The room was very clean and comfortable. Pam was very nice and helpful in checking us in upon arrival. We were able to check-in early via the site which made check-in easy and stress-free. We even took advantage of the bowling alley right next door and the free shoe rental deal. We occasionally could hear the bowling activity next to us but it wasn't too distracting. Something to think about if traveling with small kids as the bowling alley closes around 11 pm so it may not be ideal. However, once you turn up the tv you don't even pay attention to it. Overall, good experience.

We had a wonderful stay this past PSU parents' weekend at the Northland Motel. The motel is a hidden gem. It has clean, updated rooms and very comfortable beds. Most importantly, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful (Michael and Pam!) and really made the stay so nice. The motel is attached to a very fun bowling alley, and we had some fun family time there as well. We will definitely stay again.
