My family stayed there on July 30 and July 31. We were quoted $89 per night. When we arrived and checked in, the price went to $119 + tax per night because it was the weekend. Fast forward to August 27 and 28. Rates have increased to a whopping $189 per night! The HIGHEST rates in the area. We were regulars but now will go elsewhere. Hilton rates in a dated renovated HoJo just doesn't make any sense. Avoid this place if you can.

The worse hotel I have ever stood at!!! Rooms are filthy and to make matters worse are bed bug infected. My daughter was laying on the bed when she saw a bed bug crawling on her. Thank God we realized before we spent the night. Do not waste your money staying here. The higher ups are aware of their bed bug infestation and continue to book these rooms. This place is unsanitary and needs to be CLOSED DOWN!!! Shame on you for allowing this to continue and rebooking these rooms with no care in the world.

If I could give zero stars, I would. We booked Altoona Grand Hotel for nine nights. I am sitting writing this after five nights. The room has been serviced once. I have called numerous times and been twice to the front desk (the housekeeping line is never picked up) and basically they say they'll speak with housekeeping and then nothing happens. I asked one of the housekeepers who was cleaning another room if she could clean our rooms (we have two rooms). She told me that they were instructed to get rooms that were being emptied by leaving guests ready for the next guests and not to do remaining guests' rooms unless the housekeepers had time. I guess they never have time. Today we ran out of toilet paper in both rooms and don't have any clean towels (the same housekeeper told me just to throw soiled towels into the hallway and they'd pick them up!). Am going to move to a different hotel for remaining time in Altoona - anything will be better than this.

Hot tub was closed due to covid. Room was very clean and smelled nice. Bed was not very comfortable and I woke up wanting to go straight to my chiropractor. Pool was nice, but a ton of screaming kids put a damper on that.

Spent the weekend visiting family in Altoona. The first night we stayed at the Quality Inn and suites which has a 2.5 star rating. It was clean, updated and had fantastic customer service( not to mention a big tv, plush thick towels, and cold water bottles already in the fridge!). The only thing about the room that annoyed me was the directv remote wasn't programmed to the T.V (probably an easy fix...i just didn't really wanna mess with it at 9pm.) The second night we figured we would go for the 3.5 star that is the Altoona Grand and live it up a little. Worst idea ever! Upon check-in we smelled the pungent aroma of the chlorine everyone has mentioned on here already. A little heady but not the end of the world for sure. At this point we were still optimistic....Until we got into the room. It was bad. It was REAL BAD. Paint peeling, beat-up gouged furniture, stained and worn carpet,cracked sink in bathroom, and just to top it off it had a super small T.V and thin crappy towels that wouldn't wrap around my 8 year old, let alone a grown adult. All my Hopes and dreams for a super nice room quickly went down the drain of their circa 1950s beat up bathtub. Our first impression on the cleanliness of the room was it wasn't up to the standards of the Quality Inn by any means but it was manageable if not a tad grungy....that all changed the next morning. Buckle up boys and girls this is where the 1- star fun begins. The next morning before check out we were doing the obligatory double check of the room that all parents do when traveling with children to locate any stray shoe/toy. Upon flinging a comforter back to observe along one of the beds, lo and behold something skittered out from by bed all the way across the room to the front door with my 8 yr old son running behind it screaming " WHAT IS IT!!". Pandemonium ensued. Now most people are going to be guessing it's a mouse...and you would be wrong...its worse...so much worse...it was a SEX TOY left by a previous guest! Cue 2 frantic parents trying to redirect an 8 yr old from swooping up the forgot purple treasure and getting herpes hands. Even stranger was the pistachio shells that were also not cleaned up accompanying the toy. Housekeeping in definitely lacking if BIG item like these are being missed. So much for any extra cleaning or sanitizing as preventative measures in the midst of a pandemic. Do yourself a favor and learn from our mistake and pick any other hotel to stay at. Chances are I contracted something from this room and am going to quarentine myself now....whether it the Corona virus or an STD is yet to be seen.
