I like the sit down areas they have all through the hotel and the scenery. The only thing I didn’t like is that the hot tub was down and that’s my favorite thing about that place but other than that everything was great.

I typically stay here on my way home from Penn State Football games. This is an older property but they have made significant improvements. I noticed that the rooms have been remodeled on my last few visits. I will continue to stay here in the future. Many dining options nearby.

Easy check in/out. Clean room. Biggest complaint was breakfast was served until 10, but we came at 9 and they had no food left and wouldn’t bring any more out. So much for a free breakfast included. Unless you wanted oatmeal or yogurt, you were out of luck. Otherwise was great.

The rooms, buildings and hallways are very old and outdated. Bathroom fixtures may have been clean but don’t appear to be clean because of their age, rust and paint condition.

Front desk and meals were great! Very friendly and welcoming staff. Really good food and breakfast is more than just a continental breakfast. Room bathroom is outdated but clean. Bed was extremely hard.

The hotel was a bit like a time warp from the 80's, which was just fine for me haha. Breakfast was just okay, but good enough. The only issue I really had was with the fitness center (which I get the feeling doesn't get used much). It needed towels, something to clean the equipment with, and a yoga or stretching mat (I had to use the floor). Other than that, the staff were so helpful and just lovely.
