Top Altoona Hotel Reviews

Stoney Creek Hotel Des Moines - Johnston

8/10 Good

"They are currently renovating so I am sure when it is finished it will be very good. People were very nice. We loved the northwoods/cabin decor. Again it in repair while we were there so the price was very good. Good safe location. Closer to Urbandale than Johnston...which was a plus for us. Cute bar!!! That was a plus since we got in late. Very nice free breakfast. Room was clean and great shower pressure."

Comfort Inn Altoona-Des Moines

2/10 Terrible

"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."

Clarion Inn Des Moines Airport

4/10 Poor

"The LED lights in every room resembles a prison yard. The fake wood linoleum is awful, loose in places, and echoes every pen and fart in each hall. TV signal worked one of our 2 nights. Most of our power outlets didn't work, 2 lamps not plugged in. Must be why the coffee maker and ice bucket where put in the bathroom... no one should use a nasty coffee maker in a bathroom... but let that distract you from the smoke alarm that was removed from its permanent mount. Glad we all paid a premium to stay there. Breakfast was good. Pool had water in it."

Best Western Plus Altoona Inn

8/10 Good

"Seemed a bit under staffed and took a while to check in and check out. Our shampoo and body wash dispensers were completely out in the shower so we used what we brought. The hair dryer is not in a bag and hangs on the bathroom door handle. Staff nice and very clean facility. Only one washer and one dryer but work well. Quiet and feels safe. Would stay here again."
