Everything about our stay was wonderful, from the professionalism and courtesy of the staff, to the comfort and cleanliness of our room. The gentleman at the front desk helped us make reservations at Panorama, the in-house restaurant and wine bar which was outstanding! This was our first stay at the Penns View, and it most definitely will not be our last!
