La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

Went to the lake to find a cabin and found a room instead. Rooms were clean lobby was clean, breakfast was waffles and yogurt. Guest services was amazing very informative at the front desk in pointing out the local markets and venues. Would stay here again when coming to the lakes.

I have spent a lot of time here this year (2025), as I travel through the area for work. Management is amazing, the entire staff is kind and attentive. Everyone from the front desk to housekeeping were accommodating and understanding every time I needed their assistance.

On a cold night, after having driven much too long, we came upon The Corning Hotel. Legs cramping getting out of the SUV, we see the evening manager has opened the door for us so we could enter. He found us a room close to parking. And our dog was welcomed. This young man is going far. He was exactly what we needed. Thank you. The room was welcoming and spotless. All the amenities were provided. My husband entered the room, laid down, and nodded off. We will be back, as we travel this way frequently. I highly recommend The Corning Hotel. (For reference, I am a former lodging facility manager and inspector.)
