Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
It was close to the town. The room was decent. The treatment at the dining room extremely horrible the Jamaican breakfast poor choice and quality. For 15.00 1 small fried dumpling, small green banana and teaspoon of callaloo or salt mackerel. Tea was so small and cold. The service lacked enthusiasm. asked for a second cup of tea and was told you have to pay for it. Better off getting your breakfast elsewhere. This place use to be better and quality of food and portion better stay away from ALTAMONTE WEST

The staff was wonderful and always accommodating. The decor is unique and the rooms are clean and comfortable with a nice tv for nights in. This was my second stay here and will be going back in 4 months! The best part about the Altamont is the location. Easily walk the hip strip or to downtown MB. Would recommend! 10/10!
