Studio 6 Altoona, IA - des Moines East

Just stayed one night. Asked about weekly rate. Crazy high. Gives no discount for the longer you stay.

After staying in the same room on the fourth day manager guy comes to my door at midnight saying I didn't pay my bill for that day I told him I did he took me to the front desk said he couldn't find it on the computer I told him I paid online with the lady that was working flat out called me a liar said I was lying I didn't pay I told him I did pay I could show him the itinerary number and he called me a liar again I explained to him when I paid what time I paid he went and got the lady that check me in and she confirmed I checked in and paid she forgot to enter it in the computer I have never been called a liar to my face four times

...Not the best place I've stayed at! The pics in the listing are very deceiving. It took a while to get checked in. I explained to the man at the front desk I was traveling alone. He originally gave me a room around back, I did not feel safe and secure back there. So, it took another few minutes to get something on the ground floor close to the office. They then gave me a room with a light switch that didn't work, hence no light above the mirror. When I questioned the housekeeper about it, she simply stated that "it didn't work, no light there". I was too tired from my trip, and it was already a second room switch, so I made the best of it!

The staff is very nice and prompt. My room was clean. The motel itself was quiet. Love the little kitchenette and that they’re pet friendly.

Don’t be surprised Terrible exterior but has updated rooms. No elevator. Near Adventure Land.

Stay was inexpensive and good enough for one night. Staff were courteous at check in. No elevators (only stairs) to second floor. Being next to a truck stop there was some evening noise but that settled down during the night. There was a surprise 50$ deposit required that was refunded a few days later as they promised.
