Worst place I've ever stayed at and the staff was rude. I even seen one of the housekeeping supervisors (Jackie)who clearly had their name badge on yelling at one of the girls and being rude to her. I would never stay there again.

Not a bad night's stay. The staff was friendly and helpful. We booked this hotel for several nights when the motel we originally booked fell through. The staff was friendly and provided a military rate which is always appreciated. The room we stayed in had a handicap accessible shower which my wife and I were wary of at first. It... More

We stayed at this hotel for two nights.It is located in a nice area near restaurants and a shopping center. The rooms were clean and nice. They had a good breakfast, to include a waffle maker. The only complaint is that there was construction. The ramps were blocked off so it was hard to get the bell hop cart to... More

Arrived early, but checking in was no problem. Room was very clean and comfortable. The only "complaint" (if you want to call it a complaint) was that there was no available outlet near the nightstand next to the bed, which was a minor inconvenience. Staff was very helpful and accomodating, especially when I thought I would have to extend my... More

Just needed a spot to stop and snooze the night before a flight out of the College Park airport. This fit the bill. It is convenient and Aaron accommodated with hardly a hesitation, when I asked to be switched to a main floor room. In the morning, I was greeted by several members of the staff, and found a spacious... More

Dear Puffinfan, I am very happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us. Aaron and Nicole are both wonderful members of our very friendly and accommodating staff. When you fly out of University Airport next time feel free to leave you car here and catch the Nittany Airport Shuttle. They are very inexpensive and super reliable. I hope... More

As someone with pet allergies, I didn't realize pets were welcome at this hotel. I had to ride elevators with them, which caused an allergic flare. With that said, the hotel is clean, the shower large and the staff is great. The friendly, helpful woman at breakfast had the best attitude and customer focus of any hotel employee I've observed...

Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your stay. I am sorry that the pets we welcome caused you discomfort. I hope that it was only in the elevator! We do take additional steps to clean rooms that pets stayed in to ensure that our non-pet lovers rest comfortably in their rooms. I am very glad that,... More
