Abigail saved the day!
Frequent visitor to State College. Visiting for a family member funeral. 3 rooms, 1 of which is for 2 handicap seniors in a handicap accessible room. Beds, from the online pictures, looked to be on wooden platforms. I called a week prior to confirm that the handicap room was NOT on platforms in that I needed access under the beds for a sit-to-stand device. Was told that the handicap room beds were not on platforms. Upon check-in the handicap room was on a wooden platform with no under bed access. Abigail, at the front desk, was a hero. Too often you get a silent "sorry, sucks to be you" attitude from people. Abigail showed empathy and went above and beyond to help us find an acceptable room. HIGH compliments to this young lady. We ended up finding a "work-around" for the room we had which saved the day for our elderly parents mourning the loss of a brother. Love the Penn Stater, highly recommend everything about it. Great environment! Great location! Didn't get to visit the Legends sports bar or the gift shop but I will on my next visit. Told everyone at the front desk how Abigail was such a superstar!
