    great location
    lacking bathroom amenities

    The location is fantastic, especially being close to Prairie Meadows Race Track and Casino for some family fun. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze. The air-conditioned room accommodated our large family well, providing us with a comfortable atmosphere.

    In my wife’s opinion, the bathroom lacked basic shelves for towels. A little more attention to detail would really help families feel more at home.

    Decent Stay with Friendly Staff

    I had a pleasant week-long stay, with Bonnie at the front desk being exceptionally helpful. The location near a truck stop is convenient but expect some noise. Be cautious of the room's musty smell. My tip, bring your own cleaning supplies and maybe a good air freshener!

    clean room
    comfortable bed

    It was just a balanced option for a mini-break over the weekend in Altoona with incredible value for money. The room was surprisingly clean and comfortable, making it a cozy spot to rest after a long journey. If you're sensitive to noise, try to request a room away from the main hallway.

    clean room
    friendly staff
    poor appearance
    room upkeep

    Clean rooms with new appliances caught my attention right away. I really appreciated the friendly front desk staff, especially Bonnie. The microwave and fridge looked fresh. The indoor pool seemed well-maintained, a nice spot to relax. I ran into issues when I realized the outside of the motel looked a bit neglected. Entering through a truck stop parking lot felt odd and made the arrival less welcoming. The check-in area needed more attention too. The room cleanliness could use improvement, with some areas needing better upkeep. Overall, I enjoyed the stay for the price but felt some aspects didn’t match the level of the services offered.

    Rooms surprisingly clean and comfortable. Accessing the motel through a truck stop feels awkward. Front desk staff super friendly, especially Bonnie. No breakfast or basic amenities like shampoo.

    The rooms were surprisingly clean and comfortable, making it a cozy spot to rest after a long journey. I appreciated the easy parking, which is always a plus for this senior traveler, and access was quite straightforward.

    More accessible seating in common areas would help.
