Guest Reviews

• Kim (6/5): While the staff were exceptionally friendly and welcoming, the facility itself is in desperate need for an upgrade. - The exceptional staff and the proximity of the hotel to events that I was going to. The hotel is in desperate need of an overhaul. The carpet and the furniture were in rough shape. The bathroom sink and tub had gouge marks on them.
• Giannina (8/5): Hotel was small and charming, so clean and comfortable - It was so clean Some staff were clueless
• Pam (9/5): - I like that the beds come on come on very comfortable in the room was very clean
• Jackson (10/5): -
• Kayla (4/5): - It was close to where I was working while in town. The air conditioner was very loud, the blinds didn't fully cover the window which let in light at night and the morning, the pillows were hard and not very comfortable, and I had to go down to the front desk because there was no soap to wash your hands or shampoo, conditioner, or body wash for showering.
• Nicole (10/5): -
• David (7/5): -
• Andrea (6/5): The check-in staff was pleasant. I completed check-in online so that helped expedite the process. The hotel could use so - The location was perfect. Close to shopping and restaurants, and a short drive to the concert we went to. The cleanliness could be stepped up a bit. There was a booger wiped across the side of end table from a previous stay and that didn’t exactly give a feeling of ‘clean’ overall. The beds were older but I slept fine. One of my pillow cases had a hole in it. When you sat on the toilet it sounded loose.
• Kevin (10/5): It was great. - The whole experience was excellent
• Myra (10/5): -
• Keith (7/5): it worked - Breakfast was better than I expected, but I wasn't expecting much grill in bathroom was rusty and dirty looking
• Van Haaften (8/5): We enjoyed our stay - The motel was very well kept, the location was convenient, the hot tub was excellent.
• STEVEN (10/5): Great - Great breakfast and super friendly staff Shower didn't work
• Travis (10/5): - We accidentally left our Keurig and they held it for us until we could get back to get it. Awesome service.
• Richard (7/5): - The breakfast definitely needs some improvement. Breakfast. Cracked tub in bathroom.
• Rhonda (8/5): - Pool hot tub are very large by today’s standards
• Mary (7/5): -
• Steven (10/5): -
• Ross (10/5): Got there late and had to leave early for the state fair. - Checking in on line. Everything was fine.
• Gina & Jeff (8/5): -
• Phillip (8/5): -
• Scott (6/5): -
• MARY (10/5): -
• Christina (5/5): - Our fireplace didn't work, that's why I chose that room. So that was a big let down....
• Niederklopfer (10/5): -
• Sarah (8/5): - Clean, quiet, and nice staff Na
• Diekevers (9/5): -
• Philipp (8/5): - Das Hotel liegt ca. 10-15 Minuten mit dem Auto von der Hauptstadt Des Moines entfernt. Das Zimmer war sauber, gut ausgestattet und ruhig. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Frühstück war gut: es gab Toast, Waffeln, Marmeladen, Rührei, Würstchen, Cornflakes, Oatmeal, Yoghurt und frisches Obst. Tee und Kaffee stehen den ganzen Tag zur Verfügung. Es gibt einen Indoor-Pool, den wir jedoch aus zeitlichen Gründen nicht nutzen konnten. Das Zimmer war etwas dunkel - es fehlen zur Ausleuchtung des gesamten Raumes Lampen.
• Curtis (8/5): -
• 145starlav (8/5): Nice Stay - Everything was Good and the service was Excellent! Dawn the night staff wad very friendly! The check out guy was friendly as well. Hot tub was hot pool was cool and both were clean. The only negative thing was I ask for another bath towel and all they had is one you step on when getting out. Either someone needs to do laundry or they need to buy more! I would definitely stay here again!
• Higdon (8/5): - Convenient The fridge was not cold at all
• K8279BClindseyb (4/5): Last Straw was the Cockroach Found in Room - We have stayed at this hotel in Ankeny many times thanks to it's reasonable rate. We will not be staying anymore. When we walked into our room, a cockroach scurried under the tv remote. We asked the front desk for a different room and they did seem concerned and apologetic. The kids swimming in the pool all said their eyes burned from the chemicals. Breakfast was barely okay. The orange juice came out looking darker than it should. The rooms and hallways are dimly lit with low a drop-ceiling and it just feels cheap.
• 10sandyj (4/5): Skip - One bar of soap for both the shower and sink. The shampoo and conditioner was terrible and felt built up on my hair. Fire alarm went off about five times in the middle of the night.
• Abby (10/5): Highly recommend - It was comfortable and clean and the pool and hot tub were great at perfect temperatures
• scott (10/5): - Hot tub and bed were great! Breakfast needs alittle work
• leta (8/5): - Room looked clean but the first night and next morning there was quit a few ants on tbe end table. Hot tube was nice and warm pool was to warm. Staff was very nice.
