Wyndham Garden Ankeny/Des Moines

5 stars to the room. We stayed in the room with 3 queen beds. Loved that they didn’t have carpet flooring. Very nicely remodeled. 1 star to the hot water situation. We didn’t get to swim in the pool since it didn’t open until 10am which was a big bummer for my kids. It looked nice. The workout room was good with decent cardio equipment but one of the treadmills did not work and it took me rebooting the other one to make that one work. They are doing well with the updates so hopefully they continue to update! Loved that it was connected to the Ankeny Diner and that we got $5 off per person to eat there. Staff was very responsive whenever we had an issue.

More accurate advertising. The rooms looked very nice in pictures not so in real life

I liked the ease getting to the Hotel. The staff was great. The doorways need to be cleaned better and there was some maintenance needed on the dresser and the bathroon sink in my room.

This place was disgusting, I wouldn’t even call it a motel. The staff was okay enough no spectacular service or anything but that wasn’t a big deal or really expected. I go into the room and right away it smells disgusting. It was supposed to be a no smoking room, but it reeked. I go to see the bed, and the pillow cases and well as the pillow and sheets have yellow stains and feel wet and smell like mildew. That’s only the start as the rug also had many stains and we haven’t even discussed the restroom yet. The restroom you can see black mold everywhere it was genuinely so disgusting as the tub is the shower would be budging out on the floor as it seemed like water was pooling up under the plastic or whatever it is. Oh and let’s not forget the dead roaches that I found as well. Genuinely such a horrible stay and would not recommend anyone to stay here as I felt so uncomfortable throughout the night and could not sleep peacefully. Worst stay ever ESPECIALLY considering the price is somewhat a premium for what was offered, absolutely regret booking this place. DO NOT BOOK HERE

Musty smell. Clean hotel room Room was clean. Manager that checked us in was very friendly. The hotel smelled musty upon entering the building and in all the halls and common areas. I did not realize that the pool area was open to the common areas resulting in the musty smell. Was looking for a room that had 3 beds for 3 adults. Attending Iowa state football game and needed a reasonably priced room. I do not think that I would choose this hotel again

Meh Pictures are better than reality. Camera’s everywhere which might seem safe but feels more creepy. No lighting in rooms. Carpet dated.

Like that the old diner was still attached to the hotel. That diner has awesome food

Older hotel with paint upgrades. Nothing crazy. You get what you pay for.

Price was great, surrounding area of restaurants was great. So far as our room not the best leaking ceiling in the bathroom area where water was constantly puddling, mold behind the door. Room wasn’t the cleanest & the smell was not the best. There was kids running around the hotel constantly, so noise control was non existent.
