Great motel!
We really love this place, have stayed there at least five times and always try to make it part of our itinerary. The staff are great! The rooms are clean! They are pet friendly! There is a yummy pub in downtown proper (Ruby’s) about a mile from the motel. Stay here. ♥️♥️♥️

We enjoyed our stay at the Stuart Motor Lodge. The staff were efficient and friendly. The room was spacious and comfortable and in very good condition. We had a very quiet evening and a great night’s sleep for a reasonable price. We would definitely stay again.

Not very comfortable
Motel is old and needs updating. It was clean. But the bed and pillows were not comfortable. Listened to semi trucks run all night.

Stay here instead of Des Moines, this place is SUPER CLEAN! This is our new stop for the night after dinner at the Iowa Machine Shed in Urbandale, well worth the extra 30 minute drive! Highly recommend!!!!

Clean and comfortable
We needed a quick, inexpensive place to stay while driving through the area. This was a perfect option. The motel is old and outdated but clean. Bed was comfortable (pillow was not) and it ha d everything we needed. Convenient location right off the highway. Friendly staff person. Would stay again if we passed through town
