I recently stayed at this motel because of the location. I saw the pictures online and the rooms looked so nice and updated. I was in for a big surprise when I arrived! The lady at the front desk was very nice and got me checkied in quickly. I had requested a room with a bath tub but was given... 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

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. So after much searching, I decided to stay at this Motel 6, as it is advertised as having the NEW remodeled layout. After staying at... More

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.
