There is nothing significantly wrong with this hotel...just a hundred little things. First, larger rooms, which cost more, are located in the loudest spots, next to stairs and elevators. So good luck getting anything "special." It's Best Western, so my expectations are automatically lowered, but for the price, I'd expect the details to be attended to. I mean, the toilet... More

I've stayed here (Altoona Inn) on two separate occasions (one night each) during the last two weeks (7 and 11 February 2013). The staff is very friendly, the bed rather comfortable, and the location is not bad. I'm guessing it would be a more busier hotel during the spring and summer months. There is an amusement park directly across the... More

I stayed overnight at the Altoona Inn in November, and was not impressed with the comfort level of the bed or the efficiency of the furnace. The breakfast was ok. For around $70, I might have said it was fine, but with taxes I paid close to $100 and didn't feel it was worth that price.

The motel itself was above average, but the parking lot was a mess. It still had not been cleaned off from the snow the previous week and had turned to ice.

Very helpful and friendly staff. Clean rooms clean hallways. Cookies and popcorn is a plus. Your channel selection is great. Keep up the good work, and keep the greet with a smile. That " keep the greet with a smile" is a good slogan (Hint).Thanks Best Western of Altoona, Iowa. I will be back to stay a day or two.

for a suite it should have been better condition. The caulking was missing around parts of the tub surround. Shows lack of maintence, room was nice. breakfast was crowded, I'd get rid of the "pancake machine" too tough. And NO BUTTER? what? really, we are in america's heartland, right next door to the state fair grounds where there is a... More

I have stayed in this hotel many times as a female business traveler. The staff are freindly and accomodating. The bed is comfortable and the noise level is low. Although it is not new, it is clean and well-kept. I recommend it!

Property was generally clean. We had a larger room and liked the design although the sink area in the bathroom was too small. Breakfast area is a little too small to accommodate very many people. We were here for a convention at Prairie Meadows. We were planning on staying only Friday night but decided to stay Saturday night also. We... More
