Nice location, clean room, good omelettes at the breakfast buffet. They have a small bar that allows you to relax without the crowd after a busy day. One of my first choices when staying in the area. More

Upon arriving at this property I was greeted with a smile, a bottle of water and offered fresh, warm cookies. Not a bad start, From here things began to fall. The room #240, had a musty smell. The beds were very small and for me rather uncomfortable. They used some type of lumpy foam matress cover that was rather annoying.... More

Wrong Hotel! I will ask Tripadvisor to remove this review. I believe you stayed at a proerty just down the street on East College Avenue. In response to your review, we do not have a room number 240, our room numbers end at 229. Our fitness center has two, not one, treadmills in addition to cardio and cycling equipment. We... More

Nothing more disappointing then when you find out your hotel has walked you to another property. We have a contract with this hotel and and they decided to give somebody else our rooms. I really hate when people go back on their word. Hopefully this won't happen again. More

On our behalf, we contacted your company well in advance of your arrival to advise them we would be relocating you to another property. We also provided... More

Arrived at this Hilton Garden Inn, the car port and the surrounding landscape were very nicely done, well maintained and clean. This hotel sits in close proximity to the Penn State Campus. I entered the hotel and was greeted by a very friendly desk clerk and check in was quick and efficient. The lobby is bright, cheery and full of... More

I stayed here twice while visiting Penn State and can say that it was a good overall experience. The hotel really does a great job of staying clean and well maintained. I'm a bit of a stickler for cleanliness and I enjoy staying at a hotel where I find the carpets, walls, furniture and common areas well-kept. The rooms have... More

We stayed here overnight on a weekend. Check-in was quick and friendly and our room was clean, comfortable and with plenty of fresh towels. Included a room mini-fridge and microwave. Very comfortable beds, plenty of outside parking. Close and convenient to Penn State campus and the downtown area. Will definitely stay here again. More

I am pleased to hear a "stickler" for cleanliness has given a positive review for our high standards of cleanliness and maintenance. Thanks! The fancy bed you refer to is our Hilton Garden Sleep System bed. It allows you to adjust the firmness on both sides of the bed. Thank you again for your kind comments and staying with us. More

I have stayed here several times over the years since my parents live in State College and I now have a son at Penn State. My latest stay was in April with my high school age son for a few days over his spring break. The rooms are clean. Service is fine, and housekeeping seems to be outstanding. The front... More
