My husband and I were impressed with the friendly service and kindness of the staff, particularly the front desk and manager.  During the night, my husband who is diabetic, needed a snack because his blood sugars were too low.  The front desk staff person unhesitatingly gave us a piece of fruit from his personal lunch when I asked for something from the breakfast buffet area (it was closed for the night).  This act of kindness was greatly appreciated because it prevented my husband from having problems with regulating his blood sugar.  The entire facility was clean, smelled fresh and the breakfast was great.  We felt safe and there is quick access to the interstate. We will definitely stay at this location again!

Kind and Caring Staff!

Where to start...

wobbly metal rear staircase makes you think you're about to tumble down them every time you take a step. 

The step down inside the room is ridiculous. They either need to get taller doors, so they reach the floor like normal hotels or extend the platform, so you have space to put your bags down and look instead of struggling to feel where it's at with your foot. 

Supposedly a nonsmoking hotel but cigarette burns in the blankets. 

Charges more than the room rate as a so called 'security' deposit, then taking days to return the money unless you paid in cash. 

Not as clean as it could be. Shower seriously needed a scrub. 

There are far cheaper hotels, with no needless deposits, no steps that nearly kill you and no odd drop offs into rooms. Oh and those hotels have continental breakfast, instead of expecting you'll go over to the nearby caseys for food. I've stayed at some really nice red roof inns in the past...this wasn't one of them.

bleh

As always I base my rating vs. the price paid for the room. This was an economical motel but the grounds and room were both clean and presentable. Breakfast was also offered which isn’t always found in motels offering low priced rooms. There was also parking for my trailer which was a plus. Might have rated a 5 but the owner wasn’t the most friendly person. She may have been having a bad day?  I would come back.

Everything as described. Issue free stay.

This is a great hotel if you have pets. There is no extra pet fee. The staff was very nice. It didn’t seem to be super updated but it served our purpose of having a pet friendly hotel with a pool for our kids. When we first got there my husband thought floors seemed dirty so I did wipe with a Clorox wipe and it was dirty but I just did a quick wipe down. 

Weekend getaway 

Parking space AND hall doors to room. Clean, seems like recently refurbished. Quite fast wifi for a motel. The 2 queen room had plenty of room to walk past someone working at the desk unlike some 2 double bed rooms at other RedRoofs. The usual micro and fridge. Also ironing board, iron and luggage rack. Best snd largest TV we’ve encountered at a RedRoof. This experience was the total opposite from our horrendous experience at the Lansing, IL RedRoof. Here in Des Moines, they serve breakfast, have a coffee maker in the room and a guest laundry. The area is contiguous with a neighborhood so very nice for dog walking.  There are gas stations and fast food places nearby, but you won’t need it for breakfast as the breakfast at the motel is terrific.  Cold cereals, biscuits, eggs, sausage and waffles. Toast also,  apple and oj.  Coffee machine broken but there is coffee in the rooms.

Terrific RedRoof with great breakfast

Please do not stay here.  The Staff was rude, unprofessional and disrespectful.   There was no cleaning service. The Hotel Rep was cleaning the rooms with non-commercial cleansers.  Continue to scroll and select another hotel. There are better options out there.

Skip this and keep Scrolling

Went last Sunday for my sons birthday lunch. 

This place needs to have its carpets cleaned. 

Our waitress was quite good and attentive. Boy has this place raised their prices. 

My husband steak was rare, sent it to cook more but his shrimp had no flavor

Way too expensive for portion size

Good place for a rest that's also pretty friendly. The bed and pillows are comfortable and the room was clean. 
Thanks to Manisha at the front desk for her assistance during my stay. 
Toilet is kind of cramped, so this may be a problem if you are larger.

Good place for a rest that's also pretty friendly.

Gal at check in was friendly and got me a ground floor room. I can enter from the hall yet park at my outer door to drag all my stuff inside. I don't see this setup very often and I like it.
Room equipped with micro, fridge, n' coffee maker. OK shower. No breakfast, or any other "out of room" amenities - which is just fine as none were advertised or implied and cost was reflective of this "budget style" motor inn. 
2 downsides: Xtra $100 charge on my card for "incidentals". This charge remained as pending well into the next week, making me a bit nervous. At other motels that do this, the charge never shows up or is removed or credited the next day.
Loved the room but, my bed, although clean n' fresh, wasn't the best - actually kinda bad. Needs upgraded.

2 door rooms . . . Nice!

Room appeared clean, but the entire hotel smells stale. I believe they have long term residents. It is pet friendly and in a neighborhood where you can walk your dog. And now I’m adding words to get to the minimum.
