David
Our room was very clean but smelled musty and was very damp feeling. Also beware of the entry doors here to the rooms. Both our door and a neighboring door did not close without pulling or pushing shut. The doors need adjustment to close properly. These were the only issues we experienced. It ecentually is a good place to stay.
Rubyt
Room was clean and breakfast was good
Jodi
Wonderful staff but the building and rooms need to be updated and my lamp and vanity in bathroom so much rust. And my room was damp and musty. Ac didnt work correctly. Loud above on 3rd floor
Brian
The room was very clean. With a great bed. Check-in was was easy with great staff. Would definitely plan to stay again at another time.
Erik
The a/c was cold, but didnt take any humidity out of the air. Woke up to damp clothes every morning. The front staff acknowledged the issue, but blew it off as it had been raining a lot. Fairly poor experience if im being completely honest.
Cecil
Great staff, air conditioning and breakfast
Gordon
Rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful..
Loretta Or Marilyn
Pool not open for two years. The drain plug was missing from both drain in shower and drain in bathroom sink.
Paul
Great property to stay at if you are going to the races or casino. The hotel at Prairie Meadows is a little pricey.
Tim
No pool for over a year but was not noted on their site. Pool next door was also broken. Rooms were clean and nice. Breakfast was ok. Went right at the start and hot food was just warm.
Krista
The hotel was clean and the rooms were nice for a short stay.
Alyssa
We were here for a weekend baseball tournament. 90+ degrees and humid, the boys were playing all day and looking forward to cooling off in the pool. While checking in the front desk employee said \" i hope you're not planning to swim\" well, yes we are. The pool has been down for over a year and the GM doesn't want to spend the money to fix it. No where on the website does it say this, and there are pics of the pool. I was planning to wash uniforms and was advised that the washer works but the dryer doesn't. Thankfully we packed an extra uniform--there was no way anything would hang dry with the rooms being so humid. I would give a zero star if possible.
Alisa
Door to room didn’t lock, pool was out of order and fridge leaked. Overall it was sufficient and clean.
Pamela
Good breakfast, clean room. Enjoyable stay.
Diego

Altoona hotel
Nice hotel in altoona
Michele
Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had however woke up late but still before the stop time for breakfast and went down and ate with being done at 0905 but the gal who was apparently supposed to be off at 0900 was a bit rude and slamming things around but we had not gotten in until after 0200 so we needed to sleep at sometime. The food however was excellent just didn’t appreciate the attitude by that particular employee. Everything else was excellent—5 stars other than this great place and was a great stay. I would recommend this hotel to friends
Gerald
Front desk staff friendly.
Amanda
It was good for a night and the breakfast was good.
Andrew
good location to casino. close to highway. nice staff
Tiffany
This property is very poor. The pool isn’t working, the treadmill broke, the staff was unfriendly, one of our beds was broken. Not a nice hotel.

I didn't like that the pool was out of service. They sent me to the Super 8 to swim. If I had wanted to swim at the Super 8 pool I would have booked our stay there and saved $50.
Steven
Clean and great staff.
Mark
Fair option to staying at Prairie Meadows Casino - for the price. Food option ate decent.
Mary
Was a great place to stay. Room was very clean, but the room was a little small.
Jessica
One night stay passing through town. Hotel was clean and the room was just right. We’ve stayed here before and will definitely stay again when passing through.
Desiree
When I arrived I was informed that I had an hour wait time for my already late check in because they only had 1 housekeeper. I wasn’t accommodated for my inconvenience either. The lock on my room was janky and the key card on most of the doors was visibly broken or damaged. The staff was polite but the mere fact that when I checked in there were 3 other ppl at the front and nobody went to go help the one housekeeper that had to get 3 floors of rooms ready for a sold out hotel was just ridiculous
Deb
We had a very over sized room and very clean
Lisa
The hotel was great--it did it's job but I wish I had known that the pool was closed. We had 4 kids with us who were very excited to swim.
The breakfast was good, although it ended a lot earlier than what we're used to at other hotels.
The beds were great and the rooms were nice and big.

Everything was average about the room except the mattresses and pillows. They were very lumpy and hard,the pillows were the same. The staff was great,very convenient area to stay at but,will never stay again because of the bed and linens.
Keith
Very clean and quiet. Nice breakfast too.
William
The pool was closed and it was never posted online or at the desk. I found out when I went to use it.
Corinne
Great breakfast! Nice quiet stay

Clean and nice hotel for the night in between of destinations.
Anne
A nice stopping point.
Stopped for one night while traveling. Hotel and room were clean. Bed was very comfortable. Front desk and breakfast person were friendly. Breakfast was well maintained and fresh. We would stay here again.
Molly
Nice place for overnight stay
I would stay here again if I needed to be on the east side of Des Moines or Altoona area. Not hard to get to and close to I-80.
Tracy
We booked & paid with Expedia. When we checked in they didn’t tell us they were over booked & changed our 2 queen room to a king room for 4 adults.
Darla
The staff wasn't trained well and had to keep referring to the manager for assistance in another room, which took alot of time to get checked in. But the stay was comfortable and the breakfast was delicious, i would stay again.
Debbie
Rooms were very clean, spacious and comfy bed. Breakfast buffet was great. Would have given a 5 but pool was closed without prior notification.

Room was not cleaned and ready for us.
Upon checking in at 3:00, our room was not ready. We were on a time schedule because our son was shooting at State Archery at 4:30. We had to wait 20 minutes and that put us off schedule. We were late for our Archery check in time.
Also, there was a dried up contact lens on the bathroom floor.

Many restaurants near by. Easy access to interstate.

