great spots for weekend strolls and park views nearby

We stayed here for one night and I loved the short walk to Prairie Meadows Racetrack and the beautiful Mally's Weh-Weh-Neh-Kee Park, ideal for a relaxing afternoon stroll between landmarks and green spaces.

We had a fantastic time at Adventureland Inn! The location is perfect, just minutes away from all the attractions. The double room we stayed in was spacious and comfortable, and we loved the cozy ambiance. The indoor pool area was a hit with our kids. they had endless fun splashing around!

Jethro n' Jake's Smokehouse Steaks was a total score – their sandwiches packed a flavor punch that'll make you want to return for more. Plus, the friendly service was the cherry on top of our stay! The indoor pool area was a hit with my kids, and we had loads of towels ready for us.

The air conditioner clicked all night, sounding like a door creaking open. Added to that, the toilet felt wobbly, propped up on a plastic thing—just a tad sketchy!

The layout of some poolside rooms can be disruptive, as guests frequently pass by on their way to the pool area. The lack of a microwave and dresser in the room makes for some awkward moments with kids and luggage. Not to mention, the hot tub can get a bit chaotic with noisy kids jumping in, which might not appeal to those looking for a relaxing soak after a day at the park.

Family looking for a fun time

So, my son had a blast at the pool, both of them actually, especially the swim-up bar where we could chill a bit while he played. And the employees were decent and gave us a good vibe, helping us with whatever we needed during our stay.

It wasn't exactly a bargain, but considering the perks, it was still acceptable.

The pools are a lot of fun for kids, especially the kiddie pool area. Our room had cleanliness issues, and the staff often seemed overwhelmed.

I appreciated the spacious Double Room we stayed in, providing ample space to move around comfortably. The staff was incredibly friendly, always offering assistance with a warm smile, which made our stay even more enjoyable.

More maintenance needed in common areas.

Great staff, but rooms need love

We had a nice stay for 4 nights. Super friendly and accommodating! The kids enjoyed the pool and arcade, but wow, the rooms felt dated. There was no microwave, and the sofa bed was pretty uncomfortable. Breakfast at the bar was decent, though.

I had a great time at this hotel during our recent stay in altoona. The indoor pool area was perfect for my kids, and we really appreciated the friendly staff who were always willing to help. It exceeded my expectations for a family getaway.

the hot tub water was murky.

great fun for families with nice pools

Enjoyed the pools, but dirtiness was upsetting.

Family Fun with Room for Improvement

We enjoyed the spacious Double Room with Pool View! The kids loved the arcade and pool, but the late check-in restricted pool time. Pro tip, inquire about attractions opening hours beforehand to maximize fun. Consider early check-in for a smoother experience.

It was a smart choice for a brief visit in Altoona with value for money. The indoor pool with a swim-up bar was a hit with the kids. Be prepared for noise, especially if your room faces the pool.
