Categories

Cleanliness
4
Multiple reviews reported dirty rooms and hallways, lingering smoke smell, hair on floors, mold/caulking issues around tubs, ice buildup in freezer, outside trash — overall cleanliness is poor.
Service
8.8
Staff frequently described as friendly and helpful (pleasant check-in clerks, accommodated room requests). A few reports of unhelpful/ignorant employees and delayed towels, but overall staff interactions skew positive, so score is slightly elevated to balance overall rating.
Location
9
Repeatedly praised for proximity to highway/Route 99 and being close to guests' destinations; location is a consistent positive.
Room Quality
4.5
Many mentions of dated rooms, wrong bed sizes (full vs queen), mattresses needing replacement, stained/broken furniture, leaking fixtures and small bathrooms — room condition is below standard.
Amenities
6
Basic amenities available (breakfast offered, pet-friendly), but problems noted: no elevator for a 3-floor property, spotty WiFi/TV, limited breakfast selection — amenities are functional but limited.
Value for Money
8.6
Several guests noted the hotel was the cheapest acceptable option for the area and that it 'worked out' for a night; despite condition issues, price and basic functionality provided good perceived value.
Food and Beverage
5
Breakfast described as very sparse by multiple guests; limited offerings and minor problems (e.g., freezer full of ice) make F&B below average.
Overall Experience
8.5
Mixed experiences: a number of strong positives (helpful staff, convenient location, acceptable for price) offset by recurring cleanliness, room condition, and noise/safety complaints; overall experience leans acceptable to good for budget travelers.

It was pleasant and will never go back or recommend.Unless I'm paid to say different or to lie
Pros:

Breakfast was a 8 oz sunny dee and shitty coffee and the muffins were alright.Not a very good healthy breakfast.Cheap and not caring about nutritional values.Fruit and yogurts peanut butter jelly bagels.Litttle effort and caring about there guest's and business integrity and not saving money on cheap 2nd hand recliners and small TVs and cheap Continental breakfast.Thry would be better if it wasn't about saving money.

Cons:

The reclining chair was so old and beat up.They accused me of burning it and I did not.It needs burnt in a fire it's so bad.Cleaner rooms and better breakfast.

Cheapest hotel for that weekend in the Altoona area that wasn’t a motel.
Pros:

Property was close for what we needed.

Cons:

Very dated inside, smelled like marijuana as soon as we walked into the lobby at 11:30PM for our late check in. The rooms need a major update. The bed was a full, not a queen. Mattress Definitely needs replaced… there was a large brown recliner in the room that was stained on the seat and broken, belonged in the trash. Bedside table lamp outlet didn’t work so you have to use a wall outlet and bring a long phone cord. The bathroom is small, hair on floor and some mold in tub area around drain. Decent water pressure. We only stayed one night, used the room to sleep and shower so it worked out but could have been better. Tv picture was in and out due to their WiFi connection. It kept giving a spinning loading icon every so many minutes.
