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.

Friendly helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms, nice breakfast choices and all for a low rate. We travel to Des Moines several times a year and usually stay downtown but I think this will be our new go to place it saves us $100 a night plus its only a 15 minute drive to the downtown area.

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!

Easy check-in, friendly staff, great breakfast options. One of the two treadmills in the fitness center was broken. Loved the size of the room.
