I go to Altoona several times a year to attend Altoona Curve baseball games. My first time trying the Altoona Grand was a great experience. The hotel is clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. The on site restaurant and bar was a nice touch as well. We enjoyed some good food and drinks after the game. The staff were all friendly and willing to help. I will be sure to book again the next time I go back to Altoona.

We have stayed here several times and always enjoyed it. This time tho the room wasn’t the neatest and the restaurant was supposed to be open till 10 on Sunday but it was closed when we got there at 6. Disappointed because they have such good food. Otherwise a great stay.

Overall, property was good. Quiet time was excellent, because walls are thin. Mattresses are due for replacement, wall tile, caulking in bathrooms could use a little updating, overall I would book again.
