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.

Very close to the Prairie Meadows Convention center. McDonalds, Taco Bell, Perkins were very close, within walking distance. The man at the front desk was really nice, and made us feel at home.

Quality Inn's are hit and miss for property quality. This one was mid/below average. The exterior looked very worn, so did hallways inside. The pool was an odd color - couldn't see the bottom of it and it was only 3' deep. The rooms looked better than other areas. It is a lower price for a reason, too, so for the money it was slightly lower than expected.
