Courtyard Des Moines West/Clive - Clive, Iowa

Alex Dunham

The room was very clean, the front desk attendant was amazing and the Gal behind the bar, on a quiet Monday night was really personable and I enjoyed picking her brain about things to do in Des Moines. She pointed me to a great local's style bar nearby where I had an excellent time (The Flying Moose, which I also reviewed). The people at spots like this, a regular but clean and nicely appointed hotel make it a notable experience!

Pros- hotel was clean, staff was friendly, pool was nice, and the best part....the showers had great pressure and hot water.

Cons- The hotel was freezing, 90° outside and you need a jacket when walking through hallways. No free breakfast, when I booked I thought it had free breakfast and it didn't. They have a bistro, but it's spendy. Why would I spend money on hotel bistro food when there's an amazing diner a few blocks down the road that was about the same cost.

The facilities are clean and well lit inside and out.

Parking included handicap parking. The main bathrooms and front doors are handicap accessible.

The inside front has been remodeled to the nice bistro area.

The staff is kind and helpful , however not really up on feathers and down.

My room was mostly feather free- accept the down comforter! Causing the need to strip the bed and place blankets on it.

I still had a slight reaction to the feather and down residue but my allergy medicine did minimize it.

There certainly is a need to highlight American with Disabilities Act as well as storing feather free bedding in a separate safe area that is clearly marked so staff is not guessing at what they have.

The hallways and rooms look ready for an update.

We stayed here on points for one night whilst passing through; given we paid with points, we splurged on the high pet fee.||The lobby area looked renovated; the rooms were not. Our 1st floor room was tired, had a stale smell, and oddly had the TV placed such that you couldn’t lay in bed comfortably and watch.||There is a coffee maker in the room, but no free coffee in the lobby. There was also a small fridge in the room, and a very small (older) microwave. ||The parking was ample, and seemed safe. The night we stayed there was a stabbing at the hotel next door, which made me concerned about taking the dog outside early in the morning. Hopefully that was an isolated incident.

The staff and service is great here. Very friendly and helpful, definitely went above and beyond when we checked in. The rooms are a nice size and clean, but the big con is that the bed is not at all comfortable. They definitely haven't rotated this mattress in a REALLY long time. You can feel the indentations where people have slept. But thus far, that's my only complaint. May update this review later.

The amenity spaces were in good condition, but our room and the stairwell we used had broken things.
We also couldn't use the luggage carts when we left because there were only 2 and the 2 attendants had no idea where they were.
Also the halls were kind of dark because the overhead lights are spaced too afr apart.
Lastly there was no Continental Breakfast.
We won't be staying here again.

The room itself was fine, but I stayed for five days and not once did they come in to change trash or change towels. Multiple of the outlets did not charge my computer on my desk and my laptop was dead in the morning for work. My main issues were the fridge did not work and I had to move the desk to plug in the microwave in the room. I wouldn’t have had had much issue with it if it wasn’t for the lawn service putting a leaf blower next my room in the middle of a work meeting.

It was a great spot for one night. They need to upgrade the look. Just feels a little dated but otherwise it was a comfy bed and nice atmosphere. ?
