    This was a nice stay. I was bringing my sister to the airport for and early flight, live 3 hours away and didn’t want to do the whole drive at once. The room was clean, quiet, and the bed was comfortable. We walked to the waterfront for dinner and it took less than 15 minutes. The breakfast had waffles, pastries, bagels, and yogurt. There is a small convenience store across the street and 2 sports bars nearby.

    For the price its what I expected. Dated furnishings, a toilet valve that needed a little jiggling. They had a very limited continental breakfast. The location was a nice convenient suburban city. Great seaside park within a 5 min walk. Close to airport. Decent restaurants close by. I'd stay again but don't expect too much

    Unless you are a client looking for a high end hotel with the newest of amenities, room service and awesome views, with sky high nightly rates to match, this hotel is NOT for you. If you want a clean, quiet, well maintained older property with likewise amenities and furniture......although the kink size bed I stayed in was firm and very comfortable you will like the hotel. The rooms are quite large. There is also night life just around the corner, ie. sports bar, restaurants, etc. You are only a block away from the marina. They do offer a breakfast, but I did not try it. My guess is it is pretty basic. The parking was free and at the time I had no problem finding space. I suppose depending on the time of year, I found the rate very reasonable.

    This place is budget and good for solo travelers so it’s not grand by any means. The place is in need of an update. The lamps are hard to turn on. There is no privacy curtain so you can’t open it to get any light in the room so you have to be clothed to even open. The lights are dingy and yellow. The wall heating and cooling unit is difficult to operate. The beds were too bouncy and the pillows are not great. The towels provided are super thin, small, and scratchy. The place just felt old and stuffy. There was hair in the bathroom and it didn’t feel clean. Like I said it’s budget but still by far not the worst motel I’ve ever stayed in. Oh and the door is hard to lock and isn’t sealed well so once closed you can see outside light from the hallway all around the door not to mention noise travels in since there is no seal. It’s in a great location with plenty of places to eat and drink. Near Des Moines marina. Easy to get to from the airport. The staff were friendly.

    This is more of a motel than a hotel. It was clean and quiet. No construction going on during our stay. Airport is not to far away so planes do fly over but it was never an issue as far as noise in the room. “Continental breakfast is super basic. Some fruit, bagels, yogurt, packaged pastries and waffle maker but there was never waffle mix during our stay. We stood 4 nights and the first 3 nights the towels were replaced in the bathroom but the beds weren’t made. On the 4th day we came back to made beds. Not sure if that’s part of their policy. All in all I enjoyed the stay because of the town it’s in, Des Moines. It’s small, quaint, quiet town that moves at a slower pace with a beautiful marina that is walking distance from the property.

    The overall observation is cheap and outdated. I get it, it’s an old hotel. But the owners seem to go out of the way to cheap out on every possible opportunity. The only positive experience was the maids doing a good job cleaning my room and replacing the towels.

The room is big and clean.The bed is very comfortable. Easy check in. Enough parking spaces. Simple but adequate breakfast offered. Room's amenities are sufficient for my needs. I wish I could travel with my dog.. This place does not allow any pets.

    We loved the location of this property. There were so many coffee shops, sports bars, restaurants and a beautiful marina and pier within walking distance. The hotel is quiet and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. They serve a simple breakfast with waffles, bagels, pastries, fresh fruit and yogurt. If the hotel would add peanut butter it would a great and simple addition for us vegans. The area around the hotel is also clean and safe. The Marina area has so many great places to sit including the “Quarterdeck” that serves coffee, tea, wine and beer and a few sandwiches. There are plenty of benches and picnic tables around the Marina area. There is also a small park that is up hill and overlooking the Marina and sound. The Des Moines Creek trail starts from the parking lot which is great for walking and biking.

    The property is extremely clean and safe safe and the location is is superb being close to the marina, close to Food, close to Anthony's Seaport for dinner. Just be aware that accommodations are Spartan in simplicity, but each room appears to have brand new everything including widescreen TVs. I don't recall a clock radio, but there was a phone. The first floor rooms are too high to crawl into if you leave the windows open at night to get a sea breeze, and the crime rate in Des Moines is extremely low anyway. I would stay there again, but I had to go buy pillows at Costco because their pillows are hard and we left the room opened to air out because I didn't like the room air freshener they use after cleaning the rooms. The AC heater work perfectly so upon checking in I would suggest you bring your own pillows and open the windows to air out the room air freshener. Other than that, I will stay there again simply because the location is that great.

    The front desk staff was great- very friendly. The room set up was great and very spacious. The bathroom was a bit rough but not dirty or anything. I only give it lower marks for the bed- it was awful to me (my daughter had no issues with it). It hurt my hips and my back- I couldn't get comfortable in any position or spot on the bed. Fix the bed and it would be excellent across the board.

    When making the reservation I requested a 1st floor room close to the middle door. Why?? Because I'm borderline handicap and stairs and I don't get along very well. At checkin I was told they had no 1st floor rooms and I had to take a 2nd floor room instead. I explained the situation the front desk person but it fell on deaf ears.

    Continental breakfast was ok-waffle maker, yogurt and some off brand cinnamon rolls in packaging. Room itself was average. As for staff, that's what was the worst. We waited over 20 minutes to get checked in because no one was up at the desk. The front desk guy then showed up out of what looked to be a guest room right above the lobby and saw several of us standing there and never apologized to any of us. He was very rude. He never gave us details for Wi-Fi or took our vehicle info either. The lady the next morning was better but not by much. I would recommend here as a last resort motel option

    The hotel rooms are heavily dosed with a very strong perfume or cleaning product or something. It was so strong that it woke me up several times at night when i shifted just enough to get a stronger whiff of the strong fragrance. The rooms have zero noise cancellation. We could hear footsteps walking down the hall from the lobby all the way to our room. we were located ... 50-100 yards from the lobby. We heard everything at all times in our room from any noise anywhere in the hotel. The beds were poor quality. I could feel all of the springs in the bed. I am 5.10 at 170lbs. Our stay should have been in the $60/night price range for the experience we had.

