We stayed here overnight for Journey's (80s band) final tour. It's very close to Penn State University. Every person on the staff who we encountered were very friendly and helpful. It's a safe location and the rooms are clean. We would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Room is dated but suitable for a short stay. A “breakfast “ was offered but frozen bagels not toasted and coffee was declined. I took the coffee for the road. The neighborhood was quiet and the bed was comfortable
