Motel 6 Des Moines, IA - North

Front office staff is the best I've encountered anywhere in a long time. They have made our stays comfortable, treated us like we been friends for years, and make guests their first priority. If I could recommend them for a raise I absolutely would. I won't stay anywhere else.

Positive: Absolutely Positively Nothing Negative: The stay was bad the sheets were dirty with like green marker stains there was hair on the bed and the floor and in the shower the water was cold as a freezer you had to run the water for like 30 minutes before it even started to get warm unsatisfactory

To echo other reviews, this place should not be operating. Upon entering my 2 bedroom room, every surface was covered in dead bugs. The room was tiny and could not fully fit the 2 beds in there, one of the beds was blocking the access to the bathroom. We immediately left and the front desk asked "what was wrong with the room?" and then stated that the owner was the only one who can give refunds. She also stated the owner is only available from 11 AM to 12 PM each day. I thought it was going to be hopeless getting a refund for a filthy room I did not stay in, but luckily I booked through a third party who called and got my money refunded. Do not stay here.

Absolutely disgusting.. I checked in went to my room and found long black hair everywhere.. mold on the shower head and stained towels. Was in room for less than an hour before I decided it was time to find something else…

Absolutely awful. Raggedy, small rooms, no microwave, no fridge, in the 4 days we were there, no housekeeping or even towels were offered, the only upshot is there are smoking rooms and it's pet friendly. For $85/night though, it is NOT worth it. The owner is extremely rude, the staff are generally nice, but the area is dangerous and frankly so are some of the residents. Yelling, fighting, constant drama. Someone kicked in another resident's door the other night, and the place was swarmed with cops. It truly is a hellhole. Also, roaches. Lots of road noise from I35. Unless you are truly down on your luck, AVOID THIS PLACE.
