Musty smell. Clean hotel room
Room was clean. Manager that checked us in was very friendly. The hotel smelled musty upon entering the building and in all the halls and common areas. I did not realize that the pool area was open to the common areas resulting in the musty smell. Was looking for a room that had 3 beds for 3 adults. Attending Iowa state football game and needed a reasonably priced room. I do not think that I would choose this hotel again

Breakfast at the attached diner was very pleasant. The 3 free choices offered (cooked to order) or the option of $5 off any menu item was a nice change from the standard cereal, waffle station, steam table eggs.

Meh
Pictures are better than reality. Camera’s everywhere which might seem safe but feels more creepy. No lighting in rooms. Carpet dated.

Comfortable bed. Room at top of stairs attributed to a lot of people running up and down the hall late night.
But the diner had good food and an amazing devils food cake

There was FAR TOO MUCH & WAAAYYYY TOO MANY instances that transpired during my family vacation stay this past weekend @ Wyndam Garden Ankeny/Des Moines hotel, but I will certainly highlight a plethora of situations, so that maybe I can save someone else from the same experience as myself & my family. For the sake of transparency, please take note, as this is a 100% TRUE, honest & fruitful review of our experience with this hotel. 1. We arrived to check-in to our "poolside room" location so we could get the party started. We loaded down the luggage cart just about to the tippy-top, checked in, got the keys, start down the hall only to realize

Boo Hiss Boo! I want a quick breakfast!
Very unhappy that the hotel did NOT supply breakfast, instead a stupid coupon to the attached restaurant. Will never stay here again, and I travel a bunch. Just want breakfast at the restaurant, without the hassle of waiting in line at a restaurant!

Each bed came with two small pillows. We asked for extra pillows twice and did not get any. The shower had very low water pressure and did not drain. The outlet in the bathroom did not work. The place was fairly clean but not up to the expectations for the price.

Stay away!
Arrived to my room, discovered sheets dirty, found someone sock in the bed. Dirty rag on desk, soaking wet.
Staff moved us to another room, inspected it - bathroom was dirty also.

This motel was the cleanest motel I have stayed in recent months. The lawns were clean even though they had some restorations going on. It was quiet both inside and outside despite being close to the Interstate and busy street. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
