"I have stayed here several times over the last 3 months for a travel work assignment. The staff are always really friendly and helpful. The rooms are always clean and quiet no matter what floor I am on. It’s in a great location for Penn State activities, there are several local dining and shopping options, and it’s close to Penn Highlands State College Hospital. I stay here anytime that I am in town for work and they have available rooms. The price is one of the better ones in the area which is a great bonus!"
