the property is beautiful, but pretty outdated. The room did not have adequate shower products. the staff was fantastic and accommodating of pets. the pool area was not actually what it looked like in photos, and the hot tub was gutted. the hotel could be a total gem, but was overpriced for what it currently is.

Always loved our stays at the Penn Stater! Disappointed overall with our stay this time. Our room had a view of the roof. Hotel amenities provided were underwhelming. Plastic cups, makeup removal, etc were not replenished.
