I go to Altoona several times a year to attend Altoona Curve baseball games. My first time trying the Altoona Grand was a great experience. The hotel is clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The on site restaurant and bar was a nice touch as well. We enjoyed some good food and drinks after the game. The staff were all friendly and willing to help. I will be sure to book again the next time I go back to Altoona.

No phone on 1st night, 2nd day, the tub was over flowing and hair came flowing in on my granddaughter during her shower. Complained about trash, uncleanliness and was given another room. Trash on balcony when we checked in. After complaints at checkout, No one addressed these issuses or reach out to me. No monetary adjustments were offered. A very bad experience and Do not recommend this disgusting place.

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it. This time tho the room wasn’t the neatest and the restaurant was supposed to be open till 10 on Sunday but it was closed when we got there at 6. Disappointed because they have such good food. Otherwise a great stay.

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Old school hotel that always comes through, room is outdated but has crazy character (mirror walls in the jacuzzi shower!)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.
