The Wyngate Hotel is in the historic district of Altoona, near the train station (walkable). The staff are wonderfully helpful and the free breakfast is generous. However, the pillows on the bed were hard as rocks and too high for my neck. I prefer pillows that I can sink into. So I slept very poorly.
