There was a small bar, large lounge area, good breakfast, and an exercise room. The room was spacious and clean. The property was clean and smelled nice. The amenities were high quality - like Dove soap. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay here again on my trips across the country.

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.

I was on a work trip, and when I indicated to my daughter that I needed a hotel room, she quickly responded with LaQuinta. She said the rooms were nice, the breakfast delicious, and the location handy. And she was right! I also enjoyed some time in the gym and appreciated all the equipment working, including the television so I could watch the news. Often those are neglected spots in a hotel, but not here. Thank you for a nice stay.
