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...

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...

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....

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...

Thank you for your kind review. I was just selecting the annual plantings that will accent the wooded landscape area this year. As you mentioned it is a great space to relax in. I hope that this years plantings will attract many butterflies and humming birds that our guests can enjoy watching. You are correct, we are preparing for a...

I stayed at this location due to a family member passing and the staff was very kind and friendly. It looks to be a old hotel but it is maintained very well. I work in hotels as well and always look for things that may be wrong(force of habit) and I could not find anything. I will stay here every...

Thank you for sharing your review of our hotel. You had many kind things to say. I did note your room tip and I apologize if kids in the hall were an issue during your stay.
