Top Altoona Hotel Reviews

Days Inn & Suites by Wyndham Des Moines Airport

8/10 Good

"Rooms clean. Bed was comfortable."

Motel 6 West Des Moines, IA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was in a nice location near shopping and restaurants with friendly staff and very clean rooms. I love the endless supply of hot water and that it was pet friendly. There were vending machines on site with Ice. There were lots of good T.V. Channels, and the refrigerator was a nice touch. The door was a little misaligned so that dead bolt wouldn't work though. There was still the inside door bar that kept the door from opening up all the way."

Quality Inn & Suites Altoona - Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Desk staff was helpful & accommodating when I asked for a room on the second floor & a quieter area. When checking out the desk staff was nice. Nice clean room but the towels could be nicer. They are too thin & need to be replaced. The room is clean & large."

Best Western Plus Altoona Inn

8/10 Good

"The room was extremely clean & the staff was very friendly. The only complaint was the breakfast was mediocre. There were several options but nothing that we really liked."

Ramada Tropics Resort & Conf Center by Wyndham Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"The elevator doors need cleaned."
