Room was spotless! Great spot to stay…..however….there is no breakfast! They offer to drop a bagel or muffin with coffee or just at your room. Still, we’ll be staying again on PSU game day

The room was clean. The toilet was not. The room was definitely very outdated. The staff was very friendly. All in all, we stayed for two nights and hadn’t planned to spend a lot of time there. It was okay and served its purpose.
