Avoid the restaurant / steakhouse next door. Instead opt for a short drive to either Lonestar Steakhouse, Outback Steakhouse or Jethro's.

Just what we needed after a long day!
The staff was very welcoming. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was awesome. We ate outside and the patio area was cozy and nicely decorated. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Convenient and Comfortable
Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay at this hotel, it was the most convenient. When I called directly to make a reservation they were booked, then I tried another on-line service and they were booked, so glad I tried Orbitz...........a very comfortable room was available!!!!!!!!!!

Friendly Altoona, PA Motel
Very friendly and helpful staff. Felt like staying with family. Staff told us about a spring-fed pool in Blue Knob. Excellent experience. Nice to wake up to free coffee and breakfast. Motel is conveniently located in Altoona, but no extra road noise. A sweet garden-park in the back of the motel. I would definitely stay at this motel again. Free Internet was refreshing.

From the 80s
The hotel was clean and stuff was friendly. However it's not quiet and is outdated - the rooms need better soundproofing. When people slamming doors, walking and talking you can hear every sound in your room. The Hamptons Inn is much nicer for $20 more or you can get the same level rooms and service at super8 motel for half of this price. Oh, and the jacuzzi is not operational.
