That were friendly and left us check in early cause we were attending a concert.
I understand running out of breakfast but the gal working in the breakfast area obviously had issues helping or answering questions. The pancakes were empty and she looked at me and said it’s working and walked away. It was out and when she came back to the area about 5 minutes later and seen me still waiting for the pancakes she said were coming out she changed the bag. I asked about gravy and she was just snotty. Being out is one thing but her being so rude was terrible.

The beds....I need one in my house. I've never slept better. Great breakfast in the morning, quiet for being near the interstate. Plenty of parking and quite a few restaurants located nearby.
Unfortunately we were there when a baseball team was. We wanted to use the pool and hot tub, but the boys in there were using it as areas to throw a football to each other. Not the hotels fault at all though.

Loved the cleanliness of the hotel. The rooms were clean, spacious & comfortable. The walls seemed pretty soundproof. Breakfast was amazing with lots of choices. The pool was nice. Staff was very welcoming & pleasant.
I wish they offered more channels on the TV. I wish the hot tub was a little bigger.

Breakfast was plentiful with a good variety. Front desk staff was accommodating after learning we had booked a Holiday Express in Altoona, PA. Close to Adventureland and many restaurants.

Quiet, warm pool, good breakfast
Elevator broke last day of stay on third floor. Medical issues made climbing stairs difficult.

Very kind staff. The woman at the front desk is a gem. I had a great food recommendation from her!
The breakfast was not terrific but I didn’t expect it to be! Hotel breakfasts are almost always cold eggs.
