Motel 6-West Des Moines IA

Pleasant

Okay . . .

Liked: Only room open i the area.
Disliked: Odd showers, lights not working (irony?), halls needed updating and cleaning, rooms had been redone but doors were old, parking lot was a mess, rusty railing, slooooooow elevator.

I'll never stay here again....

Disliked: Room was very spare, but clean enough. No remote control for the TV - I had to go to the front desk and request it. The phone in the room (to call front desk) was broken. When I arrived, the front desk person was out front hanging out with her boyfriend (?). She saw me come in, but it took her at least 5 minutes to come inside and ask what I needed. Unbelievable. And....the grounds were in disrepair. Cigarette butts everywhere. Just gross. And...the air conditioning/heating unit was not working properly - turned on and off every few minutes and kept me up all night. I couldn't regulate it without turning it completely off. The remote that controlled it was broken, so I just used the buttons on the unit. Starting to see a consistent theme here?

Bad

Very Unsafe

Disliked: Door will not shut or lock. MANAGERS refused to give me another room. At one point the manager got it locked but then we got locked out. Someone else had to come to unlock but then had to go back to an unlocked unshut door all night. Anybody can just push the door open from the hallway. Very unsafe. Night manager refused to switch rooms because 1 he said "I used the room" and 2 he said and I quote " I don't want someone's girlfriend getting stuck in there". Dayshift manager refused to do anything about it this morning or even refund me.

Good

Liked: The towel holes.
Disliked: No ice or amenities.

Very good

Pleasant

Liked: Room Was Clean.
Disliked: No Ice Machine Working All Time I Was There. 2 Day's 94. o/c. Staff So Not Friendly. Room Didn't Have Microwave Like Was Listed. Not Same Room As Picked.

Very good

Liked: Clean quiet and in a good area. Best Motel 6 I've ever stayed at. Do NOT go to the one on 14th street.
Disliked: TV could have better options. Remote has option for Netflix and YouTube but you can't actually use it which sucks.
