AI Summary
Convenient location near highway, shops, and restaurants. Friendly and accommodating staff, especially for disabled guests. However, some guests found the pillows uncomfortable and experienced dampness in some rooms.

Everything was fine except the front desk sexually harassing me and making me so uncomfortable that I had to leave

This is a clean motel. The rooms are clean. Really good housekeeping here. Courteous staff. If I'm ever traveling thru Des Moines again, this will be my place to stay.

The room is relatively small, similar to that in Hong Kong, but it looks relatively tidy, so the price-performance ratio is okay. The only complaint I have is the breakfast, we woke up early and ended up with just a few slices of bread and a small amount of coffee.
