The darkness of windows, beds comfort able staff friendly
They put us on an outdated room. Also maid service should come daily for garbage and towels.

Nice
Only thing was the parking lot is small.
They where sold out. We had to park by the storage containers. In the morning we noticed the van by us was gone and our driver side door had a fairly good dent in it.

Easy check in. Our room was quiet and the bed comfortable.
The room seemed a little outdated, the furniture was scratched up and the carpet looked pretty much at the end of its life cycle.

10.0 / 10.0
STAFF: So very kind and helpful right from the start. Easy pre-check in made it much quicker to get our room key.
ROOM: Very clean and a great value. Ugly carpet is about the only negative I have for our entire stay. Microwave, mini fridge, coffee maker, hair dryer and the usual toiletries. Excellent maid service! So sweet and helpful.
THE POOL: It bears repeating.
THE POOL: It's an adult-who-suffers-from-joint-pain's dream. Salt water as warm as a bathtub. Only thing missing is the Calgon. It's a small pool but not too small to have fun. Goes to 5 ft and has steps for old people like me.
BREAKFAST: Pretty typical hotel fare except that it was fully stocked and immaculate and one of the many staff members was there being helpful and attentive. They have a Jetson's style pancake maker that was really cool. You can watch the machine make and cook you 2 perfect cakes and drop them on your plate. They also have a big pot of oats with toppings including sliced almonds. So good.
In conclusion, my kids/grandkids moved to Iowa a few years back and I've finally found my go to hotel. Fantastic stay!
Seriously just the carpet and they're clearly working on the place so that will be of the past eventually

1.0 / 10.0
The location was great, that is the reason that we chose the hotel.
Our party stayed at the Best Western in Altoona, close to Adventureland. It was me, my 2 adult girls and 4 grandkids. Thankfully, the kids wanted to stay in my room, because my grown daughters stayed in a room by themselves and woke up to a strange man standing in their room smiling at them. My oldest daughter demanded to know what he was doing and how he got in their room and he told them he was doing room checks (at 10:00 at night). We had to file a police report, the manager at the hotel was never available to speak to us, instead he sent us a check for the room. Very shady and unsafe!!

Bathroom sink was nice for my husband as he is almost 6 feet tall. I liked the look of the bathroom sink and counter top in there.
Computer didn’t work- not enough room in dining area and food offered was subpar. Had a dirty towel in bathroom and it looked like someone wiped their butt on it. Pillows were lumpy and bed was not comfortable.
