The gentle man at the front desk was very polite and welcoming. However, i have several issues with the relax inn. 1. This location states on Expedia that theres a bar/restaurant lounge on the premises. NOT TRUE! One of my main reasons for choosing this location was for the restaurant, so i could get my meals without further travel. 2. I needed ice and when i asked where i could get some fro., the lady at the front desk told me the ice machine was broken. So i had to drive down the street to get ice. 3. The room smelled of must. I took a can of microban 24 and ended up spraying 3/4 of the can in the room to get rid of the smell. I couldnt get rid of it all, it was clearly in the walls and carpets. I ended up getting sick from the smell. 4. I understand i requested a non smoking room, however, its a health problem and violation that this location has smoking rooms but there are NO SMOKE DETECTORS in the rooms! Huge violation! 5. The Relax inn offers a free breakfast. NOT! What i seen for the 2 days that i stayed was a pot of coffee that tasted like it was old coffee, the coffee flavoring they had, the bottles were disgustingly dirty. There were only 5 pastries put out each morning and they were all expired by a week. Another violation! The bread for toast i had noticed stayed out on the counter inside a plastic tray exposed to the elements of the air. I wouldnt of touched it! Thats all that was on the FREE BREAKFAST. Im not happy with this place at all.

Interesting motel

This hotel was nice enough. It has clearly seen better days, but it's still here. It looks like it was built before hotels became uniform in room shape and expectation. I could imagine at one point in time it would have been semi-resort like. It does need updating, but it really it had everything I needed. I'm guessing the lack of a market for it's rather pretty country location prevents it from getting a complete overhaul. I hope it stays around for a while.

The hostess was pleasant, but the property was a bit rundown overall. We were placed in a room to the rear of the property and the ere was debris piled in the driveway and generally in a state of poor maintenance. Also the restaurant/bar was closed and obviously hadn't been in operation for a long time. The room itself was acceptable inside.

Hotel WANNABE !!!!?

Rooms smelled of mildew; everything in poor condition; very old and dated; refrigerator and microwave breakers in all rooms were tripped, no soap in rooms; continental breakfast wasn’t ready at all at 630 as promised; breakers tripped like 15 times for waffles and rosters; one table with 2 chairs; unfortunately there were no other options close to Penn State for graduation; ONLY saving grace was TV worked and shower was hot and beds were okay; place needs a TOTALgut or demo and start over !!!!!
