Frustrating due to schedules at airport
It was very good except was trying to get a flight out of Des Moines and that has been terrible. That is no fault of the motel.

This is not a honeymoon suite or a summer vacation rental.
This is a "stop driving/working and get your head down for a decent night's sleep" kinda place, before getting up and carrying on with your journey/labour somewhat rested.
It is priced accordingly.
I watched staff work hard at keeping it clean.

Stayed here multiple times. Usually really clean in the rooms. Area is next to a truck stop and freeway so it can feel a little unsafe as a young woman but I’ve never had issues.
