The room was clean and the staff friendly. It is an old motel but was perfect for a quick stay while on the road as it is inexpensive.
This was a no frills place to stay but the room was nice and the front desk guy was friendly. If you are looking for a cheap but nice place to stay, check them out.
Very nice room big comfortable bed very big TV had a refrigerator and a microwave and pretty clean it was very comfortable

A little upcoming gem in Des Moines! The rooms are better than what you typically get for this price and they are upgrading the hotel to be an affordable boutique hotel in the area. The owner, Dennis, was very kind. If you are on a budget, definitely don't let the outside turn you away. Appreciated my stay.
