Room didn't appear it was cleaned

Have been staying at the Penn stater for many years. this trip was not as good as past trips. The room was not very clean. Found hairs on floor an in sink and a used washcloth wrapped inside a clean towel and water still in ice bucket from last occupant. Felt as though wasn't even cleaned at all. Legends restaurant was excellent as it has always been so that was the highlight of the trip. This Hotel is very tired and needs some updating for the price.

It was perfect, the staff made the stay extra special. Hotel rooms were clean, and the shuttle bus they have is so helpful when going to a Penn State Hockey Game.
