I was planning on staying at this establishment for my first night of a 3-day road trip from Colorado to DC. I chose Settle Inn because it was reasonably priced and "pet-friendly" according to their website (the phrase pet friendly is stated directly on the front page of their website). When I walked in the front door I was turned... More

My husband and I needed a place to stay close to our Immigration Interview in downtown Des Moines. We were traveling from Rockford, IL. (In the late March Snow Storm). We wanted a hotel with an in-room whirlpool. I searched many sites and did not find a single hotel in the area with an in-room whirlpool tub. When I stumbled... More

I had read the reviews here before and was scared. Thanks to Cindy, we were treated "like we were in her home". It is an older hotel but quite, clean and friendly. Would stay here again! Don't be afraid to take the chance to experience this hotel...it is worth it. Thanks staff!

The noise between rooms in this place is terrible. People in the room above us walked the floor all night and the floors squeak!! The walls are paper thin, you hear people talking in the rooms around you. Breakfast is marginal at best. It's a poor value for the money. Three people at check out, but I had to wait... More

We have stayed at the Setle Inn in Altoona several times. The rooms are very plain - though they have finally replace TV's to newer style. Furnishings are dated and cheap. Most of the single rooms have only queen beds rather than Kings even though the rooms are large enough to accommodate a king. Pool and hot tub are nite.... More

We stayed here recently on a trip to Adventureland in Des Moines. The hotel is conveniently located just down the road, maybe a mile a most, from the amusement park so not a bad drive at all. We found the staff to be friendly and inviting, the room was clean and orderly and overall the hotel was quiet and relaxing... More

Unbelievable!!! Never would have thought this chain of hotel would allow its rooms to get so run down.floor was weak in hall way.top blanket was hairy on bottom side an smelled like sex..waking up to having itch finding bugs wasnt the way we wanted to end our day. Moved to better hotel.someone needs to fire housekeeping!!!

We here at the Settle Inn take all feedback from our guests very serious. Our desk clerk, Manager, Maintenance, plus pest control company have tore the room apart and investigated all furnishings without finding any bugs. Thank you for your review. More

The hospitality was welcoming and helpful. We were grateful for recommendation of pizza delivery service which was surprisingly good. The theme room was awesome. Bed was comfortable and the space to move around generous. The continental breakfast was super as well. Would go back and definitely recommend to others.
