Pros: The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The woman working at the desk took the time to draw us a map to show us where to go on our visit to Penn State. Someone also brought cupcakes in during the evening and offered us some. I would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Penn State. Best hotel stay I've ever experienced.

Pros: Close to Penn State Campus and Waffle House is right across street. There is a good Korean Restaurant just down the street. Unfortunately, they closed during the time when I was there. They must be on vacation. Room is spacious and clean. A lot of parking space.

Cons: The treadmill in the workout room was out of order. This happens - I think we just hit it at the wrong time.

Cons: Breakfast could be better, would love real hot oatmeal. But they do have yogurt and fresh apple which I like. Wish room insulation would be better. Overall, it is good stay experience.

Pros: Before I booked the hotel I read the reviews and I took a chance. I'm glad I did! I have no clue why someone would rate the hotel low. I have been in hotels for twice the price and this hotel was really a good deal for the price and very clean!! Don't hesitate!

Cons: Our hotel room was located just around the corner from the front lobby on the main floor. Although this was convenient for getting out to our vehicle the hallway was noisy. We could hear people talking in the hallway from inside our room throughout much of the night. I wish we had been given a more quiet room.

Pros: Relatively low price, friendly staff.
Cons: In my room, the heater, when on, always blowed air, even when desired temperature was reached and the thermostat turned off the heating element. At this point, the heater started to blow cold air, which was uncomfortable (as I lay in my bed, the cold air was blowing over my head). I could not find the way to program the heater to turn off the fan when desired temperature is reached.

Pros: I did like the value. I didn't have high expectations. But I enjoyed the stay. I liked the location (prob the best in town). I liked the staff I interacted with. The room had basic things and amenities that are clean (e.g. clean towels) although I couldn't say the room and the facilities were super clean or perfectly maintained. At approx $50 (incl. tax) what more could I want? I would rather have an imperfect lodging close to campus at lower rate than having no option but $100 squicky perfect rooms.

Pros: Convenient to downtown - park for free and walk everywhere. Good value for a night or two.

Pros: The location is unbeatable. Since a room became available last minute, I decided to venture and stay here despite the horrendous reviews. Well, let me put it this way, next time, I won’t mind paying the big bucks to stay elsewhere!
Only positives are the location, and the shower, which was pretty decent (as long as you close your eyes and don’t mind the outdated bathroom)

Cons: Not every part of the facility was clean, you could see the building is old, although I wouldn't say dirty either.
Super close to campus means both good and bad. Good.. it's close. Bad.. you'd probably have to tolerate the noise that you'd expect from college neighborhood (e.g.Thursday night party noise). I didn't mind.
