Ask for a room away from the lobby if you prefer a quieter environment, as it can get noisy during check-in hours.

great access to parks and downtown des moines attractions

I loved the affordable rates and the accommodating staff who made my stay enjoyable, and being just under 7 km from the Iowa State Fairgrounds and a short distance to parks allowed for some beautiful strolls through the city without any hassles.

I had a pleasant stay in the spacious Deluxe Queen Room. The gazebo area was a nice touch to relax outside.

The check-in experience felt rushed and unfriendly, lacking any warmth from the staff. The room was in a dreadful state, with visible dirt and stains throughout, and there was no remote or linens provided. We also encountered an issue with ants in the room, which was very unsettling. Breakfast options were nonexistent despite waiting. Just overall, it felt poorly maintained and uninviting.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

I had an absolute blast with the cozy atmosphere, where my room was super comfy and clean! The outdoor swimming pool was refreshing and perfect for soaking up some sun. Plus, the BBQ facilities gave me the chance to grill up some fun meals with friends!

totally recommend 🥰🌟

I loved how comfortable and clean my room was, and the staff were always helpful, making my stay enjoyable. The easy access to common areas was particularly convenient for me as a senior traveler.

More senior-friendly support for accessibility would be helpful.

i had a pleasant stay while celebrating a birthday. the room was clean, comfortable, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. this experience exceeded my previous stay in des moines, truly appreciating the helpful service and the cozy atmosphere.

breakfast options were limited

Had a nice stay! The room was clean and comfy, which made me feel right at home 🏡. The only downside was that the breakfast options were quite limited. Overall, a good experience.

Rooms were clean and nicely renovated, truly a pleasant surprise. The hotel could use some better maintenance outside and sharper signage as it was tucked away. The friendly staff made the experience enjoyable, though some facilities like the pool were closed and there was a lingering smokey smell in areas.

the hallway was filthy and smelled bad. however, my room was clean and the staff were friendly. the bed was comfy and the breakfast was surprisingly good for an economy hotel. would stay again.

difficult stay but room quality was promising

The bed provided a decent level of comfort, which is always a plus after a long drive. I appreciated the cleanliness of the room once it was ready. Despite the chaos, a staff member tried to assist us with our concerns. I noticed another guest praising the room's cleanliness and how welcoming the staff was.

I enjoyed my stay at Super 8 in Des Moines! The clean room offered comfort for my travels, and the staff provided friendly service despite some minor issues with amenities. It was an interesting experience being in a unique part of the U.S. As I embraced country music vibes.

Nice flat-screen TV and polite staff, but windows were not secure for safety.

The staff was exceptionally accommodating, especially Michael, who worked diligently during a busy check-in. The room was clean and met my basic expectations. The breakfast offered a variety of options, which made mornings more enjoyable.

The hotel’s security and overall upkeep were concerning.
