"The toilet was a problem. It was clean, but it did not flush properly... what was in there did not go down in one flush. It was not stuck, but the flow on the unit was... inefficient? Some toilets must be cheaper to buy, but they just don't work that well. This is one of those those. You have to ..."

"The hotel was ok, the location was excellent! But I wouldn’t choose to stay here again, the breakfast was weak at best. The hotel & parking lot was a bit dirty. Charged for parking that I didn’t know when I made the reservation."

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

Travelocity Verified Review

"Our room was a nice size. I especially liked the bed and pillows. Everything in our room was spon on. There was a floor drain somewhere before you walk into the pool. It just needs water poured down it because it stinks. Also! The information on the back of the door states check out time is noon. The front desk shows it's 11. I was here not too long ago and they weren't aware the times were different. They need to change the signs in the rooms! The pool was small and a bit chilly. After we left, they called us to let us know I had left my makeup mirror there and we went and picked it up. I really appreciated that. We'll be back"
