We always loved staying at the Penn Stater. This time around, we didn't sleep well. The bed felt like a pull out mattress. They also provide coffee in the room, but no water to make the coffee. I will definitely stay again, but may need to more picky.

2nd time staying at this hotel. Recent stay in the 5 series rooms. The bathroom needs re-grouting, black moldy spots were everywhere. The tub was unstable (felt as if I would fall through). Bathroom was very small - fit one person at a time. Carpet was also not very clean. Hotel is outdated. The Legend restaurant was good convenient food. The hotel does have free parking.
