"I truly enjoyed my stay at this location! 😊 The convenience, accessibility, and overall experience made it a great choice for my time in the area. Once I got off the bus, it was less than a 17-minute straight walk to the room, which made getting around so much easier. There was a CVS directly across the street, Walmart less than 20 minutes away, and a Giant grocery store approximately 13 minutes away. There were also plenty of fast-food spots and restaurants nearby to accommodate different tastes and preferences. 🛍️🍽️ The check-in process was smooth, easy, and completely hassle-free! 🙌 Everything came together seamlessly, making my stay that much more enjoyable. This is officially my new go-to spot whenever I’m in the area working on productions! 🎬✨ Much love and appreciation to the management team for helping make this a pleasant experience. Wishing you all continued success! Ase! 🙏💙"

"The rooms need to be updated, and the heater was really bad. It never really got warm. What I really think is lousy is how much they charged for that weekend- I know that it was PSU Family weekend (that's why we were there), but to charge literally MORE than 3X the regular rate is unforgiveable!
