The Big Lebowski Audio Tape
This was an affordable motel close to Penn State. It was clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly. The only odd part about it is it's built adjacent to a bowling alley. You could hear the bowling balls rolling and the pins falling. But I honestly didn't mind it; it was incredibly soothing and I fell asleep quickly every night. Like the sounds of a summer storm. I was also told the food at the Bowling Alley was excellent, but didn't get a chance to try it.

Amazing Customer Service & Cleanliness!
We had a fantastic time at Northland motel. The customer service was excellent, and the room was very clean. We paid a reasonable price and our expectations were all exceeded. Michael at the front desk was extremely helpful and made our check in / check out process very quick & easy. We would love to come back & I would highly recommend!

Very nice place. Clean, well maintained. It is hard to find.. Hidden behind bowling alley. No prior info telling customers that they need to check in at the front desk of the bowling alley.

The property was recently updated and on the surface looked nice. But there were some areas in the bathroom that were a bit shoddy. The tub spout had about an inch gap from the wall. The shower handle was barely hanging on. The shower curtain rod while secure was poorly connected on one end. And the sink faucet was so far back from the sink that the water just about hit the back of the sink leaving no room to wash your hands without getting water everywhere. Everything functioned but it kind of makes you wonder what other shortcuts were done. But it was a pretty quiet place despite being attached to a bowling alley. Overall not bad.
