Home2 Suites By Hilton Altoona Des Moines

8/10 Good
"Our Home2 by Hilton experience was an absolute pleasure in all areas until we got to breakfast. We were welcomed warmly into the new and squeaky clean facility, impressed by the big room and kitchenette. We grabbed a microwave meal from the nicely displayed selections in the coolers just off the lobby and were tempted by the beautiful pool. We slept soundly in our comfortable king sized bed. Soon after 6 AM we ventured down to breakfast. We found the food around the corner from the lobby. There was a good selection of breakfast fare on display in modern glass-faced warmers. Unfortunately it took some work to finagle the food out of the case with the tongs provided. We also could not find any salt and pepper. Once seated in the attractive dining area, we found our food lukewarm at best and the coffee less than impressive — an anticlimactic end to an otherwise perfect stay."
