Hotel was run down, the room had a strong odor, tv didn’t work, no towels at pool we asked for towels but never received them. We did not stay overnight and ended up leaving. I am waiting to hear from the hotel for compensation

The beds were not very comfortable and there were stains in the tub. Breakfast was terrible. The southern gravy was cold and the sausages bland. I picked this place because breakfast was included but don't be fooled.

“Great for a one-night stay on the way from point A to point B.”
Breakfast was good. The place was quiet, the beds were comfortable and clean. We liked the fact that there was a fridge and a microwave in the room.

“I would definitely stay here again”
Good location, clean, good staff. I submitted a review saying that we had been charged again a couple of days later and it rather spoiled the stay… having just messaged directly through Booking.com the hotel responded with in a few mins to say they had rectified the situation, sincerely apologising… top marks to AmericInn at Des Moines 😁

Clean and pleasant, small room but serviceable for two people. Bed was very comfortable! Higher end bedding was a bonus. This was our first stay at Americinn; we will definitely choose them again.

“The hotel was pretty basic and felt that way. Not very classy in any way.”
Meh! White bread. No cooked eggs. Just passable

“Maybe a general issue with hotels in the US. No value for money. In Germany you would get fired.”
Nothing special. Expensive but nobody seems to care. General issue in the USA.
