Hotel Marina Inn (Des Moines, USA)

Marina Inn offers a great balance between the seaside and necessary commercial arrangements, such as small shops, restaurants, and general goods stores. You can buy any beach-based supplies you near with just a few minutes of walking, and also grab a bite to eat before setting up on the waterfront.

The rooms at Marina Inn provide sufficient space for both movement and storing your luggage, making it ideal for larger parties as well as smaller groups of travelers, if you have a need for more personal space. You'll never feel cramped in these expansive rooms.

The breakfast offerings are fairly standard but cooked well, and have a touch of homemade flavor that's hard to find elsewhere. The portions are also fairly good for beginning your day, and you have a wide range of juices and coffee types to choose from, as well as diverse food groups to suit your diet.

The front desk management doesn't tend to look kindly upon any issues with reservations or general amenity aid, and you'll likely need to directly approach the desk to handle any issues with your room or the service that you're receiving, with no promise of reconciliation.

The property's approach and general surroundings aren't tidy or manicured very well, leaving them looking rundown and slightly off-putting. These can be overlooked, but they still don't offer a positive first impression of the premises at all.

Multiple guests found bed bugs in their rooms and had the problem presumably addressed by the front desk, only to find the same issue in other rooms or in the same bed after a cleaning regimen. This underscores a deeper issue with infestations on the hotel grounds.
