First room was really dirty. Fridge was moldy. Boogers on the wall, red substance running down the front of the couch. Chair was dirty. Bed spread had stains on it. Lifted up the mattress and garbage under the bed. Moved me to another room. This one was better, but wet spot on the bed. Lots of hair on the sheets. Won't stay again.

The front desk was very nice. Easy check in. My room was perfect. Very clean. I cannot remember the last time I slept in such a comfortable bed and with soft pillows! The hotel stayed quit all night. I got my needed rest. I will be staying there again!

Iād been driving for 9 hours on a trip back from LA and happy to be pulling back the cover at the Sonesta Des Moines to go to sleep. But this was short lived as to my surprise when I pulled the comforter back were clearly slept in sheets complete with makeup and hair. I called the front desk to ask for fresh linens and was told no he couldnāt. So Iāve put towels ON TOP of the comforter to sleep. Listen this is honestly my first negative review and it pains me to write it. I hope Sonesta will do better in the future. So disappointed. Gross.

One of our rooms was disgustingly dirty, it was obviously not cleaned before we arrived. There were dead bugs everywhere, spots on the beds, and a dirty toilet. We were in town for a graduation and already spent a lot of money for the rooms. It was too late to find another hotel to go to. You only have one chance to make a first impression, and if two of the two rooms have dead bugs everywhere, I donāt think going to another room will justify the lack of care and attention the staff gave to the rooms. I also find a lack of professionalism when the housekeeper has one child laying on the floor in the hallway and another child appearing to be āhelpingā do whatever they were doing in the rooms. Finally the outside of the hotel was very dirty, trash was over flowing and there were cigarette butts, and food wrappers everywhere. These events ruined what shouldāve been a longer stay and a more comfortable stay. I normally donāt like to leave negative reviews, when they refused to own up to their lack of professionalism and disgusting conditions I am left with no choice. I have provided pictures of the dead bugs in multiple places in the room, and for the sake of decency I did not take pictures of the contents of the toilet and the gross condition it was in.

The room was clean and fairly recently remodeled. The pictures and hotel description need updating. There are no tables in the breakfast area. There is no breakfast, although the description says there is. Just juice and coffee. That is fine for the price, however, what is now posted is inaccurate.
