We especially liked the indoor pool and the complimentary breakfast in the morning which included hot food such as waffles eggs and home fries as well as coffee and juice and water with ice. The location was great and right in the middle of lots of shopping and restaurants. The staff was friendly and the hotel was clean.

After just being in NYC and DC we loved the quiet and peaceful in Altoona. People are genuinely nice and friendly. It’s beautiful and far from the crowd, not much happenings but definitely a good place to detox. We came to stay overnight on our drive to Niagara Falls. All of us loved the atmosphere here and we didn’t want to move on! You will find yourself back here!

Very nice place to stay. The beds were very comfortable. The indoor pool area is nice, and they had a decent breakfast in the morning. The food from the bar/restaurant was pretty good as well. Very nice atmosphere. Looking forward to staying again next time I'm in Altoona.

Nothing great about this hotel at all!
Nothing great about this hotel at all! First off you charge double for a graduation weekend for a hotel that is the worst I've ever stayed in. Our room was suppose to be non -smoking but reeked of smoke and marijuana upon entering. The recliner that was in the room was odd and was dirty! Sheets were stained. Air conditioning did not work. Don't stay here if there are other options available.

We were in Altoona one night, so take that for what it’s worth. It seems like any other blue collar town in that part of the country. Staff at the hotel were very nice. The hotel was okay for an overnight stay. There was nice little mall across the street and a Champs and Cracker Barrel across the parking lot.
We decided to get food and drinks within walking distance of the hotel, so went to Champs next door. We’ve never been in one, so we weren’t sure what to expect. It’s a typical locals hang out. It seemed popular.
The next morning we skipped the continental breakfast at the hotel and went to Cracker Barrel. The food was good, but our waitress was pretty rude. I know that’s not a reflection of the town, but it seemed much of the staff at that store were rude and short with people. It was crowded though. People seem to still be milking the “mediocrity is okay because of COVID” excuse.
Anyway, Altoona appears to be a safe mellow place to stop when you are traveling. I watched a couple YT videos about the town before traveling. Altoona has an interesting history, and is oddly scenic as is much of that part of PA. I think if U lived in Altoona, I’d move.

We came to Altoona as railfans, and as such the Town and the region is a must see. We came principally to see a particular locomotive parked in front of the Juniata Shops, everything else was a bonus really. The Railway Museum was actually much better than the slightly dated exhibits portend. The interactive exhibits using actors in films in period settings, was really engaging to me and interesting, tho they really need to update the media technology and about 20% of the interactive exhibits did not seem to be working. The actors in the films were really good. I liked the exhibit's particular use of personal histories and anecdotes. The collection of actually trains is a little sad, as they clearly haven't the budget to actual restore anything. Most of their collections is wasting away badly (decay is fortunately interesting to me). If you're looking for restored or preserved trains, I would say there are much better collections. As a survey of Altoona's great railway history, however, it was fascinating historical study in American Capitalism. That all said, I really enjoyed the museum, and i think the entrance fee was worth it. Note that you can also do some great railfanning from the parking lot. Obviously, the horseshoe curve is another must-see, and is a beautiful natural heritage site, in its own right. Probably a much better experience in warmer weather. Altoona is a great Railfanning experience and also good for American historians.
the room was small and a little out of date. Could have been cleaned better there were white crumbs all over the floor when I arrived I’m not sure what it was. But the staff at the front desk were super nice. the breakfast was okay the only thing we ate were the waffles and apple juice. laundry is 1.50 to wash and 1$ to dry which isn’t bad either and the price for 2 nights was good. overall this hotel was just what I needed for the 2 days I stayed in Altoona the only complaint was a dirty refrigerator and the floors not being vacuumed.
Hotel staff was so nice, rooms were clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed the man working the front desk at approximately 9 PM on Monday, August 23, 2021. He was pleasant and had a nice way of making us feel welcomed. My 11 yr daughter & I were on the last night of our long weekend get-away to visit southwestern PA and where I attended college at Saint Francis University of Loretto, PA. We are from the metro west area of Boston. We would definitely stay again at this hotel when visiting southwestern PA!
Staff was amazing, hotel facilities and our room was super clean, bed was super comfy and this made my wife and I very happy. The location to the event we attended work out really well for us. The breakfast was hot and the staff kept filling anything that was running low. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone that is staying in the area. I rate it a #10.
Great location, close to the shops and eateries.
Comfy rooms, breakfast has a nice choice and 24/7 coffee is a great bonus. All staff friendly and happy to help, a couple of minor issues in our room but both were rectified immediately and one was on a Sunday. Looking forward to staying again next time we are in Altoona

The hotel was great, it's in a fairly quiet area. The pool was nice. Breakfast was good. The woman at the front desk, Janelle, was fantastic. She was helpful, friendly, enthusiastic. She deserves a raise.
Pool was great; Breakfast was very good ( a great addition would be raisins for the oatmeal); easy access to all parts of Altoona and highways were convenient; nice parking lot; comfortable beds;
Everything, from the cleanliness, staff, decor, breakfast, multiple elevators, convenient parking, wonderful walk in shower was great. This Wingate in Altoona, PA is a wonderful place to stay.
The staff were friendly, the room comfortable and clean. The location excellent and parking at the hotel was free and plentiful.
We didn't use any facilities.
Loved the microwave and fridge!
1 night stay. Didn't use the pool or take advantage of the free breakfast. The room was nice, and it was clean. Staff were friendly. Plenty of parking. And, the hotel bar was very nice.
Its clearly a newer hotel, reception said to me 2016 and it still has that feel. bed was great, facilities and wifi and quiet I would happily stay there again.
The room was in a quiet place and the room was warm being it was cold outside. Like staying here cause they are one of the only hotels that have smoking rooms.
