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Old school hotel that always comes through, room is outdated but has crazy character (mirror walls in the jacuzzi shower!)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

Always a pleasant stay.
Jennifer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel overall was clean. The receptionist rushed are check in because her shift was over and didn’t give any details on breakfast times or check out details, just told us where are room was and called it a day. The hotel is very outdated and it shows. Seats in the dining area are very worn and uncomfortable. The room I stayed in had damaged towel hooks they were never replaced and other minor cosmetic problems in the bathroom.

Just like the 80s.

It was a great walk down memory lane of how great motels and hotels were when i was a child. The kids loved it. They loved the pool.

It was good only thing was the hot tub was out of Service
Whitney, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only mildly inconvenient aspects of the stay was the pillow quality and the length of time for the room to cool down upon arrival. Service was great. The pool was wonderful and the in house restaurant was excellent. The staff was on their game. Overall an excellent experience.
Kahlin, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Over night stay.

The hot tub wasn’t open and some guy spit in the pool so we got out and then we didn’t know that once food was being done for breakfast they didn’t make more so we only was able to get waffles or cereal.
