Overall, this is an excellent hotel. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
Pros:

The hotel's location is excellent, right on the Penn State campus. The food at all of the restaurants is very good, and the staff is friendly, attentive and welcoming. The valet service is a must - fast, convenient, and very efficient.

Cons:

The air-conditioning unit in our room was a little noisy, but it was nothing major and didn't significantly affect our stay.
