Good little one nighter
This is a great newer property. Maintenance seems to be well kept and lots of cozy room in the lobby for hanging out even away from the bar. This was our 2nd stay weather related and while i do appreciate the price point and location - the pool needs a better heater or turned up a little warmer for us older bodies, and the beds need upgraded or pillow tops to them. Otherwise, breakfast was good and rooms efficient. Check in is quick and easy as well.

Mother daughter reunion.
The king Deluxe was perfect for my daughter and I to meet in the middle between MN and KS. It had a large sectional that was perfect for hanging out, playing games etc. Very nice walk in shower.

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.
