Check in was easy. We got to our room and the floor was soaking wet and they were trying to dry it. We went back down to the front desk and asked for a new room. They were very apologetic and got us a new room right away. New room had no issues. Breakfast was a little lackluster and cold.

When we arrived in our room we realized the bed had 2 sheets and no blanket, we only had 3 towels and 1 tiny bottle of shampoo and conditioner. I went to the front desk to ask for the above. Staff was very friendly and gave me 2 nice, clean down comforters, more towels and soap. I thought it was odd that I had to ask for bedding. The bath faucet was broke you could spin it all the way around. Beds a little too hard for me, but some may like that. Carpet in room could use a good deep cleaning or replacement. Breakfast was good, staff was helpful and friendly. Probably won't stay again if in the area.

They allowed dogs which we didn’t realize our room smelled like dog. Property overall was clean and quiet.

We got to our room rather late. We were very tired. Wished they would have had a foam pillow option. Slept on a pile of towels since allergic to feathers.

The hotel and the room were clean and comfortable. The only negative feedback I have is about the included breakfast. Burnt eggs, sausage swimming in greasy water, rock hard biscuits. Not great.

We stayed two nights while visiting family in the Des Moines area. Our rooms were nice, but the staff here was the least friendly staff we experienced on our week-long road trip. The staff seemed do the bare minimum to get by. The guy at the front desk was anxious to get back to his smoke break by the front doors. The breakfast lady lacked attention to detail (perhaps I only noticed this because I've worked in foodservice.) We've stayed in several places in the Des Moines area in recent years, but I doubt we'll stay here again.

This hotel is very new so everything is in great shape. Our room was huge. It was more like a suite. Breakfast was very good. The rates are very competitive. We highly recommend this hotel.

Front desk employee was very welcoming. Room was big, clean and bed was comfortable. Also room was quiet and lighting was great. So meaning times we stay at places that the lighting is poor around the room and near the bed. plenty of options for going for a bit to eat. Didn't take advantage of breakfast. When in the area we would definitely stay here again

Love to stay here, but guests with trailers take up all the parking spaces. They should be required to park on the street (hotel is the only business/building on that street) or required to back into the spaces on the north end of the building.

Very clean, newer hotel. Staff was very helpful. Would definitely stay again.

Very nice stay. The front desk gentlemen was very nice and helpful. Room was very clean and modern. This hotel is close to the interstate so it’s loud but I wanted to something right off the road so it worked for me. I had to leave at 5:30am so I wish breakfast started earlier but other than that it was great.

The building is fresh, bright and new and nicely equipped. Good rates. The only negatives being proximity to highway traffic noise and plumbing noise from above.

Actually, the rooms were nice and clean but the breakfast area was kind of dirty and sticky. The food was sub par. Breakfast preparers didn’t keep up with demand. Maybe they were just understaffed that day.

The room and amenities were as described. I will say the first thing I noticed on my particular stay was the VERY strong chlorine smell coming from the pool. I hope it isn't like that all the time.
The lobby was clean and spacious. The room looked like it had been recently updated and was cozy.
It's nice that there are lot of options for shopping and food nearby.

Always amazing as usual and Sean is the best manager ever! He did some booking stuff for us and help us out a lot! And he has always been very helpful when we're there at the hotel. Wouldn't stay anywhere else when we're in Altoona Iowa.
