Courtyard Marriott Ankeny

We went here for a work event all week. The room had mold in the shower , above the bed where a leak had occurred in the ceiling , mold all down the sides of the window , and mold all over the sill. The shower door was sagging as someone screwed it into a bed of mortar. The tv randomly turns off and pressing the “ok” button doesn’t stop it from occurring, and then it refuses to turn back on. The hotel gave us a different room, but similar issues. Mold in the handicapped room bath, mold around the window , and trash all under the bed. Seriously make some effort to properly maintain and clean your rooms. The heat and AC thermostat didn’t work in either room , forcing us to go out and buy additional blankets to stay warm . Just will never use this hotel again.

Staff were excellent. Very helpful

The property was nice and clean. The room was clean. The staff was very accommodating and nice.

Beds were comfortable and the room was quiet. Breakfast was not included but they had a good breakfast for a moderate price in the Bistro in the lobby. There are a couple of nice restaurants near by (an Outback and a fish restaurant). Hotel was outside of Des Moines but right off the freeway.

The air conditioner in the room was noisy. It was cool enough outside so we turned it off and cracked a window (we were on the 3rd floor).

The front desk staff was not the most pleasant one I have ever experienced. The rooms were nice and clean with a comfortable bed. Easily accessible from I35 and lots of parking. I wish the Courtyards would offer coffee on 24/7 basis. Not many restaurants nearby.
