Overall Ratings & Reviews WoodSpring Suites Ankeny Des Moines

No card reader, don't take checks. It's 2025

This hotel was dirty and I felt unsafe in the parking lot. People walking around the lot staring. Slamming doors all night, ac hardly worked, and I couldn't sleep because of pot smell coming into my room. I don't recommend this hotel at all.

Not a place for short stays. Its extended stay. Guests who bring their household appliances like coffee makers, toasters, utensils, plates, pots, pans, food and drink, auxillary bathroom table/counter space, etc will be OK. OTHERWISE, You are out of luck.

Good

Our room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. I would definitely stay there again. I loved that they did not have any carpeting in the room.

Didn’t feel safe in property, so we left.

Check in was OK...pretty standard. Rooms are AWFUL. Our first room was dirty: holes in dirty sheets, dirty bathroom, dirty kitchenette, had what appeared to be marijuana ash on the bathroom counter, smelled like smoke. They offered to change rooms for us. Second room was cleaner, still had a funky smell. This room had a busted leg on one of the beds, TV was broken, and the bathroom light was falling off the wall. After complaining the front desk attendant got snippy with me like it's my fault. At that point I said we're leaving. Was there about an hour and a half total. Stayed at an Econolodge about 2 miles away which was great. They told us they had 2 other families leave this hotel and check in that night as well. Probably great if you're a meth head truck driver (which there were quite a few there that night), but not if you have children expecting a decent clean room for a night.

House keeping policy wasn’t the best. Hotel don’t disclose taxes a fees in the agreement. No deposit required is good.

I felt the property was very clean as well as the rooms.

Close to convenience store's,close to freeways

It was nice for an overnight stay

It was close enough to ISU. It was clean and quiet

I realize this is an extended stay but its pretty run down and furnishings are not very nice. Not even a comfortable chair to sit in. I stayed a month at this location about 10 years ago and it was much nicer back than.

Good deal

They don't have dumpsters anywhere in the area we sat out trash outside of the door and they kept my deposit because they said I violated the terms by leaving it there when I don't know where they were expecting it to go

Nothing unique ok stay a little noisy

I could hear something crawling on my floor all night and the only switch to turn the light on was by the door.

the rooms are smelly

Very good!

Excellent stay
