The most disgusting hotel that I’ve ever stayed at. Roaches!!! Stains everywhere, including sheets and towels. No security at the hotel anyone can come in, including our room because the rooms keys were left in the room since they have no lobby/reception. And the tub did not drain, and toilet leaked all night long. The worse of the worse.

Zero stars. Turn around and go home.

The worst place I have ever stayed at. The room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. There was a cigarette burn on the blanket, lint on the \"clean\" sheets and bugs. Neither door sealed shut and there was a hole where the floor and wall meet by the window and you could see outside. Due to 'renovations' the doors on the 1st floor were open 24/7 - a major security issue, plus the hallway was freezing since the temp dropped overnight. If it wasn't that cold, I would have slept in my car. I couldn't get out fast enough - but I couldn't even check out until 8:30am. And check-in isn't until 4:30. Also, \"due to renovations,\" you can't even get to your room from the reception area. You have to go back outside to that open door and find your room.
The young lady at the front desk was very polite and efficient, though.

Bathroom was disgustingly dirty-mold or mildew all over especially where tub and tile walls meet; also on floor corner where tub/floor and wall meets; dirty walls in bathroom and bedroom; dirty/stained shower curtain and window curtain; bed spreads stained/dirty. No toilet paper, tissues, towels or washcloth in bathroom. 2 towels that were in bathroom were draped over shower curtain rod. Ordered a non-smoking room and room reaked of cigarettes you could smell it in the curtains and towels do not sure if towels were clean. Nobody in office after 830 pm. Had to wait until 830am next morning for office to open. Office personnel very cooperative but not in charge. Did give us a roll of toilet paper plus went and hot us 2 towels and washcloths from her room upstairs

So bad, it didn’t even have a bible

Wow what can I say. Based on the price and location I was not expecting the Ritz Carlton, however I have never had such a bad experience. Traveled here for the Penn State game and when we arrived for check in at 9:30pm there was nobody in the office, no way of calling and actually getting a hold of anyone live to speak with. Went next door to Scheetz to see if they were able to contact their neighbor. They attempted but “she” never answered. Was told that the worker there had told the folks working at Scheetz that whoever shows up after she leaves is out of luck. Eventually she did show up and checked us in.

Then we went to the rooms. Hallways wreaked of smoke, doors to the hallways were not secured and there was a little sign at the top of the steps indicating that the one portion of the 2nd floor was closed due to reconstruction. Doors to the room must be from the 70’s with old style key for entry.
When we entered we found the curtains tattered and not able to be completely hung on the rod allowing the large parking lot light to shine through. The bed itself was not bad to sleep on, however there was no top sheet, just the fitted sheet then a very rough tattered blanket that must also be a holdover from the 70’s. I moved the center night stand forward to plug my cell phone in and there was debris all over the floor, under the bed and under and behind the night stand.

Shower had shampoo residue and hair in the walls, towels and washcloth sparse and see thru.

Here's the biggest problem: I stayed there in Aug, but needed to cancel a reservation in Sept. The hotel said expedia needed to do it, expedia said the hotel needed to do it. Someone was lying, and I got charged, even after 4 conversations, me offering to shift my dates or take a voucher. The hotel mgmt called twice saying they were trying...somehow they could call me but Expedia couldn't connect with them. It is just a bunch of BS. We interacted with decent people there, which always makes a stay worth it for me, but that is tarnished. There are other thing I could complain about but Im staying focused on BS lying.

This place is right out of a scary movie. So many bugs in the room, filthy sheets, cigarette holes in the coverlets, power outlets pulled out if the wall. The only thing this place has going for it is a helpful desk attendant. We arrived late Friday night, so had no where else to go and had to stay the night. We checked out first thing the next morning, cutting our stay, and, sadly, our visit with our Penn State child, a day short. The pictures do not show the current state of this place.

There was no room darking shades and the window was rather large. My daughter was in fear for bed bugs in the room. So she did not sleep well.

The listing is incorrect saying the desk is open 24 hours. The desk closes at 10:30 pm. That said, the desk clerk and owner were able to accommodate my very late arrival without complaint. The breakfast is just coffee. The place is a very old motor lodge from the 50’s with very few maintenance updates. The sink faucet dropped and the mini fridge clicked. There was a nasty stain in the carpet of some sort by the mini fridge. The beds were reasonably comfortable considering the lower-end mattresses. The linens were clean. The doors were old fashions key lock type that had seen better days. There was passable WiFi.
