Andrea, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Despite being under construction, the staff were very kind and helpful, and the food in the bar/lounge was excellent! The stay was very quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable. My husband and I are looking for the same bed to buy for at home. It is a very convenient drive to any place on the Penn State campus or downtown State College, as well as shopping and restaurants that are on the outskirts. It was a great stay and a really great price. We will definitely stay again!
