We loved our stay here. The check in process was smooth and they took the time to explain to us everything that we needed to know. Parking is paid but right under ground. Rooms were nice and well equipped for a downtown hotel. Beds were nice and wifi actually worked as we needed to work from there. Will recommend and definitely will visit again!

Beautiful hotel and so well designed. Only issue is that the parking garage is very complicated.
6.0 / 10.0
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.
4.0 / 10.0
This hotel is extremely outdated.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.

Great place and location
10.0 / 10.0
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

Quirky and fun establishment. Only stayed one night but had a good nights sleep and accommodations were fine.
8.0 / 10.0
A great stay here. So convenient for the shops/restaurants/campus. Clean, friendly staff.
Our room was quite noisy with road traffic on Monday morning but the only downside
10.0 / 10.0
Excellent! Very pretty & quaint
3.0 / 10.0
We booked a king, got 2 queen beds. overall pretty average hotel at a higher than average price.
If you are planning on parking, the spaces are tiny, expect to unload then park.

Great location needs to have elevators upgraded.
8.0 / 10.0
Room was great but the long pillow that says ‘we are’ smells. It isn’t cleaned or washed or even changed after every guests I guess. Tissue box is almost empty so had to buy one. Most importantly, the exhaust in the bathroom is disgustingly dirty. I have a picture to prove. Elevator is also slow. But overall, it was a nice stay if you don’t plan on staying in the hotel the whole day.
10.0 / 10.0
I loved how unique the hotel was. It was a little difficult to find due to the construction.

Haven’t stayed here since it was the Atherton. Rooms have been nicely renovated and were very comfortable.

The staff were super helpful and friendly. The room was clean and comfy. The best part was I could bring my furkids.
6.0 / 10.0
Lack of signage and one way streets made it difficult to locate, the parking garage was extremely tight. The lobby and common area is very nicely decorated and spacious. I had to wait for the one front desk person to arrive to check in. The rooms are cute but there was hair all through the shower and on tile when we arrived. I paid a fee for late checkout which was great however my key stopped working so I had to return to the lobby to get it corrected. Aldo got 3 desserts from restaurant and the rice pudding was spoiled. On average stay was fine in good location but I was not wowed.
6.0 / 10.0
The room was not very clean, bathroom floor was filled with debris, rust in the shower, hairs in the shower and the bed sheets appeared to not be fresh. The parking garage is very tight if you have a larger vehicle. We did note the cleanliness to the property but no attempts were offered to remedy. I would not stay again.
10.0 / 10.0
Property was clean, inviting and unique in decor. Loved the theme throughout the building. Would definitely stay again.
8.0 / 10.0
Stayed here before and will do so again in future. Just dont like charges for late checkout and then half day charge once you go past 1pm
