"Very clean. Breakfast good. Elevator not in service during our whole stay which was difficult for us older guests!"

"Enjoy the free parking. The rooms were clean and accommodating. We used the weight room, which was very nice. Did not use the pool, but others were using it and seemed to enjoy it. The outside area appeared nice and inviting. We played a few games of connected four, but were unable to use the pool table, as it was always occupied. The only concerns, is when we checked in, the girl was very soft spoken and I had to ask her to repeat things a few times. She seemed very robotic and not really engaging. Had a tough time finding the stairs as well. I have issues with vertigo and taking the elevator can cause dizziness, so would have liked to had the stairs visible from the front check in area. Breakfast was good. My son waited quite a long time for pancakes though, about 20 minutes and then they were a little sloppy. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and all of the accommodations and amentias available. We would stay here again in the future versus downtown Des Moines. The area has a lot to offer and seems pretty quant."

"Baymont Inn and Suites, North Des Moines, Iowa. Check In 3/28/2026 Check Out 4/02/2026 Paid in full in advance through Expedia Disabled room, bottom floor. Arrived to motel around 11:00pm, there were 2 guests in line ahead of us. I greeted the lady “Hi! How’s your evening?” She said “Well, I’m the manager, and I’m here at 11, so you figure it out..” Tone was frustrated and grumpy. She said the person that had my room before us was still in it, and the building was fully occupied, but she had a room for us in building B.. So my wife and I were led to the other building. My wife and I are seniors, she’s diabetic, I’m disabled- I have Cerebral Palsy, and I walk with difficulty with a cane and holding my wife’s hand.. then we’re told it’s on the 2nd floor. Thank goodness another guest carried our bag up the stairs for us! I had to hobble upstairs using my cane, my wife, and the railing, and had to rest half way up. We get in the room,(building B, room 265), and the first thing we notice is, the picture on the wall, hanging at a 45 degree angle. Then, it’s not a disabled room- I can’t use the bathtub. There’s no soap, shampoo, conditioner.. The room is cold.. there’s only a sheet on the bed. No blanket. No coffee pot. The tv doesn’t work. The fridge doesn’t work. The microwave doesn’t work. We go to bed wearing our coats to stay warm. We’re told later that our correct disabled room will become available at noon tomorrow.. Lots more, but I reached your max…"

"Great beds! Friendly and helpful staff Good location Water pressure not the best but probably not hotel’s fault"

"What a hell hole"

"Breakfast was good. We had to contact front desk to get hot water for sink and shower, difficult to get room comfortable with the window fan and air conditioner. "

"Clean and well kept building. Nice room and comfortable bed. Way too much chlorine in pool, air burned our eyes. But nice having hot tub and pool. Breakfast was fair at best compared to other places. Same menu Saturday and Sunday mornings. "

"Inexpensive, clean and comfortable room with breakfast and an indoor pool (which I did not visit). Absolutely no issues and I would definitely stay there again!"

"The staff is very nice and very understanding. The only thing I didn't like was I had to walk quite a distance to get food because I didn't have a car. But the owner or the main manager I think he's the owner was helpful and did offer a ride but not to me because he didn't know I needed a ride"
