Continuous loud fan/air exchange in bathroom but worked for white noise at night. Spent very little time there so worked out for us.

Very bland, boring, and extremely limited options. Breakfast is important for my family when choosing a hotel.

Sadly I booked this hotel because of the hot tub and it was broken. The carpet in the room & hallway was old & not really clean. The room amenities were adequate. The bathroom was nice with modern shower but the handle was so tight I needed two hands to turn it on & adjust. The shower drained slowly. The room had a good number of charging & electrical outlets. Contact with staff was minimal so can’t give a glowing rating but there was nothing bad.

The front desk worker was inconsiderate and inflexible. We requested a handicap accessible room at the time of the reservation. At check-in, it wasn't available, but we were told it would be later. When we returned, a different person said there was only a king bed room (There were 4 of us) and it would be $300. We stepped away to discuss if we could afford a second room. Deciding we didn't have much choice, we told her ok. She then said the total would be $385! We had talked for less than 5 minutes and the room price had gone up! We explained a person in our party had Parkinson's, a recently amputated toe and using a mobility scooter, Zero consideration- just a "too bad" attitude. We made the original room work with difficulty.
Also, the tub caulking was cracked and looked moldy and the air conditioner was very loud.
The only bright spot was a very helpful housekeeping staff member.

I’ve never been in a hotel before where I could actually hear people walking above me. The breakfast was the same both mornings, it would’ve been nice if there was something different our second morning. also, I noticed holes in our sheets on our last night

Don't stay here! You have been warned.

Upon entering the hotel we noticed a horrible musty, moldy smell. We were told it was the laundry room, however the entire place smelled like this. The elevator to our room was dirty and smelled like puke. The hallways reeked liked mold and our room was the same. The TV was barely working, the fridge was so iced over it was hard to put things into it and the microwave, clean but broken. The bed was in older condition with body divots on both sides of the king bed. The shower was in need of cleaning as it had started to form pink slim on the edges, the carpet needs shampooing and so does the red chair. Overall, this hotel is gross. I have never been so excited to leave a hotel room as I was this one. I will never stay at this hotel again.

Location is great.
The bathroom needs a renovation. It looks like they started it but stopped. Backsplash tile half done but from the mirror prior they just didn’t bother finishing the wall. The shower needs to be completely scrubbed. Felt like a dirty locker room shower floor. The sewer pipes… I’m not a plumber but the smell. The fan was always going. No switch to turn off. Great if you like white noise.
The noise in the hallway is something you can’t control but the amounts of kids running in the hall at night could be. Don’t let your kids slam doors and scream.
Overall probably wouldn’t stay here again. Just needed a place to sleep for a night. Very convenient location.

Very clean hotel with exceptional customer service. My room was very comfortable and clean with the exception. My curtain was ripped upon arrival, but I reported it immediately so I wouldn’t be charged for any damages. The staff was very attentive. I like hot tea before I go to bed and there was hot water available in the breakfast nook downstairs. The breakfast that was free and included in the stay was yummy. They also had a mini waffle maker since I don’t like the large ones. I choose to stay out in Ankeny when I go to Des Moines for business and will continue to make the short drive to this area Again and again. This was my first day at this particular hotel, and it was very comforting.

Flashback to the 80’s. Don’t think anything has been updated since. Vent in bathroom had years of dust. Ceiling in shower peeling. Carpets and furnishings are very old. Bed was comfy. Breakfast in the morning seemed fine, but we opted to dine out. Wasn’t a very clean place overall. We needed a place to stay after a concert and had booked this 7 months in advance. For $168 for one night, we’d go elsewhere next time. When I think of Country Inn and Suites, this doesn’t live up to the standard we’ve experienced at others.
