Residence Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 27 Dec 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

The hotel was clean, the staff was friendly, and the room layout was great, spacious, well-designed for efficiency and comfort. I like watching TV. in bed, and the large flat screen swiveled toward the bed and it was like being at the movie theater in bed! Complimentary dinner and beer were very nice, too. A nice change of pace from the typical, cramped hotel room. And I got it for $50!

Positives: Love the spacious layout of the room, bathroom, and television. Enjoyed the dinner/hospitality.

Negatives: No negatives to report!

For the price I was able to pay through Priceline it was great. There are a lot of perks to this hotel. Kitchen in the room is great. Pull out couch and room size and set up good. The pool area is nice sized, and the hot tub in the pool area was great, but the floor is a pebble floor and is very painful to bare feet. Make sure you have flip flops. There is a pool table in the main area that is nice to have but it is very "used" and there was only one usable cue stick. They provided a "hospitality" meal and beer in the evening that was nice to offer, but the quality of the food was very poor.

Positives: The room size was good, and the kitchen and pull out couch were great to have. The noon check out time is really great!

Negatives: I have had much more comfortable beds in equally and lower priced hotels. The floor in the pool area was painful.

Residence in 2 miles from Penn State campus. Everyone there was very nice. My adult son and I were there to run a Half Marathon and they let us checkout late to accommodate us. I was surprised there was not an oven or a toaster in the kitchen of the room.

Positives: Breakfast buffet.

Negatives: Beds were soft and no stove in the kitchen.

I didn't check in until late, probably 2.am., so being off the highway it was frustrating to find in the dark. Probably 15 min. off the highway. But the room was amazing. Large, roomy, wish I stayed longer than 2 days!!

Positives: Room was spacious, roomy, clean.

Negatives: Not very close to the highway.

Overall, we were pretty happy with the choice of the hotel. Had full kitchen, sofa/living room space - kind of an alcove studio space. We liked the included breakfast selection (cold and hot) and the waffle maker. Wished we had more time to enjoy the pool and the gym - which is one of the reason we were happy with the hotel selection. The only problem was the smell in the room - we had housekeeping come to use febreeze but it continued to smell like fried food (onion rings or some fast food). We weren't overly concerned as it was tolerable and since we had already unpacked and were tired from the 6-7 hour drive, we didn't bother asking for another room.

Positives: Good location, decent breakfast, prompt service.

Negatives: Room smelled like fried food.

We had never stayed at a Residence Inn before, and it was a very pleasant experience. The room was set up like an apartment with everything you could need. The Inn was very clean, and the breakfast buffet had a greater variety of foods including hot foods than any other we have stayed at. The dining area had a fireplace and large screen TV. Very nice!

Positives: Clean, spacious, great breakfast, everything you could need was provided.

Negatives: Map had the hotel on the opposite side of the highway.
