"Good value for price"

Comfort Suites Altoona North

8/10 Good

"The hotel is fine. The coffee tasted like the machine was dirty inside. It was terrible. The young lady at the front desk, whom I believe is Cassie, was an absolute delight. She was very. Professional and seemed to actually care about our stay. That young lady is an asset do your hotel. The room was nice and claim. Although both the toilet handle and the bathroom sink faucet handle were loose, and I was afraid they were going to fall off. They did not, but room 212 needs a little bit of care. All it all our stay was just fine."

10/10 Excellent

"There were 10 of us. 2 Grandparents, 2 Parents, and 6 grandkids, teens & early 20's. We were only here for a short overnight & really did not get to experience all the wonderful amenities. The cousins loved the bunkroom & gameroom & the parents & grandparents appreciated the rooms on the 3rd floor away from the noise:). All agreed we want to return & stay longer.All the amenity, cleanliness & communication expectations were met.Thanks for a great stay."
