Altoona was beautiful

The hotel was gorgeous upon walking in. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was slightly outdated but spotless. Its obvious that they're making changes and updating the rooms. The price was perfect and just what we wanted.

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it. This time tho the room wasn’t the neatest and the restaurant was supposed to be open till 10 on Sunday but it was closed when we got there at 6. Disappointed because they have such good food. Otherwise a great stay.
