  Now, as you read this review, remember, I'm rating based on the level of hotel and location.  You can't compare a hotel like the BW in Bradford, PA, to hotels in more urban areas. For what it is, this is a 4 star hotel, for us.
  
  We arrived super early (10 am) and were still able to check in.  That's awesome!  The woman at the front desk was pleasant enough, but did seem a bit harried/distracted.  Because we're in Bradford PA, we upgraded to the King jacuzzi suite because it was still cheaper than a standard hotel room most places.
  
  The room is huge, w/a king sized bed, 2 nightstands/lamps, 2 chairs, and a bureau w/a flat screen in the "bedroom" and a loveseat, chair, 2 end tables/lamps, a desk/computer chair, and bureau w/flat screen in the other room, with the *jacuzzi tub* a step up on tile, w/a mini frig and microwave, behind the living room.  The bathroom has a sink, decent counter space, toilet, and a tub/shower combo (no exhaust fan).  
  
  The jacuzzi filled and drained quickly, but is not well insulated and doesn't hold heat very long.  Unfortunately, the jacuzzi is not situated so you can see either TV while soaking.  
  
  The room appeared clean enough (in a place like this, I prefer not to do too close of an inspection), though the carpet is a bit worn and pulling up.
  
  The AC units worked well (no thermostat in the room, they are set in unit w/knobs).  
  
  The internet is spotty and cuts out frequently.  Our biggest issues w/the room were there are no outlets near the bed for device charging and the annoyance of the spotty (though FREE) WiFi...
  
  The fitness center is large (physically) and has 2 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, a recumbent bike, a stepper, and a universal gym.  There are towels, a water cooler, and wet wipes.   A rack of free weights would be a wonderful addition.  This equipment is quite old, but still usable.  There are no dedicated spots on the U-gym for shoulders or bis (they claim the bench press takes care of it; but there's not way to either shrug or change it to military press), but it's better than nothing.  I also just read in the hotel info (though we were not told at check in), that the local Y will honor your room key and id for a day pass if you can't make this work.  
  
  There is a free breakfast; I did not partake, but my husband said it was "fine".
  
  There is a grocery store, CVS, liquor store, fast food, and numerous bars w/in walking distance.  Upon check in, we received one drink voucher (no more than $3) at the lounge, but we didn't use it because the lounge doesn't open until 4.  
  
  There are vending machines (drinks) and each floor (and ice on the 1st and 3rd).  On the main floor, there are both Pepsi and Coke vending machines, as well as a food vending machine.  The drinks are $1.25 for a 20 oz bottle (that's less than I paid at Sheetz on the way here) and ALL of the snacks in the food vending (candy, nuts, chips), were under $1.  
  
  If you stay here, eat at Beefeaters (a 2 min/3 block walk); it's great!

  Better Internet than the comfort inn next door, and superior breakfast also. Plus a free drink ticket upon checkin... As long as your drink is under $3, which is kind of funny.
