Not as good as advertised

Photos are misleading. Hotel staff were rude, no gym on site (blocks away), restaurant wasn’t open for breakfast with no reason given. Bathrooms dated. Probably won’t stay again - I don’t usually leave negative comments either

The check in was easy, the parking garage was wonderful! The staff was very accommodating to our needs for the weekend as we were attending a matinee show and needed our bags checked at the desk until it was done. The breakfast had protein options, the room was comfortable and clean and the shower had soap/shampoo/conditioner provided. We loved all the little details and amenities provided us! Lyle was a five star night host!

Perfect location and super star staff

Gold star service at every turn. We checked in late, stopped by the desk after our event and again at check out. Every staff member was courtesy personified. The DIY s'mores are the best way to end the evening. The location of the hotel is fantastic for PSU and the Keller Auditorium events. The style was spot on and that courtyard...perfect for a catch up with friends or wind down before bed. Definitely staying here again. The only downside is, when booking through hotels.com, there is a mysterious "destination fee" and at the hotel and additional "amenities fee". No bueno.

We’ve stayed here twice for shows at the Keller and the facility and staff are so focused on making the time feel a bit extra special all the time. My wife and I felt like Lyle and Damian genuinely wanted our trip to be as good as possible and that is hard to do when you work in hospitality! Lu’kas went above and beyond unloading luggage! We recommend the Zags to everyone.
