This was a slightly subpar Holiday Inn Express. The staff was indifferent. The room was small. The bathroom was especially small. The water pressure and hot water was inconsistent. The styling of the hotel is dated. I wonder if is rated so well because of all the gas workers staying here? Next time I stay out this way I'm trying... More

Don't go to this place if you're looking for great location or relaxing style. In fact, I almost missed it located as it is in the back of an ugly looking cement parking and my room was facing a lovely trash dump area which was conveniently visited by huge trash truck just as I was beginning to fall sleep. Perfect... More

I rented two rooms for a family wedding in Altoona. The staff at the front desk were very polite, thorough, and smiling! The decor in our rooms was homey, bathrooms were super clean. The frig was supplied with complimentary bottled water, popcorn and granola bars. The unlimited complimentary breakfast had a variety of hot/cold items as well as fresh fruit.... More

We stayed here after visiting the Penn State Altoona campus, and wasn't disappointed at all. The beds were large, comfortable and clean, as was the room itself. The bathroom was also very clean, in fact, everywhere we saw in the hotel was clean. (Lobby, breakfast room, corridors, rooms). The breakfast was well stocked, and everything you needed was available. All... More

Actually stayed here 2 times in the past month, & both times were great to say the least. Comfortable room - beds soft, and room very clean. Requested a view of the rear of the hotel - & was given just that. There is a small stream & wooded area to the rear of the hotel, I personally think it's... More
