Altoona Grand Hotel - Altoona (PA)

1 /5 Wayne Wiley: Very rude, ignorant staff! The guards act like they’re better than everyone else! I was at the New Year’s party and some guy threatened to fight me for no reason at all! When I confronted him to ask him what his problem was….3 guards came running over, threw me down hurt my knee. They said I have to go to my room , so I was walking to my room and the one guard kept pushing me while I was walking. I stopped and said quit pushing me, so he called the cops! I don’t know what their problem is at that place but…. Then another person had someone threaten him and he also got thrown out! Not the guy doing the threatening! I had fun up until the staff started being rude and ignorant and wouldn’t even let me talk! Don’t stay here!i Well the hotel answered my review. Just as I figured, they lied! There was no physical contact between a female and I! Some guy told them that’s what happened…which is a lie! They wouldn’t even let me tell my side! The same thing happened to a couple people that night!

5 /5 Frank Polloni: I honestly had a wonderful trip out at the Grand Altoona hotel, I originally selected it due to its reasonable cost but fell in love with its charms. Like Ill be the first to admit it shows its age a bit, but all the staff was friendly, the on site restaurant was good and the pool was large. I will definitely be going again. Frank

5 /5 Lorene Park: I have stayed here twice so far, and I highly recommend it, even for just a one-night stay on a road trip. It has easy access to the highway but not the typical noisy traffic (both vehicle and late-night patrons) that I often encounter. The interior is beautifully kept. The rooms are immaculate and the beds very comfortable. There is in-hotel dining, a nice pool, and helpful staff. I particularly appreciated MATTHEW, the front desk clerk who came right away to my room to figure out why I couldnt get the TV to work. I will certainly return.

5 /5 Janis Rebecca: A nice "old-school" type of hotel/motel, there was a 70s or 80s feel about it and in a good way! . The staff were friendly and polite, the room we had was spacious and clean. We had our supper from the Grouse Nest, which is the hotels own restaurant. My grilled cheese sandwich was out of this world delicious!!

3 /5 Kristy Hernandez: I booked this property because I had kids with me and the mention of the large pool was enticing. The pool was great, the downsides were..pool.closed at 10 pm, although the water was heated the pool area itself was very chilly and very dark. I also assumed that this property would have a hot tub, it has one that is not operable so that was a huge dissapointment. The property is advertised as having an on site resteraunt the other reason I chose this property as I coukd get the kids dinner quick and not waste their pool time. To our dissapointment the resteraunts kitchen was closed at 630 when I called to order..had to order food out and it was not as convenient. Also property is advertised as made to order breakfast included from the resteraunt from 6 am to 10, this was not the case the very limited continental breakfast had hard boiled eggs yogurt bread waffles. Breakfast was dissapointing I had a type 1 dm child with me and not a lot of options..not even sugar free syrup. It was over all decent but for the price Id have chosen a different property and enjoyed the hot tub and 24 hour coffee cocoa and the hot tub. Id stay again if I didnt have another option but if I had to choose, id choose the other property in area with the added amenities at a more affordable price.
