More about the hotel
Friendly Staff/Nice Hotel
Very quiet, clean and nice hotel. Tressa provided me with excellent customer service at check in. But after checking into our room and coming down to swim my son and I were upset to find out the pool was closed after the person who made my reservation I believe his name was David told me that it was open which was the only reason for our stay. Tressa handled it very well apologized and gave us our gift certificate back to use at a later date when their pool is back up and running. Other than that we enjoyed our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to friends and family.
Great Experience Each Time I say here
I have probably spent more than 30 nights at this hotel since it opened. I wouldn't expect the hotel to stay as clean and fresh as it was when it first opened but it has maintained that high standard. Terrific accomplishment to the staff and crew.
My daughter was sexually harassed by a La Quinta employee!
In the morning when we were check out of this hotel and I was bringing back down to the car a man walked into our room while my daughter was in the bathroom with the door open staring at her while she sat on the toilet ! What I was walking out of the room with our bags bring down to the car I noticed the man in the hallway with a La Quinta shirt on,, and I asked him if he was a maintenance man and he said yes . I told him not to go into the room because my daughter was in there we were checking out . Soon as I walked around the corner to go to the elevator he went into the room well she was in the bathroom sitting on the toilet ! She had no idea who he was and why he entered the room, and he stood there staring at her ! This situation was very scary and embarrassing for my daughter! When I got back to the room told me what happened and I was livid! We went down talk to the manager, and he informs us got the man was autistic and part of a program and he was vacuuming the rooms, and should have had a handler. This man should not have had access to the guests! I contacted Wyndham and informed them of this and they tried buying me off with a couple thousand points! I feel disgusted and insulted by their response! My daughter was sexually harassed in their hotel by someone that had no business having access to those rooms! This hotel is not safe!
coming home from vacation
after driving many miles home from vacation, this hotel was a very welcome and comfortable end to a long day. Property is very new and modern, very clean, staff wearing masks. i highly recomend La Quinta in Altoona/des Moines.
Wonderful well designed, clean property!
Great location, hotel looks so new even though its already almost 2 years old. Large spacious rooms with nice sitting area and beautiful bathrooms and coffee, microwave, refrig station. Definitely a quality stay!
