Hotel's Favorite
This hotel is such a great place to stay, it's close to everything and it's comforting to be there, the accomodations are great and the people are wonderful, If I could buy a room there I would, after 38 times staying there I still don't want to leave.

When my wife and I stay in Altoona we always stay at the Hampton Inn. Clean comfortable rooms, friendly staff, good television coverage and good breakfast. When you have a long drive you want a comfortable, clean and quiet room and that is exactly what we find every time we check in.

The Hampton Inn Altoona has been my go to hotel for years when traveling to Altoona on military business. This hotel is in a perfect location and is easily accessible from the main road. There are two restaurants adjacent to the hotel in addition to a mall across the street. Most importantly this property is very clean and comfortable. However, the my last two stays hit a snag when I presented a tax exempt form. Last month when I presented the form, the gentlemen at the front desk wouldn’t accept the form even though I provided him with a copy of my travel orders. That said, I was able to turn in the form the next morning to the young lady at the front desk and the taxes were taken off. During my most recent stay this past week, I again presented a tax exempt form and offered to provide a copy of my travel orders. I was told the only way I could use the tax exempt form is if I was paying with a government credit card. I’ve been traveling on official military business for over 20 years and I never has this issue at any hotel to include this one. When traveling on official business I use my personal credit card to build my airline miles as a well as my Hilton Honors points. I conveyed this to the young lady at the desk and she reluctantly took the form. However, when I checked out using my Hilton app, the receipt emailed to me still had the taxes present. I called the hotel to rectify this situation and I was told it would immediately be taken care of and I would be emailed a new receipt, well this never happened. I called again the next day and I was told the correction couldn’t be made and I would need to speak to the GM. I was patched thru to his voicemail but I admittedly just hung up the phone. I would rather eat the $10 than split hairs by going back and forth over something I never had an issue with in the past at any hotel to include Hilton brands or this particular property until my past two visits. One would likely ask why I rated this place 4/5 after the issues I had. That said, it’s rather simple...this is a very nice hotel and would have undoubtedly received a 5/5 had I not experienced the tax exempt form issue.

Dear pghsoldier, I appreciate the kind comments about our hotel, its employees and your stay. I apologize that you and I were not able to discuss the situation while you where staying at the hotel. I understand the frustration and did not mean to cause any undue stress for you while you where traveling. In the Commonwealth of PA you must be traveling and using a valid government issued method of payment, along with a valid tax exempt form to receive tax exempt status. The fact that you have your paperwork "orders" is awesome but you were not paying with a government issued method of payment, that is always the issue. I will touch base with our accounting team at our management company support office on Monday to see what if anything we can do to offer you the exemption based on having your orders and the tax exempt form. I will reach out to you and let you know what the decision is. Again I apologize for this situation and I wish you and your family a wonderful summer season. All my best, Jeffrey Cipriani General Manager Hampton In Altoona

First and foremost, I would like to say that what made this Hampton Inn experience amazing was Sheryl at the front desk. We almost always choose Hampton Inn, because across-the-board, the quality is usually very good, and we know what to expect when we check in to a Hampton Inn. this Hampton Inn, in particular exceeded our expectations for cleanliness and service, but again Sheryl made it feel like we were the only people she had checked in and made sure there was nothing she could possibly do to make our stay better after a very long day. Kudos to this Hampton Inn…I hope you value the employees that keep it running smoothly and with all the key elements the hospitality industry should include and value.

Very friendly staff and everything seemed very clean. The room was a bit worn looking but beds were comfortable and we were still happy with the stay. Our sink didn’t drain well and the toilet seat was loose but we only stayed one night so I just told the front desk when we were leaving and they seemed to be eager to get it fixed. Not sure why housekeeping wouldn’t mention these things to the front desk but minor annoyances. We traveled with cats and it was no problem getting a room that was pet friendly.

We had a great stay at the Hampton Inn hotel in Altoona, PA. All the staff were very nice and friendly. Had a great conversation with Jeff who was mopping the floor in the dining area, and Tracey was so thoughtful to check up on us during breakfast making sure everything was okay. Speaking of breakfast, we really enjoyed the buffet and they even had it ready by 5 or 5:30 in the morning! (Breakfast is until 10 am). Our room and the bed was so comfortable. (We got a king room with pull out sofa). My daughter enjoyed swimming with her friend in the pool. The location of the hotel is convenient too — so close to Cracker Barrel, Champs and the Mall. There are also many restaurants and shops close by too. I felt at home at the Hampton Inn hotel in Altoona and hope to return again soon. =) There’s a good vibe in this particular hotel, and l highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place to stay in Altoona.

From before check in to check in to check out the staff was phenomenal. I felt valued as a Diamond member which is rare most my stays nobody acknowledges it, but Brett did. My kids made a little mess an he peacefully just came over an helped by picking it up. Brett at check-in was amazing. Stephanie helped me so much before check in my stay wouldn’t have been possible without her help. I truly thank you Stephanie. Victoria was amazing with every encounter my family had with her. I asked for wash cloths on my way out for the day and forgot to grab them once I came back later on at night. She called me the next morning since she noticed I never picked them up an had them brought up to me, which was so helpful and much appreciated. My kids went to pick up tissue at the front while she was on shift an she gave them coloring books and stickers without them asking and my kids couldn’t stop raving about how wonderfully nice she was. Day of check out they went down to get hot chocolate and she took the cutest selfies of them. Top teir customer service all around. Breakfast was great and plenty of options. Room was clean an smelled fresh. Perfect stay an I will be back soon.

This hotel is one of the best in Altoona. Good location and easy to get in and out. It was very clean throughout. They have adapted the Continental Breakfast for Covid. Expect for Hot Eggs & Fresh Fruit (apples were individually wrapped) they nailed it.

Pillows smelled like armpit. Mold everywhere in shower. Slop and stains on the desk chair. Breakfast was ok. Some items that should have been cold we're not. Fair assortment. Coffee was empty 2 mornings when I mentioned it the woman just grabbed the pot and walked away. Big bummer
