I am not one to pay much for a hotel room. It's always a gamble on rather the hotel will be clean and comfortable or not. This hotel exceeded my expectations. It was both clean and comfortable. Breakfast was free and satisfactory. The clerk who checked us in at 9pm was fast and friendly. For our short less than 12 hour stay it was well worth the money.

The Quality Inn in Altoona is just fine for a modestly priced hotel whether you need a quick stopover or perhaps visiting Adventureland. Staff were friendly and efficient. Furniture in the room was a bit weathered, but the bed was super comfortable with fresh coverings.

The entire building smelled nasty and the hallways were incredibly dark and scary. It felt like walking through an episode of American Horror Story. In the room, the stand the tv was on beat to hell and the door looked liked it had been kicked in at one point. We noped out of there immediately and went to a different hotel. The whole atmosphere around the hotel felt dangerous and unsafe. My partner, who is a rather large and muscular man felt creeped out as well.

Average budget lodging.

It was just a place to layover a night, so our expectations were low. The iron did not work, pretty quiet place.
