Altoona4 nights3.0 star property9.0/10 - Wonderful (1,406 reviews)"La Quinta in Altoona was clean and generally very nice. There were a few items that could be improved: 1) There was no light on the side of the our room near the bathroom. A floor lamp there would really help. 2) We are older people and were fortunate that we brought along a bath mat. Otherwise the tub (which we used only as a shower) would have been very slick and difficult to get out of. 3) The faucet for the bathroom sink was mounted away from the basin and whenever you used it water bounced..."Reviewed August 6, 2026Roundtrip • Québec City (YQB) - Des Moines (DSM)YQB - DSM • 1 stop DSM - YQB • 1 stopCA $1,275CA $1,155found 1 day agoper traveller - Hyatt Place West Des Moines Jordan Creek

For anyone experiencing a longer stay or not in as much of a rush, the hotel is conveniently centered right beside Jordan Creek Town Center and a multitude of shops with anything you could possibly need or want for a camping trip nearby.

Breakfast was ok, a lot of options, but I'm not much of a breaksfast person. Needed new towels and housekeeping gladly left us a bag of new towels. Front desk staff was kind and helpful. The only minus is there was no place to hang your towels in the bathroom so the towels didn't dry out well.

Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University
Gateway Hotel and Conference Center at Iowa State University"This hotel has nice grounds, free parking and quiet rooms. My biggest issue is the service at the restaurant. I have stayed at this property at least six times and the restaurant is constantly understaffed. At breakfast this morning there were at least 30 customers with one server and the manager running tables. Took forever to get the food. It makes me avoid the restaurant. However the front desk staff is nice and attentive."

"I have stayed several times at this location while traveling and look forward to staying her again in the future. The staff is very friendly and helpful. I travel with my dog and they accommodate us with a pet-friendly room. There is a grassy area/field next to the property and I appreciate the space to walk and run my pup. My rooms have always been clean. Will definitely be back."
"This hotel was perfect. It was clean, all staff were super friendly and helpful."
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames
Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ames"Front desk person (younger gentleman) was very helpful and friendly the first night. Older man next day was not. The BED had HAIR all over the bottom sheets and mattress covers. No exaggeration. We got there very late and only had to sleep there for one night so we just slept on top of the cover and asked for extra blankets.Several ants in the room. Loud AC that made a churning sound throughout the night . Our room wasn’t the only room because another woman complained about it at the front...
Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites
Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites"Staff was great, room was clean. We had a lot of noisy guests with paper thin walls. The lobby was nice, but the room itself seemed outdated. Not a fan of the door locks, bathroom did not lock, bathroom light/fan were sooo loud, and it smelled like chemicals. Clean place to sleep with decent breakfast."
