We checked in to our rooms (I had 3 reserved room) after a day at Adventureland. The baby was tired so he was crying as we checked in. The clerk checking us in was a total jerk and said ‘just so you know, if I get too many complaint about noise from the kids I will kick you out” The mom of the baby was devastated and so worried she would cause us all to get kicked out in the middle of the night. For a supposed family friendly hotel next to Adventureland, they sure weren’t friendly to my family. (The baby went straight to sleep as soon as his mommy got him in the room and was able to lay him down and was quiet all night, btw) other than this staff person, the hotel was nice.

Police surrounding the hotel. Couldn't get a refund due to fear for safety. Budget hotels don't work good when they aren't safe. This place has no standard to make for safety. Wild wild west out there.

Quality Inn Altoona

We choose Quality Inn because it was a one night stay during a long road trip. We wanted an affordable quick stay. They serve a free breakfast which the only complaint we had were the eggs were still cold.

Check in was very fast. I requested a room with a walk in shower due to my disability. They called me, told me that one was not available. I had a handicap room with a shower with a bench ( it made it easier for me to get in). Nowadays it’s hard to get a very clean and comfortable room this one was terrific! The breakfast was excellent. Staff very friendly and professional. I would recommend this establishment to everyone!

We had the indoor pool to ourselves on both days we were there. The Desk clerk was always helpful. This place is just across the street from Adventure Land so it was real handy. You could walk over.

We had a nice stay here. The hotel was nice, clean, and quiet. The staff were very nice and helpful. Continental breakfast was good. The only downside was the pool was not working due to mechanical issues.
