In the bathroom, the white cloth shower curtain had odd, dirty, yellow stains and the tub had rust stains. The room was not very sound proof - I could hear my neighbor's phone conversations clearly, and the room was located directly across from the floor's ice machine, which was very loud. The bed was very comfortable, however, and the air conditioning worked very well. And there was coffee in the lobby in the morning, which is appreciated.

It was okay. Came here for the PSU vs Oregon game. Lots of water damage in the hotel and construction on the main floor. You can tell it looks like a cheap build just looking in the bathrooms. The shuttle buses from the stadium were not well organized (people mobbing the busses). One person in front of me was seemingly a PSU recruit and criticized the busses saying “what is this crap… Maryland rolled out the red carpet.” It’s on the backside of campus with nothing around. I’d stay again but only as a last resort.

Excellent property. Great people working there. But, not up to a quality place. Landscaping not tended to. Chips and marks on walks. Light bulbs in room out. Equipment damage. Dirty tub. Sunday morning house keeping talking loudly in hall way. Asked for cleaning room at 930 am on a Sunday. Lack of attention to detail.
Garbage and overgrown landscaping.
Scratches and couldn’t tell if locked.

Light bulb out.