    This plae was relatively cheap but certainly not cheerful and I wouldn't return. The coffee machine in the room still had a used coffee bag in it and when I tried to make a coffee I just got light brown water (possible an error on my part). The wifi didn't stretch too Room 119 which was irritating as I then had to get dressed agan to go down to reception to get wifi signal so I could check in for my flight. The breakfast offering was poor, we even had our own tea, cereal and milk but there were no bowls (we did ask). Wasn't expecting luxury and I expected it to be dated but this wasn't good and slightly depressing.

    The staff at checkin wasn’t straight rude but definitely not friendly. The overall appearance looked of remodel not quite done right, tape on the floor, patches showing and painted over, etc. And the cameras everywhere made it feel like it was not a good part of town, which the beachfront area of Des Moines is definitely not a bad area. And the bed…I think I would have rather slept on a cot. For the amount of good reviews this place has gotten, very disappointing

    Fairly newly renovated. One block from puget sound bay. The Breakfast was very limited because it was continental. Planes would go over frequently but you never heard them in the inn. Convenient small grocery store across the street. The inn had it's own free private parking. Very little traffic. Staff was great. Great value and budget minded so don't expect high quality sheets and towels. They had one coin washer and dryer for laundry. 2 story building with no elevator so if stairs are an issue you need to request a 1st floor room. Only one luggage cart dolly available. Overall we would stay there again.

    This room was the largest of our 10 nights on vacation. We loved having this extra space because we were preparing to fly the next day. I liked the various lighting options in the room and the separate counter with extra sink for food and beverage prep! Two blocks from the Pugent Sound with overlooks that was nice to walk to. Biggest disappointment was the breakfast, which was minimal with a bunch of carbs and yogurt cups and no one really staffing it. Fortunately we had food to eat in our room. Staff wasn't the most friendly of the 3 ppl we saw. If you get a room on the 2nd floor, there is no elevator.

    My terrible experience starts from the check-in. The lady at the front desk was like, why I'm there at 11 pm. She didn't want to answer any questions I have about the property amenities. I asked her that do you have any drinking water here or a vending machine. And she said you can check over there by the breakfast station but I don’t know. How do you not know? You work there. She was very rude and showed me an attitude for asking questions. I found the vending machine and I put money in it. But everything was sold out. It won't give me my money back either. If everything is sold out then why didn't you put a sign there or just turn it off. There were long hair on my bed sheets and even on the towels. They were dirty. It was a terrible experience staying at this hotel.

    The Marina is located in a good place, and you can’t beat the price. Both the room and bathroom were clean and the bed was good. Know that this is not a luxury stay—furniture and decor are worn, BUT the price and location are a draw. We walked to the marina and area coffee shops and restaurants. We slept well. Avoided breakfast-very few tables and even fewer options of just waffles, yogurt and sweet danish. Would stay here again, but I don’t need luxury.

    Fresh paint and flooring. However, wastebasket in room was still full. Bath gel container was empty. Continental breakfast was pretty skimpy. Cheap plastic forks and knives.

    It was good enough when I stayed alone a year ago. This time I was with my mom and sister, so we ran into an issue with towels. We shower daily, which means 3 towels daily. This was a struggle since apparently the hotel has a limited amount of towels. This is one of the reasons I dislike AirBNBs - limited towels. Yes, I'm aware it's a 3 star hotel, but, towels are a basic expectation for me.

    We booked for 2 nights but couldn't stay. We had requested a room with two beds. When we first checked in, we got to the room it was a single king bed, which was not enough for three adults. The man at the desk apologized and we get another room. We go in and there are ants all over the place. Nope. Back to the desk, gave them another try. We get to the third room, and the bathroom floor was filthy. I'm sorry, but we gave them 3 chances. Fortunately, we were able to book elsewhere last minute and requested a refund. We hope that happens.

    Lovely little motel in a cute little seaside town. But 9 stars???? Seriously? I've stayed in 9 star places that are glorious buildings with tremendous service. This is a little motel. 9 stars is an insane rating. A fair rating would be 7. I mean, it is what it is. You aren't going to get a Ritz Carlton place for McDonald's money. My problem isnt with this motel, it's with hotels.com's grossly inflated unrealistic rating. I used to have a cutoff of no lower than 7 stars, but it appears 9 is the new 7 here.

    Our check in went great. Lady at the counter was helpful in getting us two rooms on the first floor, provided information on places to have dinner. Free breakfast was simple but fine, fruit, yogurt, waffles. A choice of cereal would have been nice. This is not the Hilton, but served our needs and I would stay here again. It was about 20 minutes from the airport in rush hour.

    The bed was hard as rock… the floor was really dirty, you would need to wear sandals to walk around in the room, otherwise, you have black feet… it’s gross. The facility was in somewhat like a beat down stage… not as good as what other people reviewed. The towels were super thin and small too… hair was on towels and bed. Make sure to check the towels… some blood on some towels too on the first day we went in … anyways not staying there again …

    When I checked in the room still had moldy coffee in the coffee pot. Went downstairs and showed to staff, was given a different room, the next night I went back to my room and my coffee pot wasn’t emptied or new service items added. The morning breakfast had pastry that had an expire date of May 2025. I shows to staff and they said oops. Just was not attention to what was happening. Great area, sad hotel.
