The hotel and front desk young lady was good for the most part. However, I selected this hotel for the ev charging. Which would have been great to charge while resting but neither worked. No one knew what the issue was. Front desk contacted the manager who also did not have knowledge of how or why it wasn’t working. Had to travel over 20 mins to find a station which was an inconvenient. No solution or accommodations were made.

I choose the property because of the rating and even though the room was clean, it needs updating.. the matress was hard to sleep and the A/C wasn’t working properly. Temperature was cold outside so it wasn’t a big deal for one night but don’t recommend during summer time.

It's silly to charge $10 for parking in an uncovered parking lot; if anything, you could simply mark parking as "hotel guests only" and still utilize a parking slip. The night time check-in receptionist demonstrated a presence that might indicate further training on hospitality, cordiality and a welcoming spirit might be beneficial.

Great hotel for my quick stay for a concert at the Yuengling Center. It is off a busy street so I can be a little noisy but ear plugs are provided in the room if this may be an issue, otherwise it was great
