Staying here for business. Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Free Coffee, Tea and USA Today paper. Close to shopping and food. Staff is great. Did not use the pool or Bistro. Will use again When I am here on business.

Penn State Graduation - 2 night minimum - pricey...However, conveniently located. Signage not the best as main entrance is on side street. Parking lot connects to Ruby Tuesday on corner of S. Atherton & University Dr. Friendly staff good at multi-tasking. Snack table in lobby for game weekends and graduation. Free coffee/tea hidden behind sitting area. Breakfast counter service slow....

My son is going to Penn State. We stayed when we visited the campus. The hotel is quiet, clean and comfortable. They have free coffee and tea in the lobby, and the pool is quite nice and large for a Courtyard. It is really close to Penn State. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast is served quickly and... More
