Des Moines motels

Cons: The soap dispensers weren't filled up.

Cons: I had food that needed a refrigerator and the room did not have one. No microwave either. I got bug bites on my foot.

Cons: There were a few places on the walls where the paint could have been touched up. I'm also not a fan of the soap dispensers in the shower. Just a personal preference, and I usually bring my own.

Cons: Wifi password wasn't posted anywhere, went and asked for it and it was a bunch of numbers and I went back to my room and typed it in and it was wrong... no shampoo or conditioner in shower.

Cons: Outside of the motel and the sign makes it look very cheap and crummy (fortunately it is just a ruse and it's nice inside). Shower head was a little weird to me, (has high enough pressure but spray is pretty narrow, and I had to duck a bit).

Cons: Uncomfortable bed and rough feeling sheets. Close to the road, so plenty of noise from trucks. Some ants in parts of room.

Cons: The bed was stiff as a board. I like firm beds, but those mattresses were like planks.

Cons: Nothing,really. You don't expect more from an Econo Lodge.

Cons: There were many signs that the hotel was undergoing renovations in the lobby, but room bathrooms were very dingy looking, bordering the question of if they’re actually clean.

Cons: I needed a place to stay in my move across the country. I was pulling a trailer and had a good estimate of timing for when to stop to rest for the night but got behind schedule. I called around 5pm in hopes of being able to switch my stay to somewhere earlier along my drive but could not because I had booked online. I then let the staff know I would not be in until about 3am. Apparently no record of this phone call was written down or communicated to the person working the desk because once I finally arrived at 3:45am, they had already marked me as a no show and did not want to let me in my room. After some convincing, I got my key to finally get some rest so I could take off to continue my drive again the next day.
