Standard LaQuinta with a nicely updated lobby area and good breakfast. Indoor pool area is very small, but good enough if you need to let your kids splash around for a little while. A number of restaurants in the same area due to the proximity to Adventureland. Good budget option for Altoona area.

Our go to place to stay
We have stayed at this location several times. Always great service. Breakfast is good, great bed and plenty of space in the rooms. Nothing major but noticed that some of the walls needed a good wipe down.

Very Good Place to Stay
I wish I remembered the name of the gentleman at the front desk. He was very professional and pleasant. He was working the bar and the front desk and never missed a beat. The hotel is very clean and in great condition.
