    The hotel and grounds were very clean. The room was a nice size and clean also. The staff was excellent. The parking lot and entrance was a little hard to navigate due to construction I believe. The bar area closed way too early also the kitchen closed at 9pm.

    Despite being under construction, the staff were very kind and helpful, and the food in the bar/lounge was excellent! The stay was very quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable. My husband and I are looking for the same bed to buy for at home. It is a very convenient drive to any place on the Penn State campus or downtown State College, as well as shopping and restaurants that are on the outskirts. It was a great stay and a really great price. We will definitely stay again!
