La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

8/10 Good

"The rooms were clean and comfortable. The area is awesome. Walking distance to multiple dining spots and the casino. The breakfast is about as good as it gets as far as options and quality. The elevator and 2 of the ice machines were broke. This is a new hotel so not sure why they were all broken."
