"Exceeded our expectations"

Reviewed January 14, 2024

We moved over here from a bad experience at La Quinta. The price difference was worth every penny. From the very comfortable bed, great breakfast and kind and personable front desk staff. This location was perfect for shopping , swimming and restaurants. What a difference to be heard and cared for at a hotel. Congratulations to the management and team. So appreciate you all.

"Quick Stay"

Reviewed October 15, 2023

Room was clean, staff was nice, the pool although small wasn’t freezing like many hotel pools. We did have a few issues. The sink drained incredibly slow in the bathroom, there’s no microwave in the room, the fridge had a huge block of ice in the back which made it nearly impossible to use one of the shelves, and there was no conditioner in the shower which is bolted to the wall so I couldn’t even take it off to shake the last little bit out. Also the chocolate milk offered at breakfast was expired and unless we just couldn’t find it, there’s no safe in the room. Again it wasn’t a horrible stay but we will probably try a different hotel in the area the next time we visit.

"Excellent choice!"

Reviewed October 14, 2023

Excellent managed property. Clean, comfortable and small details such as purell packets offered to clean tv remote and other surface areas important to you. (I always bring my own Clorox wipes so this was quite a surprise.). Staff excellent and welcoming, rooms updated and clean. If you are looking for a great place to stay adjacent to the interstate, this is the best.

"A Delightful Place to Stay!"

Reviewed September 26, 2023

This was the third time in the last 4 years we stayed at The Fairfield Inn & Suites in Altoona, Iowa. As in our previous stays, it was delightful! The front desk staff were warm and friendly. They immediately thanked us for being Bonvoy "Gold" members and upgraded us to a larger room. The breakfast featured real bacon and pork sausage (OK, this was in Iowa!). The property is clean and well-maintained. Our room was comfortable and quiet. The property is located next to two very good restaurants and across the street from a large outlet mall. The pool and hot tub were both in working order. We will continue to stay here when we are in the Des Moines area - next year, for sure.

"Terrible"

Reviewed March 15, 2023

Stayed here on a snowy night. Was told to go to the fourth floor as its quieter.. which it was. We have stayed here over 10 times have always loved it. This time however we found a bug in our bed it was disgusting. While the hotel offered another room free of charge. I wont be back ever again :(
