Motel 6 - accommodation in Des Moines

This property was a surprise. As a low-cost hotel chosen for its proximity to the airport, it out-performed at every turn. The staff was helpful. The room was spacious and quite nice and there was a prompt shuttle to the airport. I recommend this property.

Certainly not handicap accessible. Stairs from either entrance to get to elevator to rooms. Self Parking was half a block away on a steep hill, parking garage poorly marked and hard to find. Once in garage, no indication of where to park for hotel guests and garage poorly lit, creepy, opens onto alley where homeless sleep at night. Staff had various stories about why there was no AC: not working, awaiting repair, not turned on for another month per law... Bed too large for room; less than18 inches between foot of bed and opposite wall, making it hard to get luggage in. I was to stay 4 nights, checked out after 1.

Had a wonderful three-night stay here. It’s in the perfect spot—just a quick 10-minute walk to Pike Place Market and excellent dining options. Parking was super easy, and Melba at the front desk was the absolute sweetest! Will definitely be back next time we are in Seattle.
