Our motel was the DM North Motel 6, another remodeled one. The TripAdvisor reviews were pretty mixed and our first room was on the front - facing the freeway - and it was way noisy. They moved us to the back of the same building and it made all the difference. Other than an odd, mysterious red purple stain on... More

Stayed at this motel 6 during a road trip. The room itself was clean with comfortable beds, a decent size TV and an ok shower. The bad thing about this motel was the "ghetto" ambiance. There were people lingering around in the evening, making us feel highly uncomfortable. We made sure to lock our doors and removed everything we could... More

but it's already showing its age. When you book Motel 6 you're booking for price. You expect a small room and that's what you get. (One bed was up against a wall, the other up against the in-wall heater/air conditioner). I booked this Motel 6, rather than one of the other 3 in Des Moines, because it had been updated.... More

Bathroom sink would take a long time to drain. Found sink plug missing and drain full of ??. Appears housekeeping not in to cleaning sink as it was so obvious the problem and should have been fixed prior to renting the room. The free internet is a joke that motel 6 is now giving.

Check in was fast and easy. I asked for a bottom floor room and that is what I received, My room seemed clean and it did look like it had been redecorated recently. It smelled like it was douced with air freshner , that lingered all through the night..very unpleasent. The door to my room had a gap under it... More

I stayed at Motel 6 Des Moines North on August 11-12, 2012. Because of the Iowa State Fair, I was unable to get a room where I would normally stay at for that Saturday night.

Motel 6 should terminate this franchise! I stayed at this Motel 6 in late July 2012, on my way back from the east coast. I had stayed there one year earlier and it was fair. Since then, it's turned into flea bag. When I arrived, over 1/3 of the rooms were rented to migrant worker families. Their dirty laundry was... More

Motel 6 isn't your full service hotel, but if you just want a clean room to spend the night, this motel is worth staying at. The room was clean and everything in it was well maintained and the staff was friendly and courteous.
