Searched for a place east of Des Moines via my Chase travel rewards, and saw that this one had good…read morereviews. And surprise, this is a new build! Don't know how long it's been open, but it's in a rather desolate area - Prairie Crossing, according to all the "Coming soon" signs posted about advertising new businesses/hotels/strip plaza to come. The inside lobby is very spacious with plenty of seating. A full bar to the right as you walk in (I'm assuming this is due to the sparse amenities around this hotel's freeway exit), more seating to the left (close to the breakfast alcove, and a nice big welcome desk to check in. I did take a peek at the indoor pool. It was nice and clean, towels folded in places in on wooden shelves, even had a left for ADA compliance which was a nice surprise. Our room was fluffin' huge! Based on the size, I think we were put in a handicap accessible room, but I'm not positive, as there wasn't anything outwardly saying "Hi, welcome to your ADA room"; even the bathroom had a tub, not a roll-in shower. At any rate, the room was clean and looked brand new, so obviously no complaints here! The nightly price was great ($95), and the morning included continental breakfast was pretty darn great, too. Your typical scrambled eggs and sausage patties, hot oatmeal, apples, and bananas, but it was nice to see a steam tray with tortillas and sausage gravy for breakfast tacos. I definitely recommend this La Quinta if you're looking for a place to stay on the west side of Des Moines. To get to this building, it is a bit convoluted, so pay attention to your phone/GPS. Easy access to/from I-80, a decent amount of parking, brand new, good price-point, you can't beat it.

Our only request is that they use something to cut out the smell/markings of the last furry guests. Our dog goes a little nuts when he first arrives. Our room was nice, mobility accessible.

Our room was updated, spacious and comfortable. The shampoo and soaps were individual not coming out of a community dispenser. The bed was perfect for a hotel not to hard not to soft. We never really thought about staying at a casino hotel but this definitely makes for a much better stay than other budget hotels. We paid a budget price but felt more like a luxury experience. Note I'm not saying it felt like the Ritz or 4 Seasons, but definitely better than a traditional Hilton or Marriot.

Our check in process took about 5 minutes. This hotel is fairly clothes to stores & restaurants. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it cost $2 to wash and dry. It's pricey for what we're used to. Oh, and they only take quarters so if you want to do laundry, plan ahead.

We stayed seven days at this hotel, and were regretting it by day 2…read more On day one we asked them to refill the bath wash in our shower because it was empty when we checked in. They didn't do it. We asked again on days 2 & 3, and it was finally filled on day 4. The hotel has a sign that they do "light cleaning on day 3". They came on day 4 to empty the trash and bring towels. Nothing else. Not even picking up a scrap of paper on the ground. They say a full cleaning happens on day 6. They did nothing. Not even towels or trash. Breakfast is 6 am to 9 am. They start packing it up at 8:30 am. Our keys were never correctly coded and we had to have them reset daily. We will be back in Altoona in June and again in August, but will never stay with them again. One star (only because there isn't a 0.
