Interesting motel

This hotel was nice enough. It has clearly seen better days, but it's still here. It looks like it was built before hotels became uniform in room shape and expectation. I could imagine at one point in time it would have been semi-resort like. It does need updating, but it really it had everything I needed. I'm guessing the lack of a market for it's rather pretty country location prevents it from getting a complete overhaul. I hope it stays around for a while.

The hostess was pleasant, but the property was a bit rundown overall. We were placed in a room to the rear of the property and the ere was debris piled in the driveway and generally in a state of poor maintenance. Also the restaurant/bar was closed and obviously hadn't been in operation for a long time. The room itself was acceptable inside.

Hotel WANNABE !!!!?

Rooms smelled of mildew; everything in poor condition; very old and dated; refrigerator and microwave breakers in all rooms were tripped, no soap in rooms; continental breakfast wasn’t ready at all at 630 as promised; breakers tripped like 15 times for waffles and rosters; one table with 2 chairs; unfortunately there were no other options close to Penn State for graduation; ONLY saving grace was TV worked and shower was hot and beds were okay; place needs a TOTALgut or demo and start over !!!!!
