It worked for what I needed

I just needed a place to sleep for a night while traveling with my 80 lb dog, so this sufficed. They allowed large dogs, had a poop bag station, and the staff was warm and welcoming. It was a big hotel and was pretty quiet which was nice. It's also in a good area with lots of dining options, just down the street from Penn State University.

But the outdoor potty area was super small and more wooded vs grass. That would probably be the biggest con for me - the lack of outdoor areas for her to go potty. If your dog doesn't need a ton of room to sniff and explore in order to go potty, then you'll be fine, or you may have to walk further/explore more. Some hotels we've stayed in have a grassy lawn area in the back or side of the hotel - this one does not.

The hotel itself was a bit outdated and needed some maintenance (door and vending machines out of order), but overall not too bad. It had a small breakfast (cereal, make your own waffle, etc). All-in-all not a terrible place to stay, and on the cheaper side. It did the trick for the 1 night we stayed.
