Great place to stay when looking for an overnight stay after a Penn State football game. 30 minutes from State College, and an easy drive. The best thing about this place is the price. As most hotels from Altoona to State College inflate their prices for home games, the ‘Curve’ maintains their low prices. As described by other reviews, the place is a bit dated including the bathrooms, but they are in process of renovating them. So this should improve.

The staff was very nice. The front desk manager, Tommy, was very accomodating. We arrived late after the Penn State vs Oregon football game and he waited for our arrival which was after checking in time. Joanna, our housekeeper, was friendly. Our room was not renovated at this time. The tv was very good and we appreciated the refrigerator with freezer for our perishable food. One negative that we experienced was that our toilet did not efficiently flush. We only stayed one night, so this was not a major issued with us. We reported the deficiency so that it can be addressed appropriately. We slept comfortably. we felt that this property was a great value for the price. We will stay in this property in the future. The owner is in the process of renovating the property and will improve the antiquated look of the rooms. We thought that the room was very clean and was smoke free which were important features for us.

Terrible experience

There was no one available at the front desk and no one was answering the phone calls so we couldn’t check-in and we had to leave the property without even checking-in in the middle of the night. It was a terrible experience. We never saw a hotel without a front desk person. I would advise no one should book this hotel for their trips.

So so

Door card didn't work, twice. Ice machine broken. Sign said, "See front office for ice". Went to front office, no ice there either.Had to make another trip for ice. Tried to log on to two servers labeled HCL.(Horse Shoe Lodge?). No good. Called front office, they said log on to Econolodge. Could have told me that at check in. Little things. But simple things that should be standard. After a long day of travel and work, I just want to check in, log on, and enjoy an ice cold beverage without issue.

I went in January of 2025. It was very cold and apparently the doors and keys were not working as they were frozen due to the coldness. They gave me a key to one room and it did not work. They said maintenance changed door locks so they programmed the key again from a different room for original room I was given and it still did not work. Finally, after saying I wanted my money back and I did not want to stay there they told me 7-10 business days to get a refund and gave me a different room that did work but it took me 2 times to push the door open. Afterwards it worked well. I was only there 1 night as it was just a stop for me. I did not use the shower or tub so I can’t comment on that. The sink was good with warm running water. The tv was analog so it was very fuzzy. I had to use my phone for movies. The microwave worked fine. The refrigerator felt too warm and I did not know which way to put the dial so I just used the freezer. Then defrosted my food in the microwave. The bed was ok. I slept but not overly great of course I have been to other hotels and some are equal and some are more comfortable. That’s hit or miss. The room was comfortable it had heat but it was automatic so when it went low it got cold quickly and the heat kept going on and off as it adjusted. I personally would only stay there again unless you want a cheap overnight stay. Take an extra blanket if you go in the winter months.

The front desk staff was extremely accommodating around our unique schedule due to a wedding venue. The facility is in need of updating, but the bathroom was clean, water pressure excellent. Room did have a slight odor to it, carpet had some stains. Overall it suited our needs for just a quick overnight stay.

Temper your expectations, and it's fine

It's fine for the price. Very no frills, and don't trust to get much on the TV, but if all you need is a place to crash for a day or two, it works.
