Greeted by dead bugs on the floor when I entered my room. Even though non-smoking, the room smelled of stale cigarette smoke. The guests next door where either having a party or argument, so the front desk moved me to another room. This next room had the same smell. Sheets had holes, blanket soiled and torn, and cigarette burns on the bathroom counter around the sink. The curtain also didn't cover the entire window. This is a tired old motel that needs either a good cleaning or closure. Won't stay there again.
Hey, this is not the Ritz, it’s a serviceable accommodation that accepts pets near the airport. So the night manager was friendly and efficient. The room was clean but has seen heavy use. The guests were quiet, mostly construction workers looks like so no rowdy stuff during the week. The stay was good enough. I recommend with understanding you know what you’ll be getting, price reflects that.
I needed an affordable motel in walking distance of the DSM airport so that I could return my rental car the evening before an early morning flight. Motel 6 was the perfect choice. It was located next to a local diner and a fabulous grocery store, was clean and simple and fully adequate for my needs. The staff was friendly and helpful.
Non smoking room but had a very heavy smell of smoke; enough that my clothes smelled like smoke long after we had left the room. There was also a lot of mold around and everything seemed to stained, including the bed.

It was OK. The building was a bit on the old side and the planes were a little too close.
I guess it's not standard operating procedure to clean the room every day. We had to ask for towels and toilet paper, and finally put used towels and garbage outside the door. The bed was made the first day and never again for the time we stayed, and the carpet is gross. We asked for a non smoking room and got a smoking room. How did we know? the cigarette burn marks on the bathroom counter and shower, and the smell. We unfortunately for Motel 6 won't be staying in one again.
We went to the iowa state fair. We had fun and it was amazing. We loved the motel and will always stay there if a room is available and if we need one. Thank you so much!
