We choose Quality Inn because it was a one night stay during a long road trip. We wanted an affordable quick stay. They serve a free breakfast which the only complaint we had were the eggs were still cold.

The Quality Inn in Altoona is just fine for a modestly priced hotel whether you need a quick stopover or perhaps visiting Adventureland. Staff were friendly and efficient. Furniture in the room was a bit weathered, but the bed was super comfortable with fresh coverings.

Could have been better
The breakfast ran out of eggs and low on potatoes both days. The 2nd day they had to come fix television because it had been disconnected. The check-in gentleman was very helpful.
