Hotel Dengan Bar di Iowa, United States

Overall, this would be a good hotel property - not amazing - but good. However, the insanely bright flashing light of the smoke detector (compared to smoke detectors in dozens of other hotels rooms I've stayed in through years of work-related and recreational travel) requires a WARNING: Bring a sleep mask. Or you may want to pack some masking tape or duct tape to temporarily cover the bulb of the smoke detector (of course, without doing anything that would interfere with its operation). This may not be an issue if you are not a heavy sleeper or if you find flashing lights restful. Even sleeping in a position that faced away from the detector, the intense, flashing, green light (about every 10 seconds) lit up the ceiling, walls, and sides of the pillow. I've experienced issues with flashing smoke detector lights before - but none like this one. Who was the unqualified buffoon at Marriott who selected this model for a room intended for sleep?! Apart from this [significant, for me] flashing-light-in-room issue, the hotel was decent. It seemed safe and reasonably clean. The rate was reasonable. The front desk staff were professional and competent. Bedding was comfortable. The location is convenient for accessing nearby downtown Omaha. The setting is a little bland - in the middle of an area of parking lots and sports venues. You'll need a car to get to more interesting areas of Council Bluffs & Omaha for meals, etc. The soundproofing is not great. We could hear our neighbors TV clearly most evenings as well as noise in the hallways. The hotel provides coffee but does not offer tea - in the rooms or in the front lobby. I guess the same genius who saved money by buying a combo smoke detector/lighthouse decided that lowering service another notch in order to save $0.50 per guest (on tea) was a smart idea for a business in the hospitality industry. A final note on the smoke detector. The light bulb on this model illuminates both on the outside (like most models) but also (deviously!) within the inside of the plastic frame - and the frame has a big grating. So even if you put a small piece of tape or a band-aid on the exposed, outside part of the bulb, you will still get to see some flash from within the grating. With apologize to the reader if this review seems a bit obsessed with the smoke detector, but I have stayed in literally hundreds of hotel rooms and not experienced a flashing smoke detector light THIS intense before. My primary goal for my hotel room is sleep, and it boggles my mind that someone chose a model with a very bright flashing light for a hotel room. Come prepared.

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.

Everything was wonderful. Super clean. King bed was so comfortable! Front desk offered us bottles of water and warm chocolate chip, nut, oatmeal cookies when we arrived. Spacious room. Loved the experience.

房間乾淨，服務優質。

It was super clean and comfy the breakfast was great

First key given had someone sleeping in the bed.... I feel they overcharge for early check in and she forgot to give me my change

The breakfast lady was ride the charger did t work and couldn’t watch tv without static and no one was at the desk to check us in

I love staying here when I'm in Des Moines but I usually have to wait until off peak times, like Tuesday through Thursday.

No itemized receipt. The hotel just charges whatever they want and you have no idea for what. Cash less amenities bar, anyone can charge to any room without verification. Pretty sure unless there's a $120 charge for nothing, I paid for someone else's stuff.

Seems as though all of the vending and ice machines weren't working on the first floor. Lots games were out of order as well. I'm also pretty sure my room had a mouse in it.

The staff was so friendly! We had a bit of miscommunication between the hotel and trip.com regarding payment, but they got it worked out quickly and the staff were quick to make things right for us! We enjoyed both the hot tub & pool and both were exactly what we needed!! The hotel was far enough from downtown to be peaceful but close enough that everything was accessible. The biggest thing that stood out was how accommodating the staff were. Absolutely recommend.

Room was clean and the hot tub and pool was very nice and clean.

The hotel was so great. Perfect location, nice staff, clean room. Would definitely recommend as an affordable hotel to stay while in DTDM

Close to the airport, there are many choices for meals on the side, parking is also convenient, spend a leisurely night, breakfast is quite satisfactory waffles, cereal milk bread slices or something.

They couldn’t accept my card and asked take 100$ cash from them ATM WITH 3.5$ charge! I was there only for one night!

Two bedrooms, one king bed, two Queen beds, two families, and a washing machine dryer on the first floor, very convenient!

Very clean, suitable for staying

Hotel location is a bit remote, but there is a bus in front of it, about 40 minutes, there are many places to eat around, it is far from the supermarket, the price is cheap, it feels very good

I have stayed here off and on for about 4 years now and it's a quiet place for the most part. I know the owners and staff pretty good very nice people. Great staff always making you feel at home and at ur service at any given time. But you also have it own privacy as well. Perkins is across the st and if u mention ur staying at motel 6 you get a 10% discount off ur bill. And there's plenty of parking and ur within walking distance of gas stations and restaurants wether it be fast food or a family restaurant to a local bar establishment with food and entertainment. Great place to stay and convenient to the interstate and highway! Thank you to the staff for all their hard work. And thanks to the owners for their hospitality.

I always love this hotel. One of the bests! Great service, great room, amazing price.

The room is spacious, quiet and clean. Staff is helpful. There are a few restaurants nearby.

The comprehensive service quality of the hotel is in line with the hotel's rating and price/performance ratio. Travelers choose this accommodation place is an ultra-high choice. The hotel offers free breakfast service. The facilities are also relatively new and pleasant. Would like to recommend travelers to choose to stay at this hotel.
