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 The bathroom was slightly outdated but spotless.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.

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.

We loved the pool, bummed that the hot tub is permanently closed. Staff is very friendly, hotel is clean. Updates have definitely been done since its glory days. We would definitely stay again if in the area. I travelled alone with my 12 year old son, felt safe and comfortable. Breakfast was good, the coffee at breakfast wasn’t the best.

This hotel was definitely not a place we’d stay again. There was extremely heavy smoking and it smelled very bad. The doors had “non-smoking room” written In sharpie on them and our room had what looked like cult signs in the bathroom wall. The tub didn’t hold water and the water pressure was so poor we couldn’t take a shower. I could barely brush my teeth. The rooms smelled like old and fresh cigarette smoke, chlorine and dirty bodies. The hallways were dirty and gross. The reason we gave it 2 stars was because weirdly enough the begs were comfortable.
