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.

We love to make a weekend out of our ISF trip, and this was our 4th year now staying overnight at a hotel..we’ve had some trial and errors the last 3 times but THIS year we found the winner! Hyatt Place was truly everything it claimed to be and more! Main uses of the room of course is to sleep and shower, so why does it really matter where we stay?! The location was super convenient and comfortable being near the outlet mall, there’s a variety of places to eat real close by, it took us no time at all to get to the fairgrounds, and their cleaning crew is truly top tier! We’ve stayed a different place each year and sadly did not have great experiences, but the Hyatt stole our hearts only adding to a trip we look forward to every year! We would highly recommend them to all, you won’t be disappointed! (already booking for 2026) Thank you so much, and we’ll see you next time!
