La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

8/10 Good

"All good. We had a big barking dog next door. Quiet at night but barked every time we walked by. Very good breakfast and very friendly staff as always. Very convenient to several restaurants- don’t laugh but the nearby Outback was probably the best restaurant experience we’ve had in years- try it."

Comfort Inn & Suites Event Center

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay if you’re going to be gone all day. The person who was doing the continental breakfast did an excellent job and I can tell she takes a lot of pride in what she’s doing. The front desk was pretty nonchalant. Not particularly friendly and definitely not rude. Just there to check us in. Pretty efficient. There was a lady talking pretty loud on the phone to another guest about replacing something and getting it mailed out. Kinda odd she wouldn’t take that call to the back office. The room was small with two queen beds. Everything was clean. On one pillow there was a stain so I just didn’t use it. The beds…the beds were horrible. We tossed and turned all night long. The mattress was so hard. For that reason alone, we will not use another Comfort Inn."
