I was looking for an inexpensive overnight option for a road trip. I had not stayed in a motel for a while, but it worked out just fine. The room was not large, and the bathroom in particular might be tight for a large person. However, the Wi-Fi was excellent, the water was hot, the air conditioning worked well, and the beds were reasonably comfortable. I even found a lovely hiking path as part of the Penn State arboretum within half a mile of the motel, so was able to stretch my legs after a long drive. I would consider staying here again.

Quick Trip

The room was basic and dated. The basic needs are met. No room key..there is a digital key pad which is nice. Helpful to have a fridge in the room. Staff was friendly.

It would have excellent if they put me on the first floor where there were several empty rooms. But they gave me second floor where I had to climb rickety steep narrow stairs.
