This was the last night of a fast trip home across the country. It was such a gift to have a clean and comfortable room and the bed was heavenly. We slept well!
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.
Room was great. The vent in the bathroom leaked. Other than that great visit.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The Quality Inn in Altoona is just fine for a modestly priced hotel whether you need a quick stopover or perhaps visiting Adventureland. Staff were friendly and efficient. Furniture in the room was a bit weathered, but the bed was super comfortable with fresh coverings.
Very close to the Prairie Meadows Convention center. McDonalds, Taco Bell, Perkins were very close, within walking distance.
The man at the front desk was really nice, and made us feel at home.
