In the greater State College area it is rare to find a decent place to stay that isn't going to rake you over the coals on price. So this was a great find. As a traveling musician I need to make every dollar count, and this was a nice place, and great value.
I have stayed in older motels before with mixed results, but this place was different - there was a staff person in the office when i got there - no need to page or call.
The room was painted nicely, the furniture was in great shape. The carpet was clean. The bathroom was clean with new fixtures.
Plenty of outlets for phone, tablet etc. The television was new and cable service worked perfectly. There was a nice mini-fridge and microwave.
The downside - the air conditioner was an older window unit that could use updating, but it worked fine. The thermostat was also old-school, but the heat was fine - especially for the chilly night that i stayed.
Check in was at 2pm which was terrific, and check out at 11am so no need to rush.
Plenty of conveniences nearby - gas, fast-food, a grocery store. The little village of Mifflintown nearby was very quaint and i found a terrific local coffee shop nearby as well.
Plenty of parking. Close to the major route (US 322) - quiet.
A very pleasant surprise
