Top Monroe Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham Altoona

8/10 Good

"The hotel was within a mile of many eating places. The hotel was clean and well maintained. The indoor heated swimming pool was great and the quick breakfast was good. The air conditioning was nice and quiet. The room had a microwave, coffee maker with coffee making supplies, and a refrigerator which I used. There was also a hair dryer and ample soap and toiletries provided. The room also had a iron and ironing board in the closet and a stand to hold my suitcase. There was a nice comfortable chair and foot rest in the room. The internet wifi was quite fast. During the two days I stayed at this motel there were almost constant thunderstorms with frequent lightning and several inches of rain. The storms kept interrupting the direct TV stations so the TV was not very functional during the storms. The Bathroom tub was very slippery and there was no plug for the tub drain to take a bath. The shower worked great though and there were ample towels and unending hot water. There was also lots of available free parking in the motel parking lot."
