We love the Penn Stater. Been staying there since 2018. It is “newly renovated” though the room seemed to be 95% finished w the bathroom still needing work. Good restaurants on site. Complimentary coffee in lobby. Ample parking.

Just one restaurant, but it was fine for breakfast.
Ali, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Despite being under construction, the staff were very kind and helpful, and the food in the bar/lounge was excellent! The stay was very quiet and the bed was incredibly comfortable. My husband and I are looking for the same bed to buy for at home. It is a very convenient drive to any place on the Penn State campus or downtown State College, as well as shopping and restaurants that are on the outskirts. It was a great stay and a really great price. We will definitely stay again!

We really enjoyed our stay. The hotel was a little dated, but they are doing renovations, so I'm sure it will be extra lovely! The deluxe double was very spacious for our family! Will definitely look at staying again!!

Beautiful property Super friendly staff Breakfast was a bit bland for $20 but it was off season with very few people so it’s understandable We forgot an item in the room - staff was super friendly and prompt in getting item from room to front desk for pick up
