We booked the room through a online travel website for Friday May 15. Upon entering the room we discovered that it was a smoking room. The clerk initially stated that there was a non-smoking room available but upon noting that we booked through a online website said that there was nothing he could do. the website contacted the hotel on my behalf and had no success. Super 8 Corporate office stated that as a franchise there was nothing they could do. The property owner lives in South Dakota and has no local interest. I would advise everyone to seek lodging at a place other than this one. The online travel website was great attempting to work on my behalf.

ALTOONA FALL COLORS IN PEAK - HOTEL WAS JUST OK

ON THE POSITIVE SIDE, HOTEL IS DECORATED TASTEFULLY WITHOUT EXTRAVAGANCE AND THE STAFF IS VERY POLITE AND ALWAYS HELPFUL. CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST WAS NICE. HOTEL REALLY SHOULD NOT TRY TO ACCOMMODATE YOUNG CHILDREN AND ELDERLY. TOOK MY TODDLER ABOUT 2 MINUTES UPON ENTERING ROOM TO FIND A BROKEN SCREEN AND A WINDOW THAT DOES NOT HAVE A LOCK. BTW - WE CHECKED IN EARLIER THAN MOST GUESTS BUT WERE GIVEN A THIRD FLOOR ROOM. ADDITIONALLY, HAD TO KEEP REFILLING THE ICE HOLDER {NOT EXACTLY A BUCKET!!!} BECAUSE THERE WAS NO FRIDGE. THERE WAS NO MILK OR JUICE - EVEN IN THE VENDING MACHINES - EXCEPT AT BREAKFAST - SO WHEN YOU NEEDED SOMETHING FOR THE CHILD THERE WAS NOTHING WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE. ADDITIONALLY, I DIDN'T APPRECIATE SEEING AN 80+ YEAR OLD COUPLE HAVING TO CARRY THEIR LUGGAGE UP THE STAIRS BECAUSE THERE IS NO ELEVATOR OR EMPLOYEES AVAILABLE TO ASSIST THEM. I WAS RAISED TO RESPECT MY ELDERS AND THOUGHT THEY SHOWED NO CLASS IN THAT WAY.

The first time I was at this hotel it was great for the money. so to the same place we stayed at the same hotel of course when we returned 2 months later the hotel was horrible the beds were below my knees and seem to be all box springs, the room was a smoking room even though I booked a non-smoking room and the rooms down the hallway must have been party rooms because they let the heavy doors slam shut til around 3:00 am. I guess I'll be looking for other hotels in the area next time.

Entered the room and found that the A/C vents would only blow upward, inflating the curtains in an unusual manner very much like a large girl's culottes. I was pleased at the complete lack of a burnt-dog-hair smell in the building (a problem at the last hotel I stayed at in this area) but was puzzled by the presence of an ice bucket in the room but the lack of an ice machine, meaning that the Asti Spumanti had to remain at room temperature. I was very pleased at the hotel's proximity to Altoona's Mallo Cup Factory, a major destination to be sure, and the R Waffle House, a gustatory delight. Our front-desk clerk was delightfully free of tattoos and fresh stitches, also a concern at my last hotel stay. Although much of Altoona is apparently closed on Monday nights, the cable TV in the room served well as a diversion. Overall, when visiting Altoona this is a very good place to be from.
