It was for a business trip. This has been the best stay in the area for the price range I’ve had in the 9 months I’ve been to the area. Will be back next time I stay in Altoona.

While somewhat, we did enjoy our stay which was at an affordable price very close to many resturants and stores.
Steven, 1-night trip

We stayed one night. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. I loved the jetted tub. We had a room that opened into the pool area. That was a nice surprise. All staff we encountered were pleasant.

Room wasn’t what was ordered. Hotel staff didn’t listen. For the amount of money spent should’ve been better accommodated

Friendly reception. Room was tired and stained and bathroom had mold throughout the grout and rust overhead. Toilet struggled to flush normally. Hot tub on property was empty/no water. Chafing dishes at breakfast had missing had missing/empty heat sources below.

Front desk staff was great and that’s about it.
Sara, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The only mildly inconvenient aspects of the stay was the pillow quality and the length of time for the room to cool down upon arrival. Service was great. The pool was wonderful and the in house restaurant was excellent. The staff was on their game. Overall an excellent experience.

Had a weeks long power outage, so we needed to stay in a hotel. It was pleasant, convenient and the staff was great!!! The loaded bacon & cheese fries in the Grouse are absolutely the best!!!! The bartender, Brea was fantastic!!!
Jeffrey, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was nice. Remember to pick your cell phone cords up off the floor before house keeping comes in or they will destroy them in the vacuum. Other than that the stay was very pleasant.

The staff were wonderful and helpful.
Marissa, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

The courtyard, banquet hall, pool and restaurant seem to be nice with a good looking bar. The rooms are awful, bathtubs had mold/mildew just gross. Our front desk associate tried to make everything right but it was out of her hands.
Anthony, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Over night stay.

The hot tub wasn’t open and some guy spit in the pool so we got out and then we didn’t know that once food was being done for breakfast they didn’t make more so we only was able to get waffles or cereal.
