We road trip to Myrtle Beach every other year give or take, and always stay here on the way back to recharge the batteries and finish thr drive the next day. This is our fifth time here and the hotel is just as good as it was the first time. Excellent place, clean and great staff. Good optiona for food in the area (i reccomend Primanti bros) we will always stay here anytime we pass through Altoona!

My family and I (4 adults, 2 kids) had a queen suite for a Thursday-Monday stay. The facility is in decent shape and definitely looked nice when we first got there. As the days went on, it was obvious there is a housekeeping problem--none of the communal trash cans were emptied the entire time we were there. There were cans at each floor by the elevator and they were overflowing. The second floor smelled so bad from old food stuffed in the cans and sitting on top of it as well. We even tried to take our trash to the outside cans (we had diapers and other food items, so not something you'd want sitting in the room) but they were worse. We ended up taking our trash with us to other stores or to the relatives we were visiting. I understand that they have cut back on housekeeping in the rooms for once every three days, but the communal cans should be changed at least daily. The other issue was the breakfast. I don't typically complain because breakfast is what it is, but for how busy it was, it seemed like all of the food was empty and guests just standing around waiting for food. Not ideal for a family of young children to have to wait for food to even be on the line. We ended up going elsewhere for breakfast after the second morning.

We were able to check in a little after noon, hotel is comfortable. Has free cold water and coffee 24/7 in the lobby. Breakfast was okay, but the beds were soft, fluffy and we slept good! Pool wasn’t heated though.
