"We had a nice stay. It's close to our favorite bbq place here in town. Elevators were our of service and they found a room on the first floor for us since we had a full car from our road trip to unload in and out of the room. With my husbands sciatica in his leg, we appreciated not having to climb stairs several times to bring things in and out of our car."

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Altoona

If you're looking to travel to Altoona on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $65. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $120. Staying a short amount of time in Altoona is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.
When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Altoona, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.
When booking cheap hotel rooms in Altoona, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.
When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Altoona, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Anniversary weekend

"We had a wonderful night celebrating our anniversary here. The room was perfect. Only complaint we had was the bed was firmer than we like. It was fairly quiet for a Saturday night with young football players as guest and it seemed pretty packed. "

"The Des Lux was a really cool boutique hotel. The martini bar in the lobby was nice (a little pricey) but the lobby was unique and fun. The breakfast was substantial and had so many choices, we felt as if we were at an “All-inclusive”. Parking was easy and convenient, cost is $10.00 a day, room was spacious and comfortable. The hot tub was very nice, along with a fantastic steam room and sauna. This hotel is just all around, very neat and worth a try. Oh, also, plenty of fantastic restaurants within walking distance. "
