This business has multiple apartments within the apartment building at this address. The apartment that I was in needs a serious deep clean and the oven door was literally coming apart. I don’t know how anyone could consider it acceptable to rent out to a guest, in this condition.

Our stay in downtown Des Moines was for an entire week. This Kasa rental worked very well for us. It was nice having the extra things like kitchen, laundry, living room, game room, etc. that you don't get staying in a hotel. Our room was located in a noisy spot. We heard the garage doors open and close often. We were also awakened by the garage pickup. Still, it was a good value and great location for us.

Too many annoying codes to find!

Check in codes arrived last minute causing stress. No staff, just a code to enter lobby, a code to enter room, a code to check out, each found in a different old email or message. Annoying amount of time standing outside doors searching for codes on your phone.

The amenities were very misleading. I selected pool and fitness center in the filtered search results and Kasa appeared as an affordable option. They are sneaky and have pool and fitness center listed in the amenities section to appear in more search results, but once you click into the section they state there is no pool or fitness center on-site. They say to get a membership at the YMCA across the street which was frustrating as I booked this rental for a pool and fitness center. The bathroom sinks took a long time to drain and some of the hand towels were stained orange.

I have never had such an insulting travel experience. After checking in at Kasa, we were told to leave because they claimed Expedia hadn’t paid them. I spent 4 hours going back and forth between Kasa and Expedia, but in the end Kasa still kicked us out. Expedia was very helpful and quickly found us another hotel at no extra cost, but the treatment from Kasa was unacceptable and unprofessional. There was no on-site staff to assist us. I realized this is the difference compared to a hotel that offers true hospitality. The customer service was terrible and they didn’t know how to treat people.

Did not know what to expect upon arrival but was pleased to find our own little apartment in this very modern building … loved the kitchen and availability of the in unit laundry. Only complaint I could say is no hair dryer (4 girls) and one night there was an alarm prompting evacuation in the middle of the morning but all in all had a very enjoyable experience

I liked that the property was close to the sky walk. Areas that need improvement: rugs in both bathrooms, needed nonslip covers in both tubs, more towel rods or hooks in bathroom to hand robes and towels, both rooms need nightstands, and main living area needed a table.

Kasa Apartment.

Location was great. Apartment was dirty. There was a used contact in the sink a used fork on the bedroom floor. Long dark hair on the bathroom floor. The pull out bed had blood or something red splattered on the mattress. Game room was nice! Trip was good, we just had to clean upon arriving.

Not great

We called two weeks in advance to ask about checking in early since we were driving in from out of state and have a baby and a toddler. They told us that should not be an issue just to check in the app That we want to check in early. I checked early check in even though it said there was no guarantee. I called them after doing this to confirm, They said again, it should not be an issue. We called the day before, because, again, we were driving from out of state and they said that all was good, but when we called the day that we were supposed to check in at 12:30 asking if we could check-in early, they said that we could not. I was very frustrated and explained to them. That we had called week in advance and also days in advance that we had a baby and a small toddler.And we needed to check in early. Mind you, it was already 12:30 so at this point it was only a few hours before check in. The lady on the phone said she would expedite our room and make sure it was cleaned.And that we would be notified very soon so that we could check in. I had to drive around aimlessly on the freeway to allow my baby to take a nap.Since we had nowhere for her to sleep. I have traveled a lot in my life and I never have had any issue checking in early especially when it's only a few hours. We called at 3 because we never heard anything.she said it still wasnt ready. WHAT?! She said we could check in at 330. We did and the upon arrival the unit was still not ready. The rooms are not even closed off.
