    Comfortable and Clean Stay with Minor Hiccups

    We enjoyed our weekend getaway with a spacious and clean Queen room. The direct access to the casino added convenience for our group, and we appreciated the added security measures like key access to the elevators. However, the long walks to access amenities could be improved, especially for guests with mobility issues.

    spacious rooms
    beautiful lobby
    integrated casino
    limited dining

    Spacious rooms with excellent cleanliness stand out, providing a comfortable space for relaxation. The integrated casino adds an exciting element, while the beautiful lobby creates a welcoming atmosphere right from the moment you enter.

    While the swimming pool looks inviting, its small size may not meet expectations for families wanting to swim and play. The lack of diverse dining options can be a letdown, especially for those hoping to find more than just basic fare. Guests should also anticipate longer walks to certain rooms, which might feel inconvenient after a long day.

    The room featured a luxurious large glass shower that provided a refreshing experience.

    I found the dining options quite limited, which could be improved for better variety.

    The room was super spacious and had air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, and a coffee machine. I loved the modern bathroom with a shower and hidden hairdryer. The staff were friendly, and the housekeeping kept everything so clean. The well-maintained spa facilities were a nice touch, too.

    slow service

    The room was exceptionally spacious and impressively clean, providing a comfortable environment for my work conference. The large glass shower in the bathroom was a welcome luxury after long hours of travel. Moreover, the keycard access to the elevators added an extra layer of security, ensuring that only guests could access the room hallways. The staff was consistently friendly and attentive, making my stay enjoyable.

    The dining options could be improved.

    missing amenities
    long walks
    limited facilities

    The check-in process involved a screening and a wristband, but I found it surprising that basic items like toilet paper and a remote for the TV were missing in the room. It required a long trek back to reception for replacements, which could have been addressed more efficiently. Additionally, it was disappointing to discover that many amenities, including the pool and fitness room, were closed without prior notice. On a positive note, the grilled meat served at the restaurant was delicious.

    It was a decent option for a short interlude in Altoona with incredible value for money. The staff quickly accommodated our room request on the 2nd floor, which was great for my father in a wheelchair. Be sure to pack your walking shoes if you're planning to hit the casino and racetrack.

    indoor racing seating
    limited children's activities

    We enjoyed our stay with the kids! The buffet offered a great deal, especially with the $10 off for cardholders. We also loved the variety of free beverages available. Plus, the indoor seating for live horse racing was a fun experience for everyone.

    My kids wished there were more kid-friendly activities available.

    comfy room
    delicious breakfast

    Casino lovers will enjoy it

    The room was very clean and comfy, and the staff were friendly and helpful—truly impressive for a casino hotel not in Vegas. I was blown away by the Café downstairs, delicious breakfast food with great service, I mean steak and eggs, can't beat that!

    It wasn’t exactly cheap but still acceptable.
