Best Hotels near Des Moines Beach Park Auditorium, Des Moines

Quiet and beautiful people

There aren't a lot of hotels in the Auburn area and I remember this one from the time I worked in the area, as it was originally built as a King Oscar Hotel. We got a good rate and spent three nights here. Was told it was converted from a Quality Inn to a Comfort Inn & Suites just this past August. The place is up-to-date, with modern furnishings in the rooms and lobby. The rooms are good-sized, plenty of room to move about and relax. I really do not like cramped hotel rooms, so this one was excellent. Check in was fast and friendly. COVID-19 protocols in place, so no coffee station in the lobby and breakfast is pretty much pre-packaged. In our travels it is interesting to see how each property handles these things during the pandemic. The only complaint I have is the wi-fi drops off every few hours and one has to repeatedly log on. It did this while I was on a Zoom meeting on my laptop and I had to quickly switch to my phone so I could continue. One of my hotel pet peeves is that if you offer wi-fi, it should be fully operational because so many of your clients have come to depend on it for their business and informational needs while staying on your property. I would suggest this get brought up with the provider to come up with a solution. Within walking distance there are a couple of fast-food places, an AM/PM gas station and mini mart, and a teriyaki place. Only a couple of miles north to the Outlet Collection Mall, and a couple of miles east to an Albertson's. Near many of the South Auburn/Algona/Pacific industrial areas (including Boeing Fabrication). Noise level is actually not bad, considering the site is next to the SR167 Valley Freeway. We had a 3rd floor room, did not really notice much in the way of outside noise (well, except for the guy who fired up his ultra-bass car sound system in the parking lot!). You could use this place as a jumping-off point for a lot of area travel.

Good breakfast and warm service. I came from the airport at nine in the morning and asked if I could check in early. Check it at the front desk and say yes. Also suggest me to breakfast first. Stayed one night and ate breakfast for two days

I think we can all agree that exceptional customer service nowadays is RARE. I'm EXCITED to give this review of Comfort Inn, located in Auburn, WA because I have beem treated with nothing but respect from the general manager of this hotel and his front desk staff. I stay in hotels at a minimum of 3 weeks of the month, every month. Majority of the hotels being a Choice Hotel brand. After yet another HORRIBLE expierence at Quality inn in Tacoma, i swore i would never stay at a Choice Hotel brand hotel ever again, until i came across the reviews of Comfort inn located in auburn. I checked in super late at Comfort Inn on 10/23/2019 with no problems, and have extended my stay until right now 10/27/2019 and will be staying a few more night because of how pleased i am. Parking lot is rather small, not very many spots open later at night. Lobby of the hotel smells WONDERFUL, very clean with a fresh pot of coffee available to you, iced lemon water and a flat screen TV with some chairs. Hallways smell just as amazing as the lobby, carpet looks very new and vaccumed. Indoor pool and hottub but i did not use either so i cannot comment on it. Although i have witnessed the general manager cleaning the pool in the mornings. I walked into my room and my jaw dropped, every single thing about my room was perfect. The king size bed was perfrctly made, with big comfy blankets and a goose down comforter with 5 pillows. I did not feel like i need to wipe down and disinfect everything, the mattress itself looked brand new, the A/c / heater didnt have old dust on it, windows had no fingerprints on it, huge mirror on the wall, flat screem TV, shower AND full bathtub in the bathroom, multiple large fluffy towels waiting for me, granite countertops in bathroom, everything was perfect. The room was so clean, it completely made me forget that there was ever guests staying in the room before me. I will DEFINITELY be back and will be referring my friends and family to this hotel.

Stayed here recently and liked my stay very much. Due to Covid the hotel restaurant was not open which was disappointing but understandable. I stayed in a spa suite room at a very fair rate. The spa suite is a nice room and allows for a good soak with bubbles to relax. Good Internet, desk for work. Property felt safe , good parking in a well lit lot. Property is near tons of eateries and shopping. Super easy access to I-5 to both Tacoma and Seattle. Staff were efficient and accommodating. I would easily stay here again.

Sleep Inn is in a good location, close to the airport, and there is a shuttle bus to the hotel. It is also close to the light rail station, about 7 minutes walk to downtown. There is a 24-hour restaurant opposite the hotel which is very convenient. very satisfied!

The room is clean and spacious , with the essentials amenities which are very good. There is a microphone inside the room for us to heat up the food , so convenient. One little downside is that the house keeping need to be informed 1 day ahead for making up our room which there is no sign telling us this information. But the housekeeping did a great job on room make up though.

We stayed two nights and were super pleased with the friendly staff, the modern rooms with comfy beds and clean all around. The breakfast was nice and a great start to the day. Their airport shuttle dropped us off at the airport for the short walk to the light rail to ride into the city for a day of exploring. He told us where to meet back up at days end and voila, he was there to take us back to the motel. Couldn't have been better, it was perfect. This Inn was recommended by previous stay couple and it was spot on. Highly recommend as well.

You know the old story. If a deal seems too good - watch out. The price of a room at this motel was very competitive considering its 4 star rating. So I went for it. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. I guess those are the important aspects of a one-night stay. If you can overlook the dangerously worn out bathroom light switch, the almost impossible to use bath tub faucet valve, the very loose toilet seat and the loose as a goose vanity faucet the room was a good value. Besides all that the building itself is old and not in good repair. For example, we used the stairs and the coving was either falling off or missing. Hey the TV worked great.

I found the Courtyard Federal Way to be a halfway decent place to spend the night, but there were definitely some things that made my stay less than awesome. My room was comfortable and serviceable, and the bed was decent. I was on the 7th floor, but some of my co-workers who also stayed in the hotel on lower floors complained their room smelled strongly of B.O. However, despite being up on the 7th floor, I wasn’t immune to the loud banging as someone took out the trash behind the hotel and let the dumpster lid slam shut at 5:45am, waking me up way earlier than I’d intended. The morning after my sleep was where I experienced the most hiccups. Following the undesired super-early wakeup, I searched for some coffee to help finish my morning takeoff, only to find there wasn’t a coffeemaker in the room, so I went downstairs to see if there was something in the lobby — when I asked the desk clerk about coffee, he admitted not all the rooms had coffeemakers but they didn’t have coffee pots in the lobby, I had to go to the Starbucks shop in the lobby and buy coffee. When I checked in, I was told breakfast was included as part of my stay and that my room number would be on the list, so imagine my surprise when I was told at the Starbucks counter that my room number was not on the list. I went to the front desk and was informed that no, I didn’t get free breakfast after all, but the manager apologized and said she’d apply a credit to my account — however, the breakfast credit is only $10, which in many cases didn’t cover the entirety of the cost of breakfast at the in-house Starbucks/food place, so I ended up still having to pay a few bucks for an overpriced yet meager breakfast burrito. All in all, as a hotel, the place is okay, but definitely not a great overall experience like I’ve come to expect at hotels in general or Courtyard by Marriott locations.
