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.

it's OK but there are better choices...

It's an older building that has been renovated at some point. Clean but shows its age. Few amenities. "Breakfast" was meager at best the first day and hadn't been restocked the second morning. I had my dog along. A multiple page document with several signatures and initials along with a $30 a day pet fee was required.
