enjoyed easy access to parks and attractions nearby

I had a fantastic stay with very comfortable and spacious room paired with incredible coffee that was some of the best I've ever had at a hotel. It was an easy walk to both Adventureland Park and the Outlets of Des Moines, making my weekend city strolls even more enjoyable and convenient. the only thing I noticed was that the breakfast area struggled a bit to keep up with the weekend crowd, but overall it didn't dampen my experience at all.

we had a lovely stay at the fairfield inn! our queen room was surprisingly quiet despite being near the highway. the view of the pond from our window was a nice touch. the facility felt modern and clean, and the staff were all really friendly. we also enjoyed the indoor pool, perfect for the kids.

The room was spacious and clean, but it felt damp during my stay.

The clean, spacious queen room provided a comfortable stay, with the best hotel coffee I've ever had. I appreciated the walking distance to nearby restaurants and the free drink voucher for unwinding after a long day. However, a large group of kids monopolized the pool, making it impossible for my family to enjoy it, and the noise in the hallways was disruptive. It’s a shame since everything else was enjoyable.

i had a great experience at this hotel during my recent stay. the spacious queen room was clean and comfortable, and the coffee in the lobby was surprisingly good. my previous visit was nice, but this time the staff was even friendlier and more accommodating.

the pool area was quite crowded.

I had a great stay! The view of the pond was such a nice touch from my Queen Room. 😊 The only downside was the crowded pool area during my visit.

I had a lovely stay at Fairfield Inn & Suites By Marriott Des Moines Altoona! My Queen Room was surprisingly quiet despite being near the highway. The view of the pond from the window was a nice touch. The facility felt modern and incredibly clean, and the staff was friendly and welcoming.

Could use more seating in common areas.

The room was very spacious and comfortable with a fantastic view of the pond. The coffee served was astonishingly good, rivaling even the best I've had in Italy and Spain. Furthermore, the staff provided a coupon for a complimentary drink, which was a nice touch after a long workday. The location was also convenient, with several quality restaurants within easy walking distance.

Great location within walking distance to restaurants. The room was spacious and clean. Excellent coffee served in the lobby. I received a complimentary drink coupon which was a nice touch. The staff was friendly and cute. 😃

I had a good stay at the Fairfield Inn in Altoona. The room offered a fine view of the pond, and the coffee served in the lobby exceeded my expectations. Such a nice touch with the complimentary drink coupon! An EV charger would enhance the experience.

I loved the updated lobby and hallways, featuring new carpet and wall coverings. The spacious rooms were very accommodating for seniors, with ample lighting and comfortable seating. The accessible layout made it easy to navigate around the hotel.

A few more seating options in common areas.
