Detailed Reviews
When I arrived at the hotel, there was no soap in the room and a dead bug on the floor. The television was even on. It would seem that the room was not cleaned from the last guest. I arrived late and just went to sleep. The next day I could not shower. The bathtub filled with water, never drained, and there was no hot water. I complained and they stated I would have to wait until the next day to have my grievances heard. I left without being able to shower and the only cleaning I could do was in cold water, in the winter time, where I was lucky I did not catch pneumonia. They provided only a partial refund, but that is acceptable. Nobody contacted me about fixing the problem after I first made the complaint. This is the worst place I ever have stayed and I will NEVER EVER stay here again!

Don't waste your money or time checking into this hole in the wall. It is the worst experience EVER. Hotel room was filty. Even had a booger on the wall to complete the rest of the filth. The pool area was the most digusting pool I've seen. Mold bacteria and whatever else growing everywhere. I demanded my money back a short time after checking in and paid the extra 20 bucks a night to stay at the motel 6. At least it was clean and we could actually use the pool. This place should be ashamed to charge people anything to stay here. It should be SHUT DOWN!!!!

We stayed here on August 14, 2013. It was awful. We got to the hotel at 11:10 p.m., and we did not get into our room until just before midnight. The front desk lady would not tell us what was going on - she just kept trying to call the manager. They had our reservation in the system, but they did not have a room ready for us. The manager had to go check out our room to see if it was ready. It wasn't, so she had to make the beds. Why in the world were the beds not made during the day???? This is during the Iowa State Fair which should be their busiest time of the year. We finally get a room and the manager says she'll just write down my card number so I don't have to wait. HECK NO! I wouldn't let her write it down - told her I'd rather wait. What was she thinking. The room was terrible. The locks on the door were broken. There was pink slime on the night stand. The TV only got one channel. There were 2 towels in the room for 4 people. I was incredibly happy to get out of here the next day. DO NOT STAY HERE. Never again for us.

Nice basic hotel. It used to be a Best Western, I think. Now it's privately owned so it's not listed on a lot of the hotel resources.
The pool area is nice - with a tropical feel to it. They're very accomodating to groups and special requests. We've been going there for several years as a weekend getaway/family get-together, and it's very convenient.

First off the sign says Budget Inn but the hotel name is now Extend a suites. The front desk lady was very friendly and quite helpful with directions and giving us info on the area however, the other staff and my stay was HORRIBLE the first room i went in smelled like smoke and i had killed 3 cockroaches with in 10 minutes of being in the room I went to request a refund and they would not refund my money they instead put me in another room which seemed unsafe the window was busted and the lock on the door didnt work. Rather than waste my time complaining i decided to try to tough it out. As soon as i pulled the covers back there were bed bugs. That was it I went straight to the manager and she was very rude, she told me there was no refunds she could move me again or i could deal with it. That was it, i took my luggage and drove to the hotel down the street.

We were driving to Colorado from PA and planned on stopping over in Des Moines on our first night of the trip. After driving all day, we booked the Extend A Suite hotel through Priceline.
When we got off the exit we could not find the hotel as there was no sign out front. We called and the front desk had no idea who we were/did not have our reservation but gave directions anyway.
We pull into the parking lot and immediately knew something was off. There were maybe 3 cars and some seedy looking guys outside sauntering around with beverages in brown paper bags, smoking cigarettes. We were immediately sketched out but pulled around back and decided to check it out.
We left our car and hesitantly walked in the back door, through the hotel, to the front desk and along the way we saw doors cracked open with barely clothed people inside, dirty carpets, cigarette smoke everywhere, and you could even see from the outside that some curtains were pulled down off of the windows in the rooms.
When we made it to the front desk the women at the counter were in street clothes and shot us a "what are you doing here" kind of look. We explained that we had booked a room on Priceline but they couldn't find the reservation, thank goodness, so we thanked them and bolted out of there. I could not get out of there fast enough.
I am not a picky person when it comes to hotels but this place felt straight up dangerous. My best assumption is that this place is some kind of drug den/hang out for local ne-er-do-wells. I would not under any circumstances recommend that anyone set foot inside this place, let alone spend a night there. Just keep going!!

We came to Des Moines over Valentine's weekend and decided to stay at this motel. The outside does not reflect inside. When we pulled in it looked nice outside. We entered the lobby and still looked nice but it all went to hell after that. The staff MAY LOOK FRIENDLY but looks can be deceiving. Check in sign says 2pm it was after 4 pm before we were able to check in. The room we were given was in dire need of repair. The carpets were ripped, beds are well a joke, the hot water WAIT what hot water.... Heat is only lukewarm, the door didn't lock properly no security locks on door.
Went to lobby to talk with employee about room and overheard manager yelling at a housekeeping employee.
We will NOT stay at this motel ever again. I'd sleep in my car first.

We rented a room at this disgusting hotel. Our first clue should have been when the gal at the front desk said "Do you want to look at your room before you pay for it? If you don't inspect it, you can't get your money back." I thought it was a weird request, but never imagined what we would walk into.
The room smelled like cat urine to the point I almost puked. No sheets on the bed, only a dirty foam mattress pad. The bathroom was filthy with scum on top the water in the toilet and the sink was not clean whatsoever. There was stains all over the bed and walls and chairs with no cushions. I wouldn't be surprised if a homicide had occurred in the room.
We did not stay at the room and left and I reported it to the health department. Totally disgusting!!! This place should be condemned.
