Super 8 by Wyndham Des Moines/Urbandale

The only thing that makes this a 2 star hotel is the police in the area otherwise it'll be 3 star

I booked this hotel as a Priceline deal and when we read the reviews my wife and I tried to get a refund. Finally when we realized that wasn’t going to happen, we decided to make the best of it. But when we pulled up and saw the outside of the hotel my wife cried. Well don’t judge a book by it’s cover. We got in and were immediately greeted by pleasant and attentive staff. We went to our clean room and of course searched the bed for the bed bugs that one reviewer mentioned. The bed was spotless. Premium shampoo was provided, the breakfast was wonderful and it was judgment free place to bring a ton of kids. And the pool was heated?! It was so fun to take a swim with my boys without having to be freezing! Overall this really was great stay and I’d recommend this hotel! Maybe things have chan

Seriously, this place (or at least the room we were in on the first floor not far from the lobby) had THE BEST WATER PRESSURE I have experienced in a LONG time!!! This resulted in an OUTSTANDING shower! As for the rest ... well, it is a Super 8, so don't expect the Hilton! It was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Had a couple of women at the front desk that I enjoyed talking to, and who provided great service, and a couple of men who were okay (but certainly not bad!). I have no real complaints. The TV wasn't working when we got to the room, but it just needed to be unplugged and plugged back in. The satellite went out the second night, but the weather was bad, so not their fault. (By the way, their TV channel selection is AMAZING - lots of choices, including several "paid" movie channels.)

Cute decor. A few dust bunnies in the bathroom but otherwise very clean. Room was nice & quiet. We didn’t know there was a baseball team staying there until morning when we saw them leaving. Breakfast has slim pickings but was adequate if you’re not too picky. All & all we enjoyed our stay. Oh one more thing my phone died right before we got there so no gps. We drove right by the super 8. Would be helpful if there was a sign up front on the road.

Asked for adjoining rooms, and explained i needed them because i have children with me I was told I would have them. I got 2 rooms that were not connected but had a door in each going to a different room. But that door was blocked with a pull out couch. But it gets better the couch has stained cushions. The blanket on the bed in the room is barely better than a sheet, however it is visually nice looking. There was a weird pink stain in the bath tub, which I don't even want to take a guess what that is from. In one of my rooms the light switch doesn't turn on or off any of the lights. The hallway smells like old microwaved macaroni and cheese, mixed with cigarette smoke, and dirty sweaty laundry. It's about 85 degrees in the hallways. That wouldn't be bad if it was winter but it's summer
