The hotel halls were not clean, there was debris and trash on the floors. Our sheet and comforter had stains and crusty flakes of a red waxy substance stuck to them. The floor in our room was dirty including some pills and dirt on the floor. There were pulls missing from the cabinet. Yikes!

Pros (+) We cane out to Penn State for Special Olympics. Unable to give a fair review as we were only in the hotel for about 8 hours due to a late arrival and early departure. Very nice hotel and staff though with our limited stay. Will stay again, hopefully for a little longer!
Cons (-) Not at the hotel long enough to provide a fair opinion.
