From the start the property was bad. We were given the 3rd floor with no elevator. I had a toddler, coolers and luggage. I asked for a ground level room and at first he said he had none and then said I could get one for anothe $40. The cleaner was still cleaning when we got to the room and it wasnt cleaned right. The refrigerate wasnt plugged in and once it was it banged all night and leaked water. The refrigerator was full of rust. There was reallt no breakfast selection. Toast, cereal and sausage. The waffle maker didnt work. I asked about breakfast Nd was told that all they had. I checked out a day early. I stay in a hotel about twice a week and this worst i have ever stayed at!

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Although this Days Inn is reasonably priced and close to my family members in Des Moines, it lacks some amenities like a coffee-maker and/or facial tissues in the room. My room also had no cups for water, and the bottled water I put in the refrigerator froze! The room was also chilly in late May but had no way to adjust the temperature, except to make it colder. I did appreciate the free breakfast and the fact that free coffee was available at all times.

Not a good hotel

I asked for a 1st floor room or an elevator. They had neither. There were holes in the blanket and the sheets were thread bare. The breakfast was either waffles or cereal. No fruit, no other choices. I am surprised that this was a days inn by Wyndham.

No Frills-Days Inn

The Desk Attendant was efficient, but not externally friendly. We were disappointed that 1) there was no mini-fridge in the room and 2) we needed to get an extra washcloth(there was only one);3) little soaps-nice, but little shampoos/lotion would have helped. 4)the breakfast was disappointing-so little, juice maker not working, and waffle fluid dispenser-not day one, fixed day two-yay. 5) very small flat pillows on bed; sorry I did not bring my own. The positives-cleanly room, bedding, good working air, good lighting, quiet-good walls. Walk up two flights to room; of course, pre-elevator days....Parking was convenient. Lower priced hotel, as good as it gets.
