Great hotel
Very nice hotel that has been updated on the inside, just not the out. However, don't let that detour you from booking this hidden gem.

My Cozy stay.
The folks who own and run the place are very gracious, and accommodating. It wasn't at all what I expected. They keep it neat and clean. You can tell there is new ownership. Compared to past visits, it is much, much better.

It was good for one night. Shower was very nice and bed was confortable. Toilet paper wasn't restocked but I was not in the room long enough to care. Loud engines from random cars in the middle of the night but that isn't the motels fault. Functional AC.

It was good for the price, clean and friendly. Don't expect extras like other motels. No microwave, refrigerator in room, no extra locks on doors, all steps. It was fine for just staying one night but wouldn't recommend if staying longer.

The owners are super nice and helpful, and definitely went out of their way to make sure we were doing okay the whole time. That being said, the room was definitely musty (it smelled a liiiiitle bit moldy) and the bathroom wasn't the cleanest I've seen in my time. Beds were clean though, and air conditioner worked great. Overall, really can't complain for a last minute motel booking. I'd stay there again in a pinch. The low area score is because it did seem like we were in sort of an odd part of Des Moines, and if you were hoping to do any tourism or walking around at night I don't think this is quite the part of the city for it. The motel itself is good though and right on a main road that can get you to other parts of the city.

Parking by room entrance door - no hallways to carry luggage down. Would have been nice to have fridge and microwave. Had a very nice walk-in shower. Good sleeping mattress.

Great room, scary outside
It was obvious that care had been spent in renovating the rooms. Great comfortable mattress, pleasing color of new paint. Decent water pressure. I hope the outside of the hotel gets fixed next. It looks run-down, and almost scary. Hosts (owners?) were truly wonderful. They had a problem with the ice machine, and offered to go get me some from the store (I declined). cons: no hangers. windows don't open because there is no screen. pros: too hot to open the window anyway. Great air conditioner. I would probably stay here again. South side of Des Moines, easy drive to everything you need.

Staff was friendly, easy check in. Rooms were so much better than I was expecting. All in all the only thing I did not like about this motel was the fact it's in an area that feels relatively unsafe. No problems with the motel itself! It was great for our night there, checked in super late but was met with no issues.
