Check in was very smooth. We arrived after midnight and had to ring a bell but the night clerk was quick to get us checked in. You can tell the property is older and could use a little facelift but it was clean. The king mattress we had was very firm, not my style. The pillows were comfortable. Breakfast was adequate. Sausage links, eggs, potatoes, waffles and hot and cold cereals. There were also some bread choices. Overall I’d stay again if passing through.

This is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in - ever! Staff at front desk was friendly, so not blaming them. However, the room was dirty, there was a scent diffuser plugged into the wall to cover up a suspicious smell, there was a big yellow stain on the comforter for the bed, stains on the carpet, and hair on our pillow cases. If staying in Altoona, do yourself a favor and pay a little more for a nicer place. This was not a good experience for me or my wife.

The carpet needs replaced since it looked like they moved furniture and left a 6 inch hole/run in the carpet. The air was damp and it wasn’t humid outside either. After hanging up my clothes and going out for the evening, we came back to our clothes feeling cold and damp. The free “breakfast” was a joke. The eggs and sausage links were microwaved, the fresh fruit consisted of 4 apples and 3 Cutie oranges. The best thing I can say is the orange juice was wonderful. The very best thing of the hotel was the bed. The mattress would have been strapped to the hood of my car if I could have gotten it out the window LOL

The hotel had no elevator, the rooms smelled musty, but were surprisingly pretty clean. The beds were just okay. The hotel itself was dated and worn. Decent location with plenty of didning options.
