"The young couple was very accommodating and friendly. They made sure we had what we needed for the night..it's a 200 year old building and a lot of history there. The only problems we had was bar/band noise that kept us up most of the night and I had an early triathlon to do and no breakfast provided. We went to McDonald's as soon as it was open.. I have to give them young couple kudos for trying to preserve history and renovate the hotel. A few minor inconveniences for us but we had a nice time visiting Lock Haven."
