Clarion Inn Des Moines Airport
"We couldn’t use the jacuzzi, got $50 of our deposit taken when we were told there was a $150 deposit. We even cleaned the room before we left to make sure we would get it back so if I don’t get that deposit back this isn’t gonna be good. Would never recommend this to anyone with the hidden feed"

"The whirlpool hot tub was broken down. The main front door was broken. The lobby floor had a caution: wet, slippery sign up the entire time. I was sliding around in my cross everything I walked through."