• Michael (2/5): - Rude customer service along with manager. They did not let me change or cancel booking due to a car accident. I booked on same day and they would not even modify the dates instead they penalized and unwilling to work with me. Will not recommend if you can't even get past guest service.
• Susan (9/5): - Room size
• Monica (8/5): - The internet was quick and efficient. The hot tub was clean and right temp. The pool needs to be a little warmer and if there are suppose to be towels then there needs to be some or there will be wet footprints down the hall. The staff was friendly and had a good sense of humor!!
• Deborah (8/5): -
• Jennifer (8/5): - Hotel was clean, hot tub was excellent but needs cleaning around the water line (tile is dirty), pool was great, excellent staff, breakfast was enjoyable, only complaint is the room we stayed in smelled musty like mold.
• De (8/5): - This was a great hotel. But the management could be better. Our Organization booked several rooms at this lication that weekend. One of our performers was in a very bad and horrific accident. It was on the news and in the paper. We posted videos and pictures of the victims. A head on collision and they would not refund for that room. So sad that a hotel that would not do this after a bad accident and took away from a nonprofit organization. The staff was great but the management and owners were horrible. We never ran into something like this before. Im just glad noone was killed but our performer was injured badly and after a week is still in the hospital and has a long recovery ahead. We will probably use another hotel for years to come due to this incident.
• Vance (10/5): - Liked there was breakfast provided, pool and hot tub were open and cleaned. Staff very open and accomodating.
• Gibson (1/5): Dirty hotel - My friend got a room and it had bed bugs
• john (10/5): - no elevator, staff at front desk were great
• Shelley (10/5): -
• Mark (8/5): - Everything was nice and as you would expect
• Angela (10/5): - Clean & nice. Shower had excellent water pressure Shower had a crack in the floor that had been repaired (kinda). Was afraid to step there
• Michele (10/5): -
• Kris (4/5): - I was going to be arriving way later than my original time and was 6 hours after check in time. I tried to call the hotel probably 12 times to inform the staff of my late arrival and make sure I’d still have a room. They never answered the phone. When I got to the hotel to check in, there were 2 people working the front desk. No explanation as to why they couldn’t answer.
• Patrician (8/5): We were only in the room to sleep - Location and room size N/A
• Daniel (6/5): - Is a nice hotel with a decent size poll and a hut tub, grate for kids. However, there is no elevator and the pool area need some renovations.
• Shane (8/5): - Good: Room very clean, comfortable bed and good location. Breakfast good, but needs to add bacon. Casey's within walking distance. Bad: Given wrong room at check-in then ask to provide proof of room reserved. TV not working properly. Light we parked under was out. Drop in plug to hot tub nearly impossible to get out. We would stay here again ,but not in the same room.
• Emily (10/5): Just what we needed - Stayed for the Iowa State Fair with the family. The employees were always working hard and available if needed. We found the room clean, comfortable, and very accommodating for our needs. It was also a convenient location for all the things we did while in town.
• Sean A (8/5): - Rooms were clean
• Laurie (10/5): -
• Taryn (10/5): Family Getaway- Successful/relaxing - Rooms were clean, breakfast was always fresh and they kept the hot tray full. They had many varieties of food selections. Pool was spacious and perfect depth for kids. Hot tub was even better and kept at a perfect temperature. There was always someone at the desk and was very helpful with all our needs. Wifi is available and smart tv was available in our room for streaming access. We stayed 2 nights and they were the most comfortable and peaceful nights staying away from home. Very close to multiple attractions and shopping centers. We will definitely be returning in the future for our family trips!
• Cidney (10/5): Great experience - The hotel stay was amazing and we really enjoyed the jacuzzi in our room. The only downfall is that the breakfast options are the basic options at most hotels but it was still good. I would definitely stay here again.
• Kimberly (8/5): - Staff were very polite. Clean rooms. Clean pool area. Hot tub could have been a little warmer but overall, nice. Will return.
• Navia (2/5): - They give me the handicap room which is don’t have hot tub, the room was smiling bad, TV was not working properly.
• Ruth (8/5): Very good -
• Shawna (10/5): - I was very impressed with this hotel. Seemed quite new and modern. Very clean. The king room was very nice. Spacious. Had a chair with a footstool for relaxing. Office chair too for the desk area. Sink was on the outside of the restroom.
• Linda (8/5): Very good -
• William (5/5): Passable - Nothing to write with, no paper. One small bar of soap for both the shower and the sink. Fridge barely cool. Otherwise decent.
• Dustin (8/5): - Convenient location for what we needed cell service was not good though phone kept going into SOS mode
• Julianna (6/5): - Room lighting was very dark. Bath shower had considerable mold.
• Brad (8/5): - Clean, quiet, convenient to shopping and restaurants.
