Love the location

We went for a concert at yuengling which was about a mile away. Many other guests walked to the concert. We were offered a complimentary shuttle but since it stopped running at 9:45, we declined. That was a bonus to know of this though. The bed was unfortunately the worst. The following morning, i had neck issues. Breakfast was amazing as always. The evening reception consisted of potato chips, pretzels, cheez its and m&m's. I was mainly there for the 2 free alcoholic drinks. Overall, I'd return

Before I booked I called the hotel to make sure the pool would be open for my granddaughter. The staff assured me it was and the hours of operation. I booked my room and upon arrival, the pool was closed down for repairs. The front desk said it has been closed for a week already and did not know why someone would tell me otherwise. They offered an apology for my Expensive room-plus parking fees. Never again!!!
Closed with men working and caution tale around.
Closed and not for 1day.
