Facilities: Very good, gym, swimming pool, laundry room Environment: The hotel is very new but there is no smell. The opposite is tens of meters away from the cinema. There are Sam and Wal-Mart and Japanese barber shops. Drive for 3 minutes and walk to calculate by yourself. Hygienic: The room was well organized when I checked in. It was very clean. The bathroom was very large compared to the three-star hotel in the United States and the hot water was very big. Friends who often go abroad should know that the water output from foreign hotels is really too urgent. Service: The front desk is very warm, but the room cleaning is not scheduled and will not be actively cleaned. This is not very convenient for guests with poor English.

Great full service hotel. We arrived after a long day of driving to find a friendly reception from desk clerk who efficiently checked us into a clean and well appointed room. It was an interior room overlooking an indoor courtyard that was very quiet and convenient to other parts of the hotel. The room was super clean with a separate bathroom sink area and sufficient furniture and comfortable mattress. Wifi was good and there were plenty of channels on smallish (32 inch?) LCD TV. The only suggestion I have for the room is a larger TV. We were able to visit the onsite pub for happy hour priced dinner with excellent cold beer and reasonable prices for pub type foods. Once again, we were greeted by friendly staff who took the time to talk to us about the area and efficiently deliver our food and drink order. The breakfast was OK - simple continental breakfast with toast, waffles, yougurt, cereals, apples, coffee, milk and juice. I would have liked a bagel or better fruit choices but understand that on weekends they have a larger buffet. It was enough to get our day started. Overall an excellent choice of a hotel at a resonable price when travelling through the area.

A no frill hotel with mountain view. The check in staff was a bit too curt, a little smile wouldn't hurt miss. There were some smell when we entered the room. Room needs some freshen up. Breakfast was meh but the coffee was excellent! It was what we expected from a budget hotel. A room to sleep after a long day.

BUYER BEWARE - HOTEL OWNERS ARE THIEVES!!! I made a reservation for two nights with a pre-paid award member rate which included Free Cancellation up through the day before my stay. I phoned the hotel to modify my reservation from two nights to one night two weeks before my stay, and I was told that the hotel would not accommodate my request. I could however stay for one night, but I would be charged for two nights… HUH? Since I did not wish to pay for an extra night I would not be using, I requested to cancel my reservation as I had booked with a clear free cancellation policy which I had in writing. I was then informed that hotel refused to cancel my reservation and they would not refund my payment. When I expressed frustration and disbelief with the hotel’s actions, I was told ‘I could call corporate’. So, I did call corporate and then spent three hours on the phone with various levels of Choice Hotels' customer service. Although every person I spoke to at Choice customer service agreed that the hotel should/must refund my payment, the local hotel management refused to follow the written cancellation policy under my reservation and refund my payment. I was also dumbfounded to learn that Choice customer service appears to be powerless to enforce Choice Corporate Policy even when the local hotel property is in the wrong! So, it was a total waste of a very frustrating three hours to right the hotel’s wrong and secure a refund. Needless to say that I will never be staying in this hotel due to their unscrupulous, unprofessional actions, and I think that you should consider whether you wish to stay in a hotel that does not honor written reservation policies and has total disregard for their customers. Buyer Beware, as this establishment is managed by unethical, dishonorable people who may not honor any reservation or commitment made to you as well. Be very careful before giving them and deposit or advance down payment. There are many other hotels in the area that are cleaner and of higher quality, and I would advise that you 'Hard Pass' on staying at this Quality Inn in Altoona, PA. In a quick read of other comments re: this hotel, I see that others have suffered the same, or similar, treatment/problems as I did. This suggests that the issue described above is not a one-off situation, but rather a more routine practice by this hotel and even more concerning! The hotel owners are Vishalkumar Patel and Rajendrakumar Patel and they should not be trusted! Happy travels,
