We came into town and the Comfort Inn and Suites was close to where we were going, and the reviews were good, so we gave it a try. It should have been better. I'll start with the pluses. The location was great. Jordan Creek Parkway is a busy road, and there's a light at the Starbucks that makes access easy. There are a lot of choices for restaurants, shopping, and attractions in a short driving distance. That covers the positives. Now to the negatives, and it wasn't one glaring thing, but a buildup of little things. The bathroom has about an 18" towel rack, and no towel hanger on the door. There were two of us in the room, so we had no place to hang towels. We asked the desk twice during the three-night stay to drop off fresh towels. That never happened. I kept having to go to the desk for towels. The breakfast was just okay. The first day had pork sausage and turkey sausage. The second and third they only had the turkey sausage, which tastes like sawdust. I used the bathroom in the lobby each day. each day I let the desk know that either the men's room was out of soap, or the dispenser wasn't working. I stayed three nights. This was never addressed. Also, it looks like they never quite finished the bathroom, as there is a big gap along the shower. A picture has been provided below. This is how mold happens. Finally, the place was loud. Someone upstairs kept stopping around at all hours and doors started slamming in the halls at about 6:00 AM every day. A good night of sleep was not going to be had. It doesn't look they finished the job when the installed the shower. If we come to West Des Moines again, I doubt I'll stay here again.
