This is a great place for a cheap but clean stay. Bare basics as one would expect for the price. Nothing to earn a 5 star at this location but also nothing to complain about.

The property was well kept. Free parking. The beds and room were clean and comfortable. Many pillows provided. The bathroom was clean but there was no exhaust fan. There was mildew in several areas but the cord from the hairdryer was terribly covered with it. We only stayed one night so this Inn was fine for us. Dated interior but mostly clean and comfortable. The staff upon check-in really could have been pleasant or welcoming. There was no greeting, no smile, no presence of any personality. It was extremely off-putting to me. It felt quite odd actually. But the room was fine for an evening and the location was great!

Good location, close to an excellent brunch place. The structure is old and the accomodations are not fancy, but all the basics were well covered: clean room, comfortable bed, steady hot water, even heat and cooling in the room, solid wifi

The advertise breakfast but there\'s only some dry cereal available in the little office room. Walls seem to be so thin. Can hear everything going on in the neighboring rooms...and I mean "everything". Wasn\'t cleaned properly. There was a pair of dirty socks by my bed and a beer bottle cap on the floor. Whoever cleaned wasn\'t paying much attention at all.

It was perfect for a nights stay where we really were just sleeping. The bed was comfortable. It’s what I would expect from a Rodeway Inn. Only complaint is whatever deodorizer they use in the room was super over powering. I had to open the window - it was really strong,

Worst experience ever. The carpet was filthy, wasn't vacuumed and the bathroom floor was dirty not swept or mopped. Sheets hadn't been changed before or during my stay. The only thing that I could tell they did was make-up the bed and empty the trash. Only make this your absolute last resort. I did.

The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room had recently had a facelift and was very neat, clean and tidy. The bed was very comfortable. Having a microwave and refrigerator is always nice. I guess if I had to pick one thing that wasn't the best, was the bathroom was very small. But it was clean and efficient. I would def recommend and use this place again, especially for the price.

The location is perfectly close to Penn State - 20 min walk or 4 min drive to the library. Buses stop two buildings away from the hotel. It is a two-star hotel, so you do not expect a lot. However, the room is quite spacious, the shower works perfectly, and the reception area has coffee available all day. Nice place.
