Nightmare in Altoona

The beds were absolutely horrible We slept less than two hours if that. There was no hot water in the shower, and it took 5 minutes to be able to turn on the shower to begin with. When the heat (which barely worked) turned off and on it was like a locomotive was in the room. The breakfast would have been better a homeless shelter. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS "HOTEL" We should have slept in our car.

Very disappointing---we had reserved a room with the express purpose of watching the Super Bowl while drinking in the bar area--but they closed the bar early, 1/2 hour before the game started---feel like they should have something on their website to let people know that their posted hours may not be adhered to--oh well hopefully next Super Bowl we can find a different hotel

Would Recommend

The staff was very friendly. The rooms and some decor were a little dated, but nice. The pool area was nice. We would definitely stay there again.

Hotel was okay. Our toilet broke they did give us a new room. The pool area was cold and water was chilly so u couldn’t go in. Also the workout room was minimal and machines they did have were broke.

We came for a short visit and if I had any options to find another room at a different hotel, I would have. The last at the front that checked me in was very rude too!
