I work in the Oil and Gas business and have to travel quite a bit for work. The last 2-3 months I have been in the Indiana, PA area and have largely stayed at the Quality Inn. For the money it is easily the best value in the area when you consider the Comfort Inn and Hampton are over $100/night and having stayed at the Comfort Inn on one occassion(I will not go back) when the Quality Inn was booked, I can say that you don't get what you pay for there.
Rooms are good sized with a decent bathroom area and you get a fridge/microwave combo which is big for me because I don't like to always eat out when I am on the road and it allows me to bring and keep food/drink in the room. Fitness center is adequate and has enough equipment to get in a decent workout while on the road. The nicest thing for me though is the new furniture and renovated rooms. You get a large desk area which is great if you are on business, plenty of outlets to hook up your computer/printer etc. and a nice HDTV for kicking back and relaxing late in the evening. The only hang up is they don't actually have HD cable service, but that's really no big deal.
The wireless internet is free, but depending on where you are in the hotel the signal can be really sketchy. That would be one of my few complaints. The only other problem I've had was room not being ready on time, this has happened a couple of times and I've had to wait 20-30 minutes after 3pm to check in, even one Sunday I came to check-in around 7pm and the room was not ready despite a 3pm check in. Hasn't been a huge deal to me as the wait has normally only been 20-30 minutes and the staff has been friendly and shown a desire to be helpful. This area is getting a lot of new business from the Oil and Gas industry so the hotels are all experiencing a boom in occupancy, espcially from rig workers. I've had to book 1-2 weeks in advance just about every time I've come up to Indiana.
Overall for the money this is probably one of the best hotels to stay in for this area, especially if you are a choice hotels member or a member of AAA, you can normally get a decent room rate if you book a week or two in advance that is way lower than the Comfort Inn and you'll get a much better quality stay. The only hotel I've stayed in that was nicer was the Hampton, but it's not worth it for what you have to pay for. Would stay away from the Holiday Inn as well, since that is where the majority of the oil rig workers are staying and they tend to be loud and rowdy and up at all hours of the night carrying on.
Room Tip: The Jacuzzi suites are nice, but the tub is very small. If you are over 5'-8" you won't...
