The location was amazing, surrounded by restaurants and shopping, right in the heart of town!
Right up the street, in walking distance from Penn State College.
The rooms were great with lots of space and clean.
The cleanliness and amenities were so much better than expected!
This will definitely be the place to stay next time we are on State College visiting my son!

We had one issue with our room, the HVAC system was so loud we could not sleep, however we called the front desk and were moved to a new suite immediately and given a credit. I always appreciate when a hotel acts quickly to fix a problem onsite, was impressed with the staff and management here. Otherwise this hotel is awesome on all other elements of our stay.

Room was really comfortable, staff really friendly. Hotel is a little bit older though, noticed some wear and tear through the halls and around the doors. Otherwise our stay (with our dog too) overall was quite lovely!

Clean, close proximity to PSU; purpose of visit. Kitchenette was a plus, along w/ full size fridge/freezer. Wasn't excessively noisy downtown, but there were moments w/ racing cars and loud crowds; to be expected w/ location where it's at. Didn't last all night

The hotel was nice. Great central location, with an easy walk to campus. Nothing special, a standard hotel, but very clean and pleasant staff. I loved the complimentary aromatherapy hand soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and body wash. Not much in the way of amenities otherwise. I was disappointed to have to pay extra for parking in a garage as there was no street parking option. No breakfast included or even on site dining. The price was reasonable for what it was
