Axel's take: 8.8/10

A strong highway stop with clean rooms, friendly staff and useful family extras. a straightforward 3-star hotel off I-80 in Altoona, scored for what it is.

This straightforward 3-star in Altoona is a strong pick for an I-80 stopover or an Adventureland visit. Recent Expedia and Tripadvisor guests repeatedly praise clean rooms, comfortable beds and welcoming staff, making it an appealing choice for the basics rather than fancy surroundings. Included breakfast and parking help the value, while room fridges and microwaves, an indoor pool and a lobby bar add practical comforts.

The trade-off is a car-oriented location outside downtown Des Moines. Breakfast earns plenty of praise, but some guests find the selection or replenishment uneven. Tripadvisor also records past pool closures, including June 2025; confirm availability if swimming is essential. We'd choose it for a convenient overnight or family outing, but skip it for a walkable city break.

  • Best for: I-80 road-trippers; families visiting Adventureland; travelers with pets

  • Watch out for: Car-oriented location outside downtown; Uneven breakfast selection and replenishment; Confirm pool availability before booking

  • Location: Off I-80 in Altoona, convenient for Adventureland and Prairie Meadows rather than downtown sightseeing.

  • Rooms: Generally praised for comfort and space; mini-fridges, microwaves and coffee makers are standard.

  • Cleanliness: A consistent strength across recent Expedia and Tripadvisor reviews.

  • Service: Friendly, helpful front-desk and breakfast staff receive repeated praise.

  • Amenities: Included breakfast, indoor pool, 24-hour gym, guest laundry and lobby bar—not an on-site casino or water park.

  • Fees and surprises: Parking is free; pets incur a surcharge, and early check-in or late checkout may cost extra.
