“Great place to stay if you are at the Conference Center”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

I was attending a business conference AT the Penn Stater. Being on site made it much less of a fuss. The room are clean and spacious, although not the most modern. The beds are comfortable: ask for feather pillows if you prefer a better, softer pillow. The front desk staff is eager to help and accomodate. Most rooms have a frig, but not a microwave (there is, however, one located on each floor). If you can, try to ask for a room that has a nice view; it's a beautiful area.

Room Tip: Ask for an upper fllor, mountain view.

“Great value”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2011

This is the best value I have ever received on a hotel room. For the price I paid, I had excellent service and clean, roomy accomodations. The location is great and easily accessible to everything in State College.

The Penn Stater is located right on campus, you can't beat that...hotel is clean, comfortable and modern with all the amenites you would expect. The room was spacious with a very comfortable king bed. Bathtub was showing a little wear but all in all two thumbs up. Rate was very high though due to Blue & White.

“GREAT experience...will be back!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 March 2011

Had the 'Basketball and Breakfast' package which included a king bed spacious room, tickets (really good seats) to the Ohio State vs Penn State game, complimentary shuttle service to and from Bryce Jordan before and after the game, and a delicious abundant buffet breakfast. Entire staff was cheerful, helpful and courteous. Lunch at Legends, dinner at the Gardens and breakfast at the Gardens (within the hotel) was delicious, carefully prepared. The Gift Shop is well-stocked with every Penn State item you can imagine and then some! The price of the package was too good to believe, but it was the 'real deal'! Definitely will return. A beautiful facility with beautiful staff!! WE ARE......PENN STATE!!!!

“Perfectly acceptable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 February 2011

We were in town for Penn State's THON weekend. My husband's daughter was dancing. THON is held at the Bryce Jordan Center, so this hotel was very convenient by car.

I stayed at the hotel mostly doing work, so I was happy for the free internet and having the lounge and restaurant downstairs. The beer was cold and the food hot and tasty, so I was very pleased. I was also well rested.

The hotel is very big, so I had to hike to my room, and I was not the last room on the hall.

So, over all, an enjoyable experience.
