Ok but not great.

They had the cheapest cable & we couldn't find anything to watch. The one thing we could have watched was on a channel that wasnt working. One or two more chairs would have been nice as well.

room had a musty smell, bathtub drain clogged, hot water barely there. AND because I stepped outside to use my medical marijuana and left the ash cup on the dresser THEY ARE FALSELY ACCUSING me of smoking IN the room, I smoked OUTSIDE the room on the walkway AND I am being punished for having a SMALL amount of ashes from 1/2 small joint in a cup with water? I am protesting the charge.

You Get What You Pay For...

I certainly don't fault the operators, they are doing their best, but I would say that the chain could help out a bit more with the upkeep. I've stayed here before, and so I didn't expect perfection. The good: room was clean, and staff did their job. The bed was comfortable. The desk people were very nice and professional. The not-good: no phone in the room, desk lamp listed at a scary angle and was a fire hazard, the TV/Cable reception was hazy, snowy and poor audio quality. The room needs a serious renovation, in fact the hotel really does as a whole. It's good if you are here to overnight or just to sleep.

The price was good. It was conveniently located. However, the property is old and worn out. The carpeting and furniture were dirty. The bedfing was threadbare. The bathtub was old and worn and the faucet/shower control was coming out of the wall. Note: the property is undergoing major remodeling. Our room hadn't been touched yet. Maybe it will improve once renovation is completed.

The room needed updating. The bed was very comfortable. But, the bathroom needed some updating. The shower wall was cracked and the door frame around the inside of the bathroom was old and was needing to be replaced. The "Smoke Free" room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. The furnishings in the room were like 1950's style. The curtains and entry door were very dated as well. There were no outlet plugs near the bed and night stands location. There was an extention plug with several plugs availble on the two drawer dresser. There was NO hair dryer, or coffee/ tea maker in the room. The drain plug in the sink was missing, and the tv had very poor reception it was very snowy and/or looked like dual screens over top of each other. The initial desk person was infoming me that I would need to place a deposit of $200.00 on my credit card for any damages caused to the room, since I resided within 50 miles of the hotel, and that it would be returned after the maid cleaned the room. After I informed her that I resided over 110 miles away and/ or that it was at least a 2 hour drive to the hotel, she then indicated that this rule did not apply to me. I did have to initial and sign a form stating that I would be charged for any damages that may be caused by children or pets, which also did not apply to my husband, or I. There was nothing mentioned about breakfast or the time in the a.m. so we were not aware that breakfast was available to us.

Saying the property is very dated and needs major renovation is being nice. A complete demolition and rebuild would be required for this property to meet modern albeit developing nation standards. The only thing that was good was the late night check in lady. She very polite and friendly.

Was very disappointed. Have stayed here in past, but the hotel has definitely gone down hill. The desk had a broken drawer and the mirror had a big crack in it. The stairway to the 2nd level was filthy. We told the maid we would be out of the room by 11:30, but she just handed us clean towels and never came back to clean the room or make the bed. Overall very disappointed. Will not stay here next year when we visit family in Altoona.

I thought the room was okay, it was clean. But the smell was horrible. We had a non smoking room but it reeked of cigarettes so bad. I use a cpap at night and once I returned home and used my cpap it smelled of the room. The staff was very friendly and nice.

The property was very old and in need of repair. The room had a terrible odor and smelled like someone had smoked many packs of cigarettes in it although it was a non-smoking room. When we turned on the heat, it smelled like we were burning toast. The hot breakfast only had waffles. No meat, no milk for the oatmeal. No stopper in the bathroom sink, hair on the sheets on both beds. Only one sad looking apple was available for fruit for both mornings. Staff was pleasant. Would not stay here ever again. The property was 100 years old.

I checked into 2 rooms. One room was clean enough. The other room was disgusting like someone had just got busy in the bed. I smelled horribly and there was a pillow missing on one of the beds. It was so bad i did not stay in that room and asked for a refund. Which i did not get. Overall Horrible service.

Room was old and very run-down. Floor was dirty. No handle o sink drain to open and close. Toilet didn't flush well, sometimes took three flushes. Non-smoking room smelled like smoke. When bathroom light turned on , fan started; it would bind and "scream" very loudly for the time on. Room was hot and a/c inefficient. List of tv channels didn't match what came up. I hadn't driven all day from NC to PA, I'd have asked for my money back and looked for a room elsewhere.
