"They are still going thru renovations. The carpets are now done and they have started on the outside. The pool was closed one of the days we were there, so I would check when you book if the pool will be open if you plan to use it."

"Everything was clean. Staff was mediocre with welcoming. And I wish they provided vending that accepts debit/credit cards instead of cash only. Other than that I had a good stay."

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Altoona-Des Moines by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Hotel & Suites Altoona-Des Moines by IHG

10/10 Excellent
"I liked all the thoughtful amenities. The bathroom was stocked with Dove products, rather than a brand nobody has ever heard of. I also appreciate the ability to get coffee freshly brewed in the lobby 24 hours a day. The breakfast was better than many other hotels, and the fact that this hotel provided an option to take a bag with you (for those who have to get on the road quickly) was very hospitable. The small details, such as the bagels and muffins being individually wrapped for this very purpose is much appreciated."
