Top Baxter Hotel Reviews

Homewood Suites By Hilton Ankeny

8/10 Good

"Traveled from Cali to Iowa for AAU junior Olympics. This was a 2nd choice hotel because we booked on hotels.com and they had the payment plan that worked. We stayed for 1week, the hotel was in a nice area, lots of food places around. clean. Front desk was extremely nice. Breakfast every morning. On Wednesday was alil complimentary wine and snacks. Room got cleaned every other day. No complaints."

La Quinta by Wyndham Altoona Des Moines

10/10 Excellent

"Facility was clean. Room great, though tub bottom is very slick....be careful. Woman serving breakfast was friendly and fun. Front desk personnel excellent. My only complaint was that we'd like to return next year and are not able to make reservations til Fall as their system is not "set up for next year""

Wyndham Garden Ankeny/Des Moines

8/10 Good

"Was a great experience would stay again on my list to stay"

Best Western Plus Altoona Inn

8/10 Good

"Check in/check out staff were very friendly and helpful. Beds were comfortable and room was clean. The breakfast was okay. Scrambled eggs were cold. We would stay there again as it is a good location and rates were reasonable."

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."

Courtyard Marriott Ankeny

8/10 Good

"It was fine. Was surprised that we didn’t get clean bath items. Especially wash cloths. We didn’t eat breakfast. Parking was good. Staff was pleasant."

Motel 6 Altoona, IA - Des Moines East
