Verified Reviews of Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines Merle Hay Road

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"Horrible"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The entire place smelled of Marijuana. We were on a non smoking side and people were coming out of there rooms smoking. The breakfast was cold and when I told the lady at the desk she acted like she didn't care. The first ice machine I went to never worked, I had to walk all the way to the lobby to get ice. The halfway floor was so unleavel it was like walking up small hills in spots.

Overall Score4.0/ 5
Everyone that we ran into were very helpful and very kind. Room was clean. My room was overlooking the liquor store roof, so the view wasn't spectacular, but it was quite! I actually needed quiet over a view šŸ˜‰ We were here.

"Horrible!"
Overall Score1.0/ 5
This hotel is worse than any Motel 6. Filthy, no hot water, drapes hanging off the wall. Filthy room, toilet seat not secured, sink faucet not secured, they mentioned a gym you hop on the treadmill you get two minutes and it shuts off. Do not stay in this hotel. They charge us $268 I'm going to try and get some money back.
