Top Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino Hotel Reviews

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here a few times now just perfect! Clean clean clea!!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Altoona-Des Moines

8/10 Good

"The staff was friendly and helpful; my only issue with staff was that they were unfamiliar with a subject I had a question about. (She was not familiar with the name of the application I booked through... probably not her fault since at the time I couldn't remember it either, but it led to a payment uncertainty.) The only other problem came from being booked into an adjoining room; we did not know the people in the other room, and they had the TV on ALL night. We could hear it and see light under the door, so maybe it was just an issue of the door needing to be longer, or at least more soundproof."

Hyatt Place Altoona/Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed for a family wedding. Easy on/off the expressway- but far enough away not to get expressway noise. Close to dining options, last minute shopping and gas! Not prepared for so many young soccer players, but mostly well behaved for their ages ( kudos Mom and Dad!)… would stay again!"

Quality Inn & Suites Altoona - Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Clean room, friendly staff, sufficient breakfast, very good as expected"

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

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff. Clean and quiet environment!"

WoodSpring Suites Des Moines Pleasant Hill

10/10 Excellent

"I had a great experience staying at WoodSpring Suites in Pleasant Hill, Iowa. The staff was absolutely amazing and always helpful. Tonya was especially wonderful—she always greeted me with a smile, was friendly, helpful, and never made me feel like I was a bother. She truly made my stay more comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a clean, friendly place with great customer service. Thank you to Tonya and the entire staff for making my stay such a positive experience!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Altoona

8/10 Good

"It was a good stay. The only thing that bothered me was that the exhaust fan in the bathroom did not work."
