La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines West Clive

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines West Clive

8/10 Good
"Wonderful breakfast. Fresh cut up fruit, hard boiled eggs and many other items to choose from. The room was clean but unfortunately the chair in the corner of the room was saturated with cigarette smoke from some inconsiderate previous guest. Didn’t figure out it was the chair until the last night. Accommodating to my dogs."
