Loved being able to stay here for a cheap price thanks to online hotel deal It was around end of 2016 or beginning 2017(I think 2017 is more like it) i got nice deal for like $30 to $35 not bad even at that time and even though the room had no view it was just amazing being in there So sad the governor wanted them to take it down because this was such a lovely place and only needed some fixing up But its too late since building was torn down already It is nice u can still call that # though and hear the music from the early 1900’s(Pennsylvania 5000) after recording saying they permanently closed
