The only other issue we had was the towels located in the pool area courtesy of the hotel were damp . Other then that I would recommend staying here !!

Adequate

This location covers all of the basics: friendly and helpful staff, and a clean room. Being a Residence Inn, it did lack some things we were expecting like dish soap, kitchen towels, and a few other bathroom basics. The pots and pans were very old and we would not have use them for cooking.
The gym was nice and clean, but the treadmill‘s are in really bad shape if you’re looking to work out. We didn’t use the pool area, but we also didn’t see anyone maintaining it and it didn’t look exceptionally clean. Overall, it was a fine stay but not exceptional.

A premium name hiding a lack luster hotel

First let me say positive: Staff was very polite, kind, helpful. Beautiful lobby and grounds. Then we had to switch rooms because room we were first in had dry pee under the toilet lid, black mold growing under the the toilet bowl rim, rust in tub, smudged lip stain on a clean glass, dog hair in clean bowls and clean utensils. The cleaner room that we switched to, while it was much cleaner and it had a comfy bed, here’s what was miserable: Bedding was thin for late October. Had to ask front desk for extra blankets. Small mold marks on bedroom curtains. Tub backed up with water as I showered to about an inch high and as a result some type of sandy brown dirt formed near the drain. My husband investigated and found tissue stuck in the drain but even after he removed the tissue the shower still flooded. Toilet got clogged and we had to ask for a plunger which fixed the clog. Dust on top of bed frame was like 1/4 inch thick which says no one has deep cleaned the place for months. Which explains the poor maintenance in the bathtub. Coffee at the lobby was lukewarm and tasted like watered down coffee. Three times I went there the creamer was low on cream. One last complaint, the closet and bedroom doors were hard to open. Had to yank them or push them to open/close. Pretty pricey to stay for the low quality experience. What really surprised me was the coffee. It’s easy and cheap to make good coffee. How’d they get that wrong?

Just disappointed that the room was not very clean. Bathroom and kitchen area looked like it had a quick wipe down and no cleaning products were used. An empty toilet paper roll was in the bathroom and no extra roll of toilet paper was left. No vacuum was ever used. Night tables and desk where never wiped down either. Thank goodness I bring my own sanitizer wipes with me. Really disappointed with this particular location. Not worth the money at all.

My stay here was terrible! I was supposed to stay for two days from august 27th-29th and I didn’t even get to stay in my own room let alone for the entire two days because the front desk charged me for my entire stay at check in when they aren’t supposed to charge until you check out! This literally ruined my whole stay I couldn’t even check in and I had to stay with my friend in her room cause of this issue and even had to leave early cause I didn’t have my room and the guy at the front desk kept insisting they didn’t charge me for my full stay at check in even said I wasn’t checked in and I had to have another credit card to authorize that amount when they shouldn’t have even charged me to check in to begin with! Absolute worst first experience ever and I will never book with them again!

Not bad.

The hotel was decent and the location was good. Definitely the dog hotel. Which was good for us as we had a dog until the second day when they placed a small verbal dog in the room next door, resulting in some barking. The this apparently led to a compliant to which the front desk called and inferred we had not paid a pet fee, although we had. We were also charged incidental fees of varying amounts everyday we stayed but nobody could explain why or for what purpose. Ultimately, not bad for a hotel in state college that allows pets. I do not know if it earns and exception though.

Not clean

During a pandemic, even more than in the before-times, cleanliness is key for a hotel. When i checked in, the front desk guy said the room intended for me wasn't cleaned so he moved me to a different room. I lugged all my things up from the car into my (supposedly clean) room. It smelled like smoke. I brought my own lysol wipes to re-clean and glad i did -- it was filthy. When i turned on the bedside light, a huge spot on the carpet next to the bed seemed to glow. I will never stay here again. On my return trip, i switched from Marriott to Hilton and was very very very pleased.

Room was nice. Very good view. Bedsheets were dirty and we had to replace them as soon as we got there. Front desk agent didn't know how to find towels and we had to go back three times (over 10 hours) before they were ready. We had no towels as we were requested to leave the dirty ones in the hallway. I told the young man at the desk i was going to take them from the pool if he couldn't figure out how to find some. Outside of that, peaceful stay.
