WoodSpring Suites Ankeny des Moines

I like the quiet area, but didn’t expect not to have any pots for cooking my food. As a traveler last thing to pack was pots to cook and a coffee pot or water kettle to make coffee. Front desk receptionist mention is an extended hotel, Um I have stayed before on extended hotel that actually provide basic essentials. 1pot, 1coffee maker , sponge and soap to clean up. Providing this can potentially create more revenue. Compared to selling the pot set for $35.00. I understand some folks stay long term up to 5yrs, selling a set can be beneficial but NOT for travels staying 2nights, like cmon. We were in the area for graduation weekend.

No ice machine, limited vending (no water, only pop). Had to take garbage to the back dumpster before checking out. No hand towels, only 2 wash cloths and two bath towels. Had a kitchenette but no cookware or dishware.

Phone did not work. Blind did not shut all the way. Heater was stuck on high. No hand towels.

The bed linens didn't appear to be very clean. There is a distinct smell of cigarette smoke in the building. The person above me sounded like they were walking around and sliding furniture all night.

Room was very cleani, which is usually one of my first complaints so that was that was great refrigerator glass stove top hot water shower all great. My biggest thing was I couldn't get the heater to work at all and it was very cold..

Very clean, friendly staff, minimalist style, very cozy, full size refrigerator, and kitchenette with stove top, microwave, cutting space, sink, cabinet space, very nice.

I was only here for a very short stay, the staff is friendly enough, and I just got back from a Halloween wedding. I checked in late when I got here and I have to leave very early for a funeral. I walked in and there was a cockroach crawling over my dress for tomorrow. I'm going to check for bed bugs too, and make sure I don't have any more cockroaches in my bags so I don't bring anything home with me. The second floor kind of smells like **** too. So I would definitely give this place only a star. We also have to take our own trash with us, isn't that is what I pay them for? This place is kind of low class and grossed me out so I won't be staying here again. I also left early. I would go ahead and just spring for a better hotel and not stay here.

WoodSpring Suites in Ankeny I went to this hotel and found the lobby shutter closed at 6PM, call the guy and he provided a room which was not ready, dirty, smelled every where. I decided not to stay as I did not feel safe and left the Hotel.

Parking was good. Is not secured 24 hours like the building says outside. And you have to take your own trash out otherwise its a $50 charge if you dont. The building needs to be cleaned better, like walls wiped down, floor mopped, elevator cleaned badly.
