Staybridge Suites des Moines North - Ankeny

This is a wonderful motel. Decided to do a local "staycation" for a girl’s weekend with two 10-year-old girls. We had a studio, 2 queens with kitchenette and it was just wonderful. The room was spot on clean, comfortable beds and even a nice sized, very clean, hide-a-bed for the two girls. There were enough dishes for 4 along with a two-burner stove top and full-size fridge. I felt the room was bigger than the pictures on the website showed. Breakfast was great every morning and the swimming pool was perfect for the kiddos. There wasn't a hot tub for us adults, which was a disappointment but it didn’t make or break our stay. The front desk staff was super amazing and we enjoyed talking with them. I would love to stay here again and probably will if the opportunity arises. On a side note: I had read reviews that speak of an odor, but what I smelled was good ol' Iowa, where you can smell the humidity some days and the nearby farm lands. When you step in the elevator there is a slight aroma, but it just smelled like rain and again, humidity. (it is close to the swimming pool and laundry area)

Room was clean and spacious. The breakfast options on Saturday was a little disappointing, but Sunday was very good. The parking was not so good. Lot was full most of the evenings. Need more parking room.

Hallway smelled like sewer, Saturday night & Sunday morning. Not a good way to get us to come back.

Poor management at this IKG hotel. There was a fight going on in one of the rooms close to me throughout the night and I notified the front desk. The following morning I asked for a credit for the night stay with no sleep and the manager said she would get that done. Three weeks later no credit was issued and I had to elevate the case to IHG corporate to get something done. Management here only offers lip service and I would not allow this group to manage a Seven Eleven. Stay clear!

This is our second time staying at this hotel in Ankeny, Iowa. The first time there were few people staying at the hotel. This time there were many more people, but the hotel room was still quiet and very nice. The hotel room is very roomy compared to many other hotels. The bed is comfortable. Very comfortable.

I wish I could stay longer had an amazing experience from check in to check out.
