Other than the breakfast, the room and cleanliness and staff were excellent
Pros:

The check in staff ask me the purpose of my trip, and because I was visiting someone at the assisted living facility across the street, I got a discount!

Cons:

The breakfast café only serves Starbucks coffee, which I find repulsive.

Quick great stay
Pros:

Came here for a one night stay cause my Son was looking at Penn State. It’s down the road from the college. We arrived on a Wednesday night 12:30am. The lady at the front desk was very nice thanked me for my Ambassador status. Asked why we are visiting and told my Son good luck. Told us what time the Bistro opens and told me that she will be making coffee before it opens. The hotel is very clean, room is huge and very clean. Not a big deal but when I went to take a shower the body wash was empty in the shower. I did bring my own but it’s just a little detail. This hotel looks like it was just redone. We wish we could stay here longer. Bistro in the am was fast and food was real good. Definitely will use this hotel again if my Son decides to go here.

A So-So Courtyard
Pros:

So-so Courtyard. Rooms clean upon arrival. Well lit parking lot. I'll bet many travelers stay here on business and, like me, are up early and would like coffee in the morning. The coffee service in the room features a little pillow bag of coffee for water to dribble through for a weak tasteless brew. There is a coffee bar in the lobby that sells coffee, but it isn't open early. You will need to drive to a nearby gas station for your coffee. No housekeeping either during my stay. You get two towels and that's it. I don't know what to do with full wastebaskets.

Complementary hot breakfast, thought it was included, but we paid for it.
