Altoona was beautiful

The hotel was gorgeous upon walking in. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was slightly outdated but spotless. Its obvious that they're making changes and updating the rooms. The price was perfect and just what we wanted.

Classic hotel in Altoona!

Old school hotel that always comes through, room is outdated but has crazy character (mirror walls in the jacuzzi shower!) Staff was super helpful at check in for a room preference. Would always recommend this classic hotel in Altoona.

Very nice stay

The property is gorgeous, staff was friendly and attentive. We stopped off for the night in the middle of a road trip. The indoor pool is really big, if we brought the kids, they would have had a blast. If I have to complain, the bed wasn't superb, but it was good enough.

highly recommend!

super nice place! a bit dated but fancy, beautiful atrium/pool and spacious room. staff was friendly even though we checked in past midnight :)
Alyssa, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was easy. The room was questionably clean. Some furniture, table. Lamps were sticky, TV did not work, two roaches on the wall in the sleeping area and small bugs in the shower area. People talking loudly and cursing in the back parking lot outside my window Past midnight on both nights. The cable box needed to be replaced, and the maintenance crew were very apologetic and fixed it during my second night. The entrance to the hotel and meeting and conference areas were very clean and inviting, however, the building that I was in to the rear needs work.
