Washington PA looks pretty grubby from the highway. Fortunately, my wife is a great researcher, and found the Spring Hill Suites for us. It's right off the highway, but is a calm and clean oasis. The rooms are brand new, clean, and wll appointed. The lobby is very nice. There's a nice pool and a workout center.
The best things about this hotel is the staff. The adults went out to eat, and we brought back a hamburger for my son. No ketchup! I went down stairs and requested some, and it was cheerfully retrieved for me by a maintainance man! I had insomnia, and read in the lobby from 2-4 am. The woman at the front desk cleaned and straightened the whole time, except when she spent 20 minutes helping a man who was a bit of a tool. The hotel was full, but the woman at the desk patiently helped him find a vacancy at another hotel. When we were leaving, I was walking toward the door carrying several bags. The cleaning lady held open two doors for me! This is a staff that knows how to treat a guest.
Another hint -- my wife found the Union Cafe in Washington. It's an excellent restaurant with reasonable prices. It gets you away from the dreck at the roadway, and lets you see the heart of Washington PA, which is actually quite nice. Try the fried zuchini.
