"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!"

"The room in this hotel was straight ahead-good. Nothing fantastic, nothing horrible/bad. You need a place to stay for a night or two and don't want to spend as much as some of the other hotels around State College, this is a decent place. Don't let the outside or the hallways turn you off. Rooms and breakfast are decent."

10/10 Excellent
"Janey and Hal are amazing couple. Their house is beautiful, super clean and organized. Janey and Hal are very friendly, professional. They took time to seat with us during breakfast and we shared stories like only families do. They have a beautiful pool that we couldn’t enjoy because the cold weather in fall but definitely staying with them the next time we visit Penn State. If you love dogs they have 3 lovely labradors that will greet you from the backyard like you just came for a plate day with them. Ready with their toys to share with you. I highly recommend this beautiful, cozy and friendly place! Thank you Janey and Hal. 💕💕💕"
