"Had a great stay! Clean, friendly staff, close to everything i wanted to do. Maybe have a better breakfast in the morning. Not a lot of options. Move the toilet paper holder, was difficult to use."
"The rooms were clean and neat. I like the "no carpet" rooms. They feel cleaner. The water was hot and i liked having a refrigerator in my room. The breakfast was good and the people were friendly"

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Urbandale/Des Moines
10/10 Excellent
"Exceeded expectations. Hotel was very clean. I watched the attendant clean a room, and she is very thorough. Everything is kept neat, inside and out. Continental breakfast was decent with lots of options. Only ding is only 1 ice machine, located on the 2nd floor. Overall, I'd come back!"
"The hotel stay was amazing and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi in our room. The only downfall is that the breakfast options are the basic options at most hotels but it was still good. I would definitely stay here again. "
"They are severly understaffed. Manager was working 12 to 16 hours a day. Didn't get towels for the first 24 hours. We had to buy towels to shower. Whoever owns this motel needs a swift kick in the ass. "
