The room was super clean, staff were friendly and we had no problems. The air conditioner was noisy to the point of disrupting sleep which was a bummer. Otherwise a great deal for a 1 night stay for a concert! Bring ear plugs and you will be set up to sleep better :)

The room was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the location was great. It’s attached to a bar and bowling alley so if you’re looking for something to do where you don’t have to go far, it’s super convenient. I will say that on Saturday, we could hear the band as if they were on the other side of our room, but we were the first room on the first floor. They only played until 12 I think? But if you go to bed early maybe ask for a room at the other end. Other than that, no complaints and the sticky buns and extra water in our room were a super nice touch! We will stay there again on our next trip to PSU
