Sharon, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was okay. Our toilet broke they did give us a new room. The pool area was cold and water was chilly so u couldn’t go in. Also the workout room was minimal and machines they did have were broke.
melissa, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Nightmare in Altoona
The beds were absolutely horrible We slept less than two hours if that. There was no hot water in the shower, and it took 5 minutes to be able to turn on the shower to begin with. When the heat (which barely worked) turned off and on it was like a locomotive was in the room. The breakfast would have been better a homeless shelter. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS "HOTEL" We should have slept in our car.
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Needs updated
Defintley needs updated. Rooms are very out of date and lots of things falling apart or poor condition.
Autumn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was a convenient location, quiet the nights we stayed and the pool was nice.
KAREN, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I like the sit down areas they have all through the hotel and the scenery. The only thing I didn’t like is that the hot tub was down and that’s my favorite thing about that place but other than that everything was great.
Summer, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff at the front desk was very welcoming and the waitress who took care of us in the restaurant was great and very kind to our kids.
Jacob, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice place and enjoyed the weekend breakfast and the bar had great food. We will be staying again when visiting my family.
Tammy, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Service was good. Heat was terrible. It took hours to heat the room 5 degrees. Also it was so noisy forget a relaxing day. Hot water only luke warm and shower drain clogged so you were standing in a couple inches of water during shower.

Penn State Weekwnd Hotel
Front desk and meals were great! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Really good food and breakfast is more than just a continental breakfast. Room bathroom is outdated but clean. Bed was extremely hard.
Heather, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I liked the morning breakfast buffet and the hotel and staff were all very good. The back side of the comforter was stained but clean, you may need to replace them
Thomas, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was just wonderful comfortable quiet and very clean. It’s a bit dated but that doesn’t bother me. I look for clean quite comfortable rooms and this is perfect. Pool was heated ..and the restaurant inside was very good!
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not quite as good as usal
The breakfast used to include things like eggs and breakfast meat. These were not part of the breakfast. Disappointing. The pool used to be warmer as well. Other than that everything was good.
Kevin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I typically stay here on my way home from Penn State Football games. This is an older property but they have made significant improvements. I noticed that the rooms have been remodeled on my last few visits. I will continue to stay here in the future. Many dining options nearby.
