Rory in the front desk was very friendly. She gave us a great location to order brick oven pizza. Our room was comfy and clean. Breakfast was great!! We are definitely staying here again! We especially loved the hot cocoa and tea area in the front lobby.
Staff was incredibly nice! The rooms were clean and there was always there at breakfast to help set up or ensure there food items.
My family and I had a pleasant stay for graduation!
Very nice property - clean, well-attended, excellent service. Exactly what I'd hoped for when I'd booked.

I stayed at the this place 14 years ago and had a good impression. This time, I found the facility has aged a little. The breakfast is still decent. The people are nice there.
Great hotel. Everything was clean and comfortable. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I booked a king room and they had none available when I arrived.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. I was worried where we would park for the Penn State football game the next day and they allowed us to stay parked at the hotel lot and PSU stadium was walking distance from hotel (3/4 mile). Room was clean and quiet.
