Very outdated and dirty hotel. Mirrors had hand prints, bedside tables were sticky, and bathroom floor was sticky. Refrigerator was very laud, and made knocking sounds. Bathroom had bugs; toilet leaked onto floor, and ran all night. Room smelled musty, pictures missing from walls, as well as decoration missing. Pet friendly - means there is a dog barking down the...

Cleanliness is the most important reason for us to stay at the Residence Inn. The hotel is the only one we found that has an outside cleaning/sanitation service for rooms that have had a pet guest. (Other hotels use their regular housekeeping staff.) We want to be in a room that has eliminated all possible signs of a previous pet.... More

As a Marriott Gold Rewards member I have staying in quite a number of Marriotts. However, I have never stayed at a Residence Inn. Well, it certainly was different. I have to say the room was clean and neat but it appeared old. The rooms are suites with kitchenettes. The pull out bed was not made up. The sheets are... More

We have stayed at this hotel twice. My daughter is a Penn State student so we stayed here during her moving in. The hotel rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. Very spacious and would certainly accomodate someone for an extended stay. There is a full kitchen, a small living room area and the bedroom area. The first... More

When we arrived at 5 pm, they had a little buffet set up with mini quiches, meatballs, pasta salad, soft drinks and desserts. That was a nice welcome. The room was great --- kitchen, living area with an automatic start fireplace, and a jacuzzi in the bathroom --- we were on the 3rd floor. The breakfast was nice --- waffle... More

My extended stay (12 days) was disappointing. About half the nights were disturbed by noisy neighbors overhead. If you must stay here, insist on a third floor room. Room furnishings were frumpy and worn compared with newer Residence Inns. The staff was mostly accommodating and helpful, though the front desk staff didn't even ask how I felt about my stay... More

Dear dwd1, I’m very sorry to hear your stay with us wasn’t enjoyable; I regret not knowing about your noisy neighbors as we would have promptly relocated you to quieter room. Please accept my sincere apologies; I understand how frustrating that must have been. I hope this experience doesn’t discourage you from staying with Residence Inn in the future; we... More

I would certainly stay here again. I liked the location, on the edge of town, and everything about the room was comfortable. More

We recently visited State College for a YHEC state event. I loved that it was so close to town, campus and the Scotia shooting range where we spent most of Saturday. We did make a stop both nights we stayed at the creamery on campus. It's to die for. Lines moved quickly and they're open late. When we arrived the... More

The staff of this hotel was among the most helpful that I have ever encountered in my lifetime of traveling. They made sure that our rollaway bed was in our room by late afternoon (hours before we had arrived, I know this because I called ahead to confirm the reservation at about 5 p.m. and to ask about the rollaway...

Thanks so much for taking the time to review our hotel and for recognizing Liz at the front desk – she’s very dedicated to taking care of our guests and this made her day. We agree that Faccia Luna is an excellent choice for dinner, glad you enjoyed it! We do wish you had mentioned the temperature in your room... More
