This is a very old motel that has never been updated. However, I give the owner credit for maintenance. The sheets and towels were clean, the shower tiles, and toilet were clean, the carpet had been replaced at some point. However, you really are getting what you pay for.

We were looking for a hotel in Des Moins and decided on The Archer Motel. The rooms are quite large. If you plan I bringing your Laptop Computer, like i did, make sure you ask for the wireless internet. Because they have a password.

The room was large you didn't feel like you were in a sardine can.The people were great and you can beat the price.It is close to alot of venuues you might want to see.Found this motel on roomsaver.I prefer to stay at this older motel than a new fancy one that makes you feel like you are stuck in a boxy room.We travel alot to do trade shows and will stay here again when we are in the area.

I was sent to Des Moines on short notice and happened to stop at The Archer. I was so pleased. While in Des Monines a snow/ice storm rolled in!!!!! The staff took me under their wings making sure my needs met, I look forward to my next trip to Des Moines.

Lowest price and great personnel. Great location from Prarrie Meadows or Adventureland - right down the street. Lots of close places to eat. Excellent low cost hotel.
