Not the best hotel stay.

Right when you walked into a door to get in. The door was broke, so anyone could just walk in. Immediately an overwhelming smell of weed. The pool had no towels, and when asked for more towels the lady brought 3 towels and there was a total almost 10 people in the pool area. Pool smelled like mildew. Just not a great stay.

Toilet seat was loose and we almost fell off. I did fix it. I did not charge them. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. Other than that, we got a good nights rest.

Surprisingly Nice for the Price

This was very affordable hotel so I thought it might not be great. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and cleanliness of the room and staff. Would stay again if ever in town.

Trashy Hotel

The hotel was clearly run by 3rd world management. There were alcohol cans in the window sills both days we were there, towels in the hall that the staff ignored, overflowing garbage cans and genetal trash in walkways. I will not stay there again.
Lucas, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean, organized, and has the essentials at a great price
Jacob, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Cleanliness could definitely have been better. Hairs in the shower, of both kinds if you get my meaning so had to be washed down before using. Rest of stay was average.

Front desk clueless/not helpful

Out of the 5 nights stayed, got 1 night of good sleep. From the slamming of the door next door, that shook the room, for hours on end I can only assume nefarious activity.

Favorite place to stay in DSM.
