Top Octagon Center for the Arts Hotel Reviews

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ankeny IA - Des Moines IA

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast service area was very well designed and worked much better than most. The breakfast was excellent. Our only complaint was that apparently someone in an adjoining room was smoking in their bathroom with the vent fan. In any event, cigarette was coming into our bathroom. After I turned on our vent fan, the smoke was expelled, and everything smelled clear again in a short time."

"Checkin was easy and the staff friendly. Our room was small but efficient for 2 people. The bathtub and shower had hairs on them. The carpet had not been vacuumed well, behind the door and under tables was very dusty. The curtain on the windows was very dirty as well. Nothing terrible but it could use a deep clean. Breakfast was simple, bagels, muffins, waffles,boiled eggs."
