Great budget stay. Just as the other reviews say, the room was clean, staff was super friendly, breakfast being delivered through a secret cubby right to our room was really neat! I look forward to staying here again when passing through State College in the future.

We stayed here overnight for Journey's (80s band) final tour. It's very close to Penn State University. Every person on the staff who we encountered were very friendly and helpful. It's a safe location and the rooms are clean. We would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!
