After driving all day thru pouring rain, we decided we would stop for the nite and choose here. Our room was very comfortable with a king bed AND A COUCH AND CHAIR! Gotta say how wonderful it was to sit on couch rather then trying to sit on a bed! Way to go Best Western. Made our nite. Thank you

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

Such a nice stay

Reviewed By theminthomesteadny

Best experience on this trip. We stayed in the wing on the end near the dog area with our two big doggies. There is a huge field across the way that I was able to play fetch and run my active dog. The room was very clean, didnt smell, and the hotel still looks brand new. Front desk was extremely helpful and friendly. Gym was fantastic with new equipment and a great precor treadmill. We didnt stay long enough for breakfast but there was coffee hot and ready at 530am!!

Our softball teams games were canceled due to a rain out and this establishment in Altoona held us to a one night stay despite the fact that we live three hours away and we’re not going to drive to Altoona when the games were canceled.

Horrible! Do not stay here!!!! We froze, no heat and front desk acted “put out” when we called. Pot smell and loud. ???

Reviewed By 85AngelaM

Horrible!!!??? No heat, no help, dirty vents, bad pools, thin walls and super loud. The front desk acted “put out” when we asked for blankets and only gave us two. Fridge didn’t work, no hairdryer, pot smoking and dirty halls. My 8 year olds said the pool was boring and arcade was closed. No fun! Oh and they charged us $240 on my card, but at front desk it was $150. Bad business.

Nice clean hotel

Reviewed By Blanchmom

We reserved a standard king room the day before our arrival. When we arrived we were greeted pleasantly by the front desk staff and the place was buzzing with patrons. She alerted us that there was a baseball tournament in town this weekend so "it would not be a quiet stay". She also informed us that our room was right off the lobby, and basically said that we got the last available room. We decided that it wouldn't be an issue as we would be in and out and it was only a 1 night stay. The room was very clean, the bed and pillows were not especially comfy but they were okay. It was very busy with kids and families throughout our stay but at bedtime things were quieting down and we were able to sleep fine. Breakfast was mediocre...a few bread items that could be toasted, only 2 kinds of fruit, 1 pre-packaged kind of muffin, some yogurt, cereal and juice, a waffle maker, some very salty eggs and wimpy sausage. Overall a pleasant stay and we would stay there again!

Wonderful staff

Reviewed By syrsteps

Lacie, the evening front desk dynamo switched our room from the 2nd. floor to the 1st. Why guests use Firesticks or similar devices and do not reset the TV is baffling. Lacie helped once again. There was a pool, work out rooms and a basic breakfast with runny eggs, small biscuits, gravy and sausages. No pastries was disappointing. Thanks, Lacie!

This hotel was great and provided excellent value for the money. It's clean and has nice facilities. The kitchenette with full sized fridge is a life saver and was awesome for our trip! We were showing horses at the state fair in DesMoines and it was so nice to have a clean comfortable place to call home every night.

Okay for one night

Reviewed By StefanieH443

We stayed for one night while driving through Iowa, and we found this property to be fine for our needs. The room was comfortable and quiet. There was nothing spectacular and nothing horribly bad, so it was average for us.
