A-1 Motel 5404 Southeast 14th Street, Des Moines, IA 50320

"Paid for a few nights without looking at the room. Discusting. Didn't stay. I wouldn't even let my dog sleep in this room. And they called it clean. If that was clean, I couldn't even imagine what's dirty to them. Bed sheets were stained. Food in the bed, nasty carpet looked stained muddy and bed looked like it came from a homeless camp. I didn't even check the bathroom. No refunds either. Wish I would have taken pics."

"Worse place ever. I had stayed there for 9 months and it was the worse. The bathroom ceiling leaks when it rains, the door at the bottom has about a 2 1/2 gap at the bottom so the it floods when it rains. When you say anything about the leaks they don't do anything about it. They give you a piece of foam to put at the door. I had to pay a 50.00 refundable deposits for each dog (100.) and a 10.00 room key and a 5.00 deposit for the remote which doesn't work. So when I was able to finally move out they refuse to give me my deposits back. I left the room cleaner then it was when I first got there. When I asked about my deposits I was accused of threatening her, which I never threatened in any way. Also when I asked for the owner's phone number I was told that I couldn't have it because they would lose their job. They stole my deposit which I'm intitled to have back, a total of 115.00. I really don't think the owner really knows what goes on there. They don't know how to fix anything or how to run a business."

"This place is horrible. The management there likes to threaten guests. The manager after looking her up through public records, have multiple theft charges. So who knows if the money is even going to the business. The so called on property maintenance man was outside caulking windows and doors from like 1030pm to like 130am. That is kind of odd if you ask me. I don't think the owner actually has a clue as to what is going on there. First motel I have ever heard of having a 10pm curfew for guests to have visitors. This place is pretty iffy to me. I wouldn't stay here if it was the place on earth. Enter if you dare."

"Worst place i have ever been to. Stains everywhere. Attempted to double charge me when my card was swiped when i wasnt looking. Toothpaste on the bathroom floor after the room was "cleaned" when i checked in. I knew the check out time and was rudely awakened an hour and a half before checkout time ( i worked nights) reminding me of the check out time. This place ABSOLUTELY needs to be shut down but the police wont do anything. There was also no batteries in the smoke detector."

"Very dirty. Room had not been cleaned,prior to checking in. Trash under bed. Cigarette butts behind nightstand. Mold in trash can, bath mat had mold all over too. Shoes stuck to bathroom floor. Carpet filthy. And, the bathroom sink broke. No smoke detector in room. The worst...found a bedbug. While I wasn't expecting the Ritz,all I needed was a clean room. I would not reccomend this dump, to my worst enemy. Place should be condemmed."
