Staff was wonderful. Alana and Rebecca at the front desk were very helpful. The room was clean but I gave 4 stars for an old stain on the duvet, that we wouldn't have seen except my child sleeps like a tornado. We'd stay again.
A Very Nice Hotel i was very happy with the Rooms, Service and the Celebrities Restaurant was Excellent! Will certainly stay here again! The one small thing... the Hot Tub needs whatever it is that keeps down on the Foam. Otherwise Im extremely pleased!

This is my 3rd stay at Ramada by Wyndham and it's always a wonderful stay...we travel from Lancaster to come to Concerts at Bryce Jordan Center and thus is our favorite place to stay...Rooms are so nice and clean and Staff at Desk are wonderful!!!
Great place especially for the price, all staff were great. The indoor pool and hot tub were nice and warm even with all the snow outside. I will definately be staying here again.
Besides a couple of minor things. The stay was great. Swimming pool jacuzzi were so relaxing. Breakfast was really good. If in the area would definitely stay again.
Our family very much enjoyed this hotel/motel. My kids loved the indoor pool and complimentary breakfast. The staff was always pleasant and accommodating. The rooms were cozy, relatively clean. We stayed in a room right next to the indoor pool, my only recommendation would be to avoid rooms 135-151 if you are traveling with children as the pool is very loud until it closes at 10 pm.
This informal conference hotel is 4 miles from The Arboretum at Penn State and 5 miles from the Tussey Mountain ski and recreation area.
