- SCStephen CassadyDec 29, 20255.0This is by far the best check-in experience we have ever had. We received an extremely friendly reception when we walked in and very accommodating for the need that we had for this trip. This is a great hotel to stay at plenty of parking. Nice breakfast choices, clean rooms would definitely stay again.
- CVChristopher VerasDec 23, 20255.0Excellent location! The hotel and room were in pristine condition - very clean, well maintained, and many amenities. Services included free breakfast, water in the lobby, toiletries from the front desk, a business computer for printing, and a fitness center. The front desk staff were very friendly and expressed willingness to help with any needs I may have had when checking in. Highly recommend if driving through Pennsylvania!
- SSShannonDec 17, 20253.0Stayed here several times and usually have a great experience, but this visit was disappointing. The elevators were freezing and our room stayed cold despite adjusting the thermostat. Breakfast was overcooked and many items were gone well before the end of service, even though guests were still coming down. Staff were friendly, but it seemed they didn’t have enough for all guests. In the past, breakfast has been a highlight, so it was disappointing this time.
- HYHarry YazbekDec 6, 20255.0I can't say enough about the staff in this hotel, especially Liz at the front desk, she was helpful, kind, funny and made us feel right at home. Housekeeping was not only friendly and courteous but always smiling. I can tell the culture in this hotel is fantastic, so great job all around. Keep up the amazing job you do.
- JEJim EvansDec 4, 20255.0Clean and quiet hotel, plenty of parking and no anxiety about safety here. Front desk was efficient and very pleasant. Room is well furnished, plenty of lights, charging ports all work, and quite clean. And coffee 24-7. Must have coffee to get 5 stars.
