This hotel suits travellers who put guest satisfaction first. It has the highest score of the 9 properties we compared, and guests single out a friendly, polite and helpful team.
Drivers and families also do well here. Free parking, family rooms, a pool and a gym are all listed, and Lakemont Park is about 15 minutes on foot. Pets appear in the property tags; the policy and any fee are not confirmed.
Skip it if your budget is tight. Despite the Best Value label, it was the most expensive of our three Altoona picks in our reference check. If you are sensitive to firm mattresses, read the guest comments below too.
Location and getting around
The address is 180 Charlotte Drive. Its location score of 9.5 out of 10 is the best among our Altoona picks, and guests like being close to the highway, main roads and local dining.
Lakemont Park is about 1.2 km away, roughly 15 minutes walking. Fort Fetter, Pennsylvania is about 4.1 km away, around 51 minutes, and the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament is about 5.4 km, around 68 minutes. Both are far on foot, so use a car, taxi or public transport. These are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.
What guests say
With 179 reviews, the hotel scores 9.3 out of 10. Staff draw the most praise, described as friendly, polite and helpful from the moment you arrive. Easy road access and nearby places to eat also come up often.
The one recurring complaint is the beds. Many guests find them comfortable, but some say they are too firm.

Why it made our top 3
We compared 9 eligible properties in Altoona. The Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and price, so it is not always the cheapest option. This hotel placed joint first of 9 on score, and that strength carried it despite the higher rate.
Before you book
Check today's price against our other two picks, as the gap was large in our reference check and rates change. Confirm breakfast inclusion, pool hours and the pet policy.
Room size, noise, renovation condition and cancellation terms have not been assessed. If you prefer a soft bed, ask the hotel about bedding options.
