Stayed here for a night when attending a conference in State College. Location is absolutely fantastic. The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was absolutely amazing too. The only issue was the water pressure in the bathroom. It was too low. But overall, I had a great stay and would definitely recommend this hotel.
Location gets 10 stars. Loved our stay. Felt like being enrolled again with all the fun without the classes.
No complaints. Everything was great. Location is amazing. Wish there was an indoor pool but not a deal breaker:) staff was accommodating to my service animal. Stayed there Spring 2024
Location is great! Attached to a restaurant and Target for an easy stay. Also close to down town for easy shopping. Rooms are standard, with no complaints. Always my go to for stays in State College.
I am currently a student at Penn State and studying during finals week. The staff is awesome and always so kind. I saw red head kid get kicked out because he was causing a huge problem in the lobby. He was being obnoxious and while he was studying and distracting everyone. I saw him quickly write a review and gave this place 1 star. I wanted to clear the air and say that his review is completely false and he is not telling the full story. I love this place and will definitely be back again and again. This is a great place to stay/study because the staff always gives the same respect that you give them and their guests.
We loved this. Just needed a quick stay but it exceeded our expectations. Staff was great. Parking was easy and included with our room. Hotel was quiet but close to campus and downtown state college. My teenagers loved the breakfast which was a little better than the usual complementary breakfast. The morning coffee wasn’t that strong but the Target Nextdoor had a Starbucks. This is our current favorite place to stay on campus. We’ll be back for future visits!
Clean hotel, convenient location. Big rooms and free breakfast. Would recommend!
Steve at the valet parking is GREAT! He is so great to everyone who comes by and definitely deserves a raise! He made this experience 10x better. Very sociable guy and makes you feel very welcomed.
