Priceline Hotel: 2.5* West Des Moines Courtyard Marriott $30

[Nautica3]

2 1/2* Courtyard by Marriott,

West Des Moines, IA

(possibly also listed as Clive, IA)

June 29th - July 3rd

$30/night

I forget the actual taxes & fees, but they seemed standard/reasonable.

Got a single non-smoking room w/ King bed. Asked for and got a mini-fridge added to the room.

Place is typical of a Courtyard hotel. Room had a sleeper loveseat and a work desk. Pool was rather small, but sufficient. hot tub was nice size and toasty! Close to the highway, but fairly well insulated. Noise wasn't really an issue. Clean, well-kept, but nothing exciting overall. Still, a great deal at the price I paid!

Thanks for posting and welcome to BetterBidding!

I guess a 'welcome home' is in order too :)

Thanks again for sharing your results with the rest of us.

'Welcome Home'?!?

I don't get it.

I'm from St. Louis, not Des Moines.

Just started travelling for this contract assignment I got up here.

Will be doing this weekly for a little while, so hopefully I can help

fill out a bunch of info on the West Des Moines area while I'm up here,

in addition to saving myself some money.

'Welcome Home'?!?

I don't get it.

I saw that your hotel stay ended today, so i figured (incorrectly) that you had just returned home (rather than traveling to another hotel).

Hope it's a successful roadtrip!

Oh, I understand!

Thanks for the sentiment, but you're just a bit premature. I leave town for the roadtrip home at about 2:30 this afternoon. So should be home around 9 pm. :)
