Pros:

Location was convenient but noisy from road traffic, refrigerator sounded like a jack hammer, and climate control was odd… it went from freezing to blowing hot air with a change of 2 degrees on the thermostat.

Pros:

Property was clean and tidy. Staff was friendly except the one manager who was on duty at our check in . She was very unwelcoming however the young man who initially served was great! The only other issue we had was the towels located in the pool area courtesy of the hotel were damp . Other then that I would recommend staying here !!

Pros:

Room was very clean and the bed was comfortable! I enjoyed all of the breakfast options and how most options were healthy. The breakfast attendant was very sweet asking everyone how breakfast was and collected your dishes for you! I will definitely stay in the future when I’m in State College!
