Top Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge Hotel Reviews

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is exceptional!"

Des Lux Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is top notch. We enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, the decor is so fun, and the staff was very accommodating. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, and was easy to access each morning. The only complaint was the parking was across the street in a garage that was not owned by the hotel. I would love easier parking options or valet."