When we got to the hotel there were no carts at the front door so we had to haul all of our stuff in (5 people) without. Got to the desk and rang the bell. No one came for ~5 minutes. Tried to use AAA for a discount but was denied because the booking was made through a third party. Finally got our keys and to our room. Looked clean and modern. Changed into swimsuits only to be told the pool is closed and has been for quite some time. Luckily for our kids, they called the hotel next door, & they allowed us to go over to swim. When getting ready for bed I went to adjust the heat in the room only to realize there was black mold in the vents of the unit and on the curtains above. Breakfast the next morning was decent. Normal continental breakfast but one of the employees stood at the door of the kitchen watching us eat the whole time which was uncomfortable. Check out was easy. Overall probably won’t stay here again due to cleanliness & lack of amenities.

Breakfast needs work, but great stay
Great experience with all the staff, super nice and friendly.
Breakfast needs work; eggs were runny and selection of other items was limited.

It's a nice hotel and the staff we're great

Third room is a charm!
I had to change rooms 2 times. The first room they gave me the heater was stuck on high and it was 90 degrees. The second room they gave me the door lock batteries went dead and it took them an hour to get me back into my room only to find out the door lock still was malfunctioning even though new batteries were installed. On to the third room which was fine but it was a 2 hour ordeal just to get me a room that was acceptable. The staff was as helpful as they could be and I told them I was not a happy customer. The staff told me to talk to the manager in the morning who told me that 25% off the next stay is what she could offer. She told me that she would email me the 25% off but I never received it.
Melanie
Other than a semi crashing into the front of the building, stay was great. Staff was quick to action as the emergency services.
James
My stay here was the best experience at any hotel I ever been at. The staff here is so nice to me

Verified traveler
Everything we needed
The room was spacious, well-kept, the bed comfortable, We keep the fan on when we stay in hotels so we don't hear other guests and had no problem here either. Check-in desk person was polite, considerate and helpful. Breakfast was standard with waffles if you want to make them. The neighborhood is fine with many eating establishments within a mile, Prairie Meadows casino and track is across the street, but it was quiet. It was as advertised.
Cody
Overall good experience
Millicent
Generally ok but bad is too stiff
Christine
Clean but used
Hotel was in a good location but needs updating.
Aricia
Place is clean, this is the most important thing to us. However, we purposely select hotels that do not allow pets for a variety of reasons-we are pet lovers but... The hotel did not indicate that it was pet friendly so we assumed that pets were not allowed, this was incorrect as there were a few dogs in the hotel the second time we stayed there. Again, over all clean hotel with good breakfast. Biggest complain is the beds are very hard. We have a firm bed a home which I prefer but their bed felt like sleeping on a board.
Also, the first time we stayed there some of the rooms on our floor were being fumigated (or so we assume) as the outer doors were taped down to the ceiling and floor in plastic so I am glad they stay of top of whatever needs to be addressed. We alway check for bed bugs no matter where we stay.
We may not stay there again not because of any overall concerns just simply because the bed was so hard it kicked in my back pain.

All is great
Michael
The room was very clean and we loved how big the bathroom was. It would have been nice to have a adjustable shower head but it had decent water pressure. The linen smelled clean but the bed was very hard. We would recommend this place just for the cleanliness and staff friendliness.
Lonnie
Loved the cleanliness of the room. Bed was comfy. The continental breakfast was the best one I have ever had.
Laura
Good enough!
Listen, this isn't gonna be the fanciest hotel you ever stay at...but if you need a fairly cheap hotel for a quick stay, this one is just fine. Staff was friendly enough, it was clean enough, and felt safe enough. Breakfast was decent as well!
Randolph
Very clean.
Randy
It was nice
Bob
Nice Property
Nice clean and comfortable room. The property is well located with many restaurants nearby. A casino (with attached horseback) is located directly across the road.
Kristin
Friendly staff. Clean Rooms. Nice Hotel.
Brenda
this was a very nice Hotel, and was not far from the State Fair
Juanita
Comfortable and Clean
4 out of 5 only because the hot food was already cleaned up and put away 10 minutes early. Please give the staff instruction to leave it out until 10am since thats what guests are told. I paid a bit more to stay here because breakfast was imcluded. Loved how clean everything was though and all the staff was very friendly.
Jason
Very nice staff, close to Adventureland and casino.
Julie
The beds at this motel was comfy i was able to sleep good usually most beds are hard as a rock these wasnt
Melissa
Very basic, but trouble with cooling in the room & no bathroom ventilization. Pool is very small & room not maintained...rotting bc of humidity. Good basic breakfast & standard room amenities.
Mark

The hallway smells bad.
Verified traveler
Unacceptable stay.
The check-in took 15 minutes and I was the only one at the desk. Nice young man working; however, he didn't know what he was doing. The room--one bathroom light was burned out; another was blinking (going out). The room smoke detector on the ceiling was taped up. The worst thing was the humidity in the room. EVERYTHING was damp. The towels in the bathroom never dried at all. Our clothes were damp. We kept the AC at 72 degrees with the fan going all the time. We stayed on the first floor; the windows were not open.
Keri
Great stay for short trip staff was great
Jennifer
Great stay
Our room was clean and comfortable. The breakfast was good! They had biscuits and gravy, scrambled eggs, waffles, and sausage in addition to the typical cereal, etc.
Jeffrey
Cozy and clean Hotel. We'll definitely stay again.
Joe
Bit of a challenge, checking in, would’ve thought for that rate per night the rooms would’ve been a little nicer than what they were.
Kristine
Pool was not in service and there was no notice ahead of time.
