Motel 6 West Des Moines offers updated rooms that are very clean and provide adequate space with comfortable beds, though some mattresses may slide. The staff receives praise for being nice and super, with special appreciation for helpful service. The price is considered excellent. However, experiences vary. Some guests report issues like malfunctioning lights, mold and odor in fridges, and very thin walls leading to noise disturbances from other guests. The smell of weed can be strong. The property is very basic, lacking amenities like a coffee pot, hair dryer, or iron. The outside and common areas need updating, and the pool is filled with concrete. While many guests plan to stay again and highly recommend it, others note inconsistencies with weekend staff and cleaning standards.
Sheets nice clean. Restful sleeo, Sain is very helpful.

Beds comfortable. Floors in the room were sticky and when I told the front desk they said the housekeeping staff was tired and asked if I wanted some spray to clean it myself. Hallways smelled of marijuana when we got there and in the morning they smelled like urine. Will never stay here again.

Hotel looks recently redone. Super duper nice motel 6. Felt safe, super friendly front desk. Room was spotless, modern, and quiet. We had our dogs along. We all enjoyed the stay. Would definitely stay again.
