Graduate by Hilton State College
"Great staff, friendly & pleasantly accommodating. It’s slightly I’m sorry on the far end of the downtown vibe of College Ave but not that out of the way if one doesn’t mind the walk."

"We had a little trouble getting into the room, but the staff were so nice and provided us a complementary drink at the bar and handle the situation perfectly. I will definitely look to stay at the hotel State College first when visiting happy Valley."