• Marie (6/5): - It was a ok hotel
• Jennifer (10/5): Delightful people. I will stay again. - Amazing staff from check in to check out! The non-breakfast was the biggest spread of a “non-breakfast” I have ever had. Quality breakfast snack type foods including yogurt, fruit, Otis Spunkmeyer muffins, Pop-Tarts in 4 varieties, breakfast bars, coffee, and tea. The only thing missing was hot food and milk. N/A
• Tamara (8/5): Great weekend getaway - Right next door to a Casey’s gas station. Lots of restaurants near by and only 10 minutes from Adventureland amusement park. The bed was kind of hard and the tv was in a weird spot so either had to lay on the bed or sit on the side to watch tv.
• Courtnie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Eric (10/5): - good room
• Seth (9/5): Superb -
• Cristie (8/5): - Good except shampoo bottle was empty
• Heather (6/5): - Staff was not the nicest. 5 of us staying and were only allowed 3-4 towels at a time. To get more towels we had to take dirty towels to front desk to exchange for clean. One wash rag was used to clean up a chocolate ice cream accident, staff gave attitude because of this and said I could be charged because now they have to use bleach to wash. Due to staff attitude and rudeness I would not stay here again.
• David (9/5): Had a wonderful time at the hotel. - Location, clean, comfortable. Nothing
• Hamilton (10/5): OVER ALL VERY SATISFIED ! - The king size bed comfortable .was very roomy and clean. For being on the first floor didn't hear anyone walking or loud noises from above room. Can't sleep in and still get breakfast.
• Kristin (6/5): So/so - We stayed for two nights; they don't offer house keeping during your stay, so you have to go to the front desk if you want more towels, shampoo, etc. Breakfast was ok, not so may options but warm eggs and sausage was great. The website and this app are outdated though, as they said they had an exercise room but did not. Pool room was very humid, very chlorine smell, so much so it'll make your eyes burn. That being said, I'm not sure if their venting system is working, as the door frames and metal all around the pool was very corroded and rusted out. Room could use more cleaning as we found popcorn under the bed from previous occupants.
• Shawna (6/5): - Nice pool area and great location. Bathroom was not cleaned well as a razor was left in the shower from a previous guest.
• Allen (8/5): Very good -
• Amy (8/5): - We booked what I thought was a king suite with a sofa bed for our mini vacation to Adventureland. We arrived in Des Moines an hour early and they let us check in early. However, the room was just a king bed, no sofa bed. The gentleman at the desk quickly helped us out and got us switched to a room with two queen beds. The room was clean, quiet and the AC worked great. Bed was comfy. Good value for the money. All the staff members I interacted with were accommodating and polite. The location is also great. Close to lots of restaurants and stores, and a 10 min countryside drive to Adventureland.
• Jenny (8/5): - Clean
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Mesch (4/5): Disappointing - Location Mold and mildew along the shower ceiling and water leaked under the shower wall toward the sink
• Cassandra (6/5): - Excellent staff, good water pressure in shower, bed was comfortable, quiet hotel, continental breakfast could use some healthier options, coffee is good, place is clean.
• Megan (8/5): -
• Jill (10/5): - The staff were amazingly friendly and so kind. They took care of all our needs!
• Sharon (7/5): You get what you pay for. Staff was pleasant and accommodating - I stayed three nights and asked for my room to be cleaned after the second night but it wasn’t. The refrigerator was not very cold and the phone didn’t work
• Mity (10/5): Exceptional -
• kasey305 (10/5): Home away from Home - AmericInn at Ankeny is my go to place when staying in Ankeny. The hotel is clean, my bed is comfortable, the staff is outstandingly friendly, and it has a HOT TUB to sooth aching muscles after a long day. And, they serve breakfast with coffee always available in the lobby.
• Jenna (8/5): Very good -
• Scholten (8/5): Satisfied - Average for motel breakfasts Lots of noisy kids.
• Andrew (8/5): - Very dark in rooms and pool area.
• Teranie (10/5): - I checked in the day before using the pre-check in option. It was so nice. When I arrived, she got my name and I was on my way within a few minutes.
• Marcus (4/5): Disappointing -
• Barb (8/5): Very good -
• Kimberly (4/5): - Everything was outdated in the room. The fireplace didn’t work, the jets in the jacuzzi tub in the room were dirty. Ruined our anniversary trip
• Lester (10/5): Great stay - It was great, the check in/check out was easy and convenient! Staff was warm, friendly and professional. I’d definitely recommend this hotel as a great place to stay and affordable….don’t let me forget that part!!!!
• Trip60252496502 (4/5): It's was ok - The Sofie beds very uncomfortable... My kids said sleeping on the floor is more comfortable. Could feel the springs inside the mattress. So not yet decided if we would return. Rooms very hot. Had to have a/c on in 40.00 weather Employees very nice help with what they could.
• Molly (4/5): - There was so much clorine in the pool it hurt to open your eyes in the pool room. The floor was gross and hair all over in the pool. Had to ask for towels twice. Place smelled like someone was smoking weed in the hallway. Took forever for someone to co.e help us at the front desk. Said to call on the phone yet there was no phone to call. The blow dryer was broken. Disapointed.
