Extremely clean and modern

Such a nice clean hotel with a indoor pool and hot tub. Everything was so modern and clean. Love the Burger Shed restaurant next door that you can walk to after a long day at Adventureland. Excellent location being right across from the huge Des Moines Outlet mall and a 5 minute drive to Adventureland. We will definitely be staying here again next time we are in Altoona.
