtually empty which sucked.

I was blown away!

The cleanest, best-maintained “budget” hotel I’ve experienced. Our choice was based on location but the price was right and this was the only property in the area not rated below 6.5. I was blown away by the cleanliness and maintenance. 10/10! Our room was spacious and well designed and appointed. The property is inviting and feels like a resort three times the price. I travel light and fast and therefore I’m willing to sacrifice amenities for affordability. “No bugs/no mold” is my standard… and what I’m used to. This stay far exceeded expectations. I’ll look twice for Quality Inn and Suites from now on… but it’ll be hard to compare to Ankeny!

We enjoyed our stay, we were there for three nights. It was conveniently located for our needs. The rooms and property were very clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious with a nice bathroom. We enjoyed the commons area. It was bright with plenty of seating. We used this area to play cards at night and for the complementary breakfast. The breakfast was adequate. Two complaints. First, the air conditioning was loud and not effective. Our room was freezing but very humid. It had a clammy feeling and our towels didn’t completely dry. The WiFi was rarely working, therefore we could not use Netflix.

Did not feel comfortable in the room. The curtains would not shut so that meant i needed to change in the bathroom and then i was up all night with the lights streaming in. It was an okay stay. Not excellent and not comfortable. But clean and okay.
