We were in Ankeny for a family wedding and spent the night at the Staybridge, The room and public areas were all immaculate. The receptionist was very engaging and helpful and we couldn't be happier with our choice.
The woman at the desk 4pm 3/11/23 was wonderful. Water pressure was weak like other reviews said but nothing I would be a “Karen” about. The kiddos enjoyed the pool. We stayed one night but I would book again for sure!
This hotel is in a great area, just a short walk away from some excellent restaurants and coffee shops and very close to the downtown area. The hotel feels very quiet and out-of-the-way though, not very noisy at all. The room itself was very clean and comfortable and the staff was very friendly. I would definitely stay here again!
This is the 2nd stay at this hotel, both times the pool has been tooooo cold to use..this hotel does not have a hot tub as advertised...room bathroom floor was sticky and when wiped up towel turned dark from the dirty floor...
We met our friends here for the weekend. Hotel was clean with nice amenities! It was in a great location for walking around downtown. There are plenty of bars and restaurants in the area! We’ll definitely be back!
I have had an excellent 3-day stay at this hotel. The beds are comfortable, towels are thick and room is nicely updated, quiet and clean. Totally love the telescoping magnifying mirror on the wall and I really appreciate having a cover on the toilet. (Some places don’t have that anymore. 😱)
Breakfast had many choices: awesome waffles, fruit, whipped cream, cereal, bagels and cream cheese, hard boiled eggs, and alternating hot egg and sausage choices, and daily biscuits and gravy (highly recommended).
The pool area is small but functional.The hot tub was in working order and the water temperature was good. (I personally like it a little hotter, but that’s just me.) Just ask if you want the lights turned on while you’re in there.
I had no problem checking in and staff was very helpful throughout my stay.
A previous reviewer had showed concern about the fire doors not being closed at all times, however, they are magnetic and will automatically close in the case of a fire, so no worries there.
Location is convenient to a major arterial and interstate and I had no problems finding the hotel. Close to many popular locations.
Thanks for a great stay at a reasonable price.
