It’s an old property. Though they have done well to give it a decent apparently, the reality is the “bones” of the place is old. That said, check in staff were so nice and made it a smooth process despite having new *clunky* Hilton systems. Parking garage tight for SUVs. Had a women (assume she was drunk) try to enter our room. Not the hotels fault but still unclear if she actually opened our door or not so that was a bit troublesome. Beds were comfortable. Great location. It’s ok to stay here but the price point is way too high for how old it is.

This hotel is extremely outdated. The rooms are extremely dark. My room only jad one window and the blind don't go up! The beds are low and uncomfortable. And, there is a huge Penn State lion lamp in the room! I've never seen anything that alarming in a room.

Everything was amazing. The only reason I give the staff 4 stars is that the bar area only had one staff member. Also, the bar area and the sundry area (they were both served by the bar) were poorly stocked. Otherwise I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay
