Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Road

Quality Inn & Suites Des Moines - Merle Hay Road

10/10 Excellent
"We stayed one night while traveling through Des Moines. The staff was friendly and very responsive to our questions. The room and bed were very comfortable. The pool looks great, although we didn’t use it. We did use the small fitness center. It has one treadmill, a stationary bike, and some free weights. Great value for price. We will stay here again on our return trip. "
