Hampton Inn & Suites Ankeny

It was very clean and had a very nice pool area. Loved the snack bar! AC works almost too good

The beds aren't the comfiest.

We were in the Des Moines area for a family reunion and several members of our family stayed here. This is probably about the 10th time I have stayed in this hotel and I still cannot figure out why the rooms cost $200/night in the area! The hotel was clean and comfortable, but the pool/hot tub area had so much chlorine in the air that it made our eyes burn just being in there. Definitely needs ventilation. The girl at the front desk seemed rather uninterested when I stopped to check in. I had to ask her if we could have water as Diamond members and she said, "oh, sure." I then asked about the snack and she seemed inconvenienced. Overall, it's a nice clean Hampton inn, but is overpriced and has average staff.

I found it to be reasonably clean. I do think they need to shampoo the carpets more often. What happened to the great Hampton Inn beds they used to have? Geesh, my hips are killing me after each stay. Odd thing, no handsoap in the entire place, they gave me a large bottle of shower gel to use for handsoap. I have allergies to all the perfume they put in it so that was not usable. This hotel is located in the older part of town, more industrial area. Actually it is literally right next door to the DOT so there is a line of semi's and big rigs waiting to get tested. It has one pet station at the south end of the hotel. Lots of areas to potty pets. I wish hotel staff would put families with kids on one end of the hotel and try to put business travelers and non kid travelers on the other side. There were a ton of families here with very loud children(i know kids are loud) but could not sleep, had to turn up the tv to drown out the noise until they fell asleep, then I could finally go to sleep. After a long day of driving you want to be able to sleep with quiet. Long drive to get food. There is a Sams club within a short distance to the hotel. Would probably try and find another Hampton Inn to stay at.

We have stayed at a few hotels in ankeny and this one is the best. It was very clean and the staff was very friendly. An the beds was so amazing. I asked my two girls out of all the hotels we have stayed at witch one would they pick to stay again at and yes they said you guys. We will be back.

We were in town for the night with a Volleyball team to play in a tournament. Brian was extremely accommodating allowing us to use the meeting room and projector so we didn’t have to miss the Iowa game! Thanks for the hospitality.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel on a recent visit to the Des Moines area. The hotel is right off interstate 35 and only 9 miles from downtown Des Moines. We reserved a room with a king bed which was quite comfortable. The room was huge as it had a work desk and a couch, which could fold out into a bed. The exercise room had a peloton bike and medicine balls. The housekeeping staff did an excellent job of cleaning if you requested that daily.

pool, snacks
