I stayed here for two nights and had absolutely no complaints. The room was quite large and well furnished with a table and 2 chairs, a nice desk with a nearby outlet, lots of lights and a downright HUGE counter beside the sink. It is so nice to have a place to spread out all the toiletries. There was also... More

I was quite disturbed with the bad reviews I read as I set visiting a sick relative In a hospital knowing I had to go to this motel late that night. I have no idea where all the negative statements came from. The room, sheets and bathroom were clean. There is a reclining chair and also another chair to sit... More

After seeing so many negative reviews of the Econo Lodge, I had to set the record straight. The room was clean and quiet and the bed was comfortable. WiFi worked great and there was a basic continental breakfast which was typical of motels at this price range. If you want an inexpensive place to stay when passing through Altoona, the... More

Cheap, old and run-down. Very much like most of Altoona, especially the downtown area. The hotel is in a sketchy, not very well-lit area, back a bit from the blvd. Sure, the price is low ($49 something) but after seeing the room, I do believe I was overcharged! Check-in was a tedious task, the clerk (who was dressed as if... More

This Econo Lodge could use an update, carpets are old and bit dirty, front desk staff are friendly, breakfast is bit below average, bottom line cheap price, location is OK. Altoona does not have much to begin with.

I called from the road to book a room and was not able to as their computers were down. When I arrived I was quoted a price of $49.00 plus tax. Since I planned to leave early and just needed a place to sleep, I took the room. As for the room, it was gross. The air conditioner worked but... More

I booked this hotel over the net, and did not have any illusions about the quality, we were moving to Canada, and just wanted a place to sleep! the biggest attraction was that the hotel allowed pets without any additional fee. The initial impression was negative and I did not feel safe, but seeing some couples and families I felt... More

I stayed at this hotel last week and I was asked to come to this site to give my opinion. As far as my stay it was well worth the money I paid for it. I was checked both in and out by a front desk clerk Tanya and she went far and beyond to make me and my wife... More

The management is terrible. The person who checked me in didn't know what they were doing so they under charged my card. Then after I checked out they charged me for the balence which is fine.. then the next week comes and they charge me again for the whole balence. So now I'm trying to get my money back and... More

Artwork looked as though it was pulled out of the dumpster; there were stinkbugs crawling on the ceiling; the two beds in the room had unmatching, old comforters and found a fake fingernail on the carpet. At least the towels were clean!
