Top Adventureland Hotel Reviews

Quality Inn & Suites Altoona - Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Room was clean but someone previous had splattered coffee or hot chocolate on the curtains. The room was a little musty due to having carpet and closed up on humid weather, but smell cleared up when ac/heater was turned on. Breakfast was good with hot sausage and omlets. Checkout was painless. Some freeway traffic could be heard in early weekday morning."

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Exceeded my expectations. Immaculate property and room. Very friendly staff. Even a small bar. I highly recommend!"

Home2 Suites By Hilton Altoona Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Our Home2 by Hilton experience was an absolute pleasure in all areas until we got to breakfast. We were welcomed warmly into the new and squeaky clean facility, impressed by the big room and kitchenette. We grabbed a microwave meal from the nicely displayed selections in the coolers just off the lobby and were tempted by the beautiful pool. We slept soundly in our comfortable king sized bed. Soon after 6 AM we ventured down to breakfast. We found the food around the corner from the lobby. There was a good selection of breakfast fare on display in modern glass-faced warmers. Unfortunately it took some work to finagle the food out of the case with the tongs provided. We also could not find any salt and pepper. Once seated in the attractive dining area, we found our food lukewarm at best and the coffee less than impressive — an anticlimactic end to an otherwise perfect stay."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Altoona-Des Moines by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I like that the property had both a pool and a hot tub although I didn't end up using the pool. I also like the gym even though it was small no one else was in there at any point that I used it and they had plenty of equipment for me to use. All of the staff were polite and friendly. The hotel smelled clean and free the mildew smell that a lot of hotels end up getting in them over time. The only exception to this was in the gym area but I suspect this is due to the gym being right next to the pool area. Breakfast had plenty of different options to choose from and they seem to switch some of the varieties every other day so if you say 2 nights there were different breakfast options both days. I would have like to see brochures on things to do though. Its a little outdated but they are nice to look at."

Hyatt Place Altoona/Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Very good location"

Comfort Inn Altoona-Des Moines

8/10 Good

"The usual standard motel breakfast. The coffee was in an area separate from the food."
