I’ve stayed at the Altoona Marriott Courtyard a dozen plus times over the past few years and always found it good value, very clean and well managed. Last evening I stayed for the first time since the recent renovation’s completion and have a few observations. (I’d stayed there twice during the protracted renovation, and was anxious to see the result... More

Thank you for your review and your loyalty to our hotel memjfm1! We appreciate your repeat business and wish you had been in town for our renovation celebration. I’m sorry to hear you don’t enjoy Marriott’s new Bistro concept, I’m sure that because it’s new, Marriott will use valuable feedback from guests such as yourself to make enhancements in the... More

Overall, standard chain hotel with lobby upgrade including touch screen tv computer for local area info. Where things go wrong, as a business traveler, is with the food. Instead of a buffet breakfast, its a $9 two eggs with toast and frozen butter mess. Now, perspective is such that weekenders have time for this (I went back to my room... More

Thanks very much for your business and review ms9, we appreciate your feedback. Marriott is in the process of transitioning all Courtyards away from the buffet breakfast to the new Bistro where breakfast and dinner can be ordered a la carte. I feel badly that your breakfast took so long to prepare, please accept my apologies for the delay. I... More

I went through Priceline and was so excited that they had upgraded me from my 2* selection to this 3* hotel. It seemed to offer everything I was looking for for a relaxing 3 day stay in Altoona. (April 3-5). It was advertised as having a restaurant, bar/lounge, indoor pool and hot tub and a gym. When I arrived, I... More

Dear Carol-inNJ, I’m sorry you found your stay with us disappointing. I hope that Priceline didn’t mislead you about the type of service a Courtyard offers as opposed to a full service Marriott, where you will find a concierge, full service restaurant and separate bar, along with a larger fitness area. The offerings of a Courtyard are scaled down by... More

This was a last-minute trip over Easter weekend (April 7-8). We took a chance with Priceline, and we were put at the Courtyard by Marriott. We were so lucky! Fantastic staff (EVERYONE), super clean, very pretty rooms, sparkling clean public areas. We couldn't have asked for more. Unfortunately we probably won't be back, but that's only because my daughter is... More

Construction is complete and everything is very nice. Staff and service was excellent for the entire stay. The small restaurant and bar in hotel was convenient and good, service was outstanding.

We have stayed at several other motels here and didn't know about this motel but they are very nice. Even though there is construction going on we are very pleased with the room. Compared to the other choices I would definitely come back. More

First off, they are under construction and will be for the next 6 weeks. For the trouble, they are offering free breakfast and cocktails, but to be honest, I would prefer telling us before we booked and giving a discount on the rooms. Some staff are friendly, others obviously did not want to be there. Desk clerk told us the... More
