motel a West Des Moines

I traveled to this Super 8 with a large group of students who would be competing in the National Speech and Debate Association competitions in Des Moines. Our group traveled for more then 18 hours to get there from the Northern Mariana Islands after a stop overnight on the Island of Guam. We were a very tired group. The front desk got to work right away, to get us into our rooms so we could head out to do a little shopping for necessities and have a Dinner nearby were we hit a Jack Pot right away. The Mexican restaurant is the best. Getting back to the Super 8. The staff were great. The rooms were clean and ready to go with a couple of exceptions that they fixed immediately. One was a cleaning over sight in one of our numerous rooms, the other an odder. Both, as noted, were taken care off immediately. I expected the rooms to be basic, but they were better than basic. The décor was lively, the beds great, the amenities top rate. Everything worked. Traveling with students is not the easiest thing in the world, but the Super 8 staff did everything they could to help us out. They were attentive and responsive. On long stays, the staff makes the difference, especially with a large group. This staff was tops. The competitions will be held in Des Moines again next year, and for sure we know where we want to stay....again!
