"Clean hotel room with comfortable beds. My only complaint is that the pillows were lumpy. Housekeeping was extremely diligent, and the staff was helpful and welcoming. Make sure you put the Do Not Disturb sign on the door if you don't want to be woken up early. There were several restaurants and stores nearby, and Penn State wasn't far away. 2016-10-25"

If you just want a cheap place and don't care what the room is like, then stay here.2019-07-22"

"Not worth the price. The hotel was nice, the room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. We ordered room service and got good food and pleasant service. However, the noise level in the hallway and from other rooms was out of control. I called the front desk and was offered another room, but it was late and the staff wouldn't help me move. I expected better service. Don't stay here during a Penn State game weekend. I certainly wouldn't stay here again.2017-04-27"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
