Not what it looked like in the pictures and did not meet expectations when you think of grand !
Pros:

It was in a nice location and close to everything. It had a nice e pool for the kids to play in. Nice breakfast in the morning.

Cons:

The rooms were outdated and dirty. There was something all over the ceiling in the bedroom. There were no towels in our room when we got there. Had to go to the front desk to get them. Then went to go to bed and there were no sheets or anything for the pullout bed. Had to go request them from the front desk. But they did bring them to us in a timely manner and apologized for the inconvenience.

Quiet and clean
Pros:

Quiet, clean, minor signs of age, but we slept well. Pool area appears well maintained and was very clean. New carpets. Friendly staff. Close to highway and many restaurants. Perfect location for us, especially considering the price!

Horseshoe Curve Railroad and baseball team
Pros:

We visited the Horseshoe Curve and went to a baseball game. We got to see Konnor Griffin hit two home rims!Location was perfect. Close to restaurants and stores. We liked everything about the hotel. Pool was great rooms were nice, beds were perfect. Our only issues were the A/C didn’t go below 74. And I’m gluten free so breakfast options were few. Otherwise a great two day stay. We will be back. We have family in State College.

Maybe my fault for trying to have a great weekend, just save the money and stay home!!!!!!!!!!
Pros:

The person who greeted us at the front desk was so friendly and helpful! We thought we had made the right decision with staying here...but were quickly surprised about how wrong we were once we got to the room.

Cons:

Pretty much everything!!!!!!!! The pool was a nightmare! There were kids running around and jumping into the pool, screaming and the parents were too busy drinking to care. So much for relaxing!! Then, we navigate the maze of the hotel to finally find the room, which was so warm!!! It is summertime and you would expect the AC to be on, especially if you have a room that joins the pool because of the humidity. There is a thermostat in the room, but don't be thinking you can actually adjust anything, because when we first got there, the temp in the room was 82*, we turned the AC on high and set it to 72, from 8PM - 6 AM it got to 78*!!!!!!!!! Yeah, you will be baked and fried if you stay here! Speaking of fried, on the porch, there was drug paraphernalia. Apparently, no one checks or cleans the porches off the room that overlooks the pools. It is great if you are a drug user, but for someone who works for law enforcement, or medical field, you can not be anywhere near the stuff!!!!!!! If you think you can call from the room, good luck, the phones don't work, well at least the one in our room. They have cute lamps that are supposed to charge your devices, yeah...they don't work so don't even bother. Don't try to charge anything by your bed either, because the outlets are wonky and your charger will literally just fall out of the wall. Better be taking and packing some extra portable battery packs!!!!!!! Oh and if you get a jacuzzi room, get ready for some more disappointment!! Such a shame, because we stayed here about 10 years ago, and it was in such better shape. Such a disappointment!!!!!!!
