Springhill Suites by Marriott State College
Was a very nice hotel room. Worked out great for my husband and myself and our 23 year old son. We did not try the breakfast, since we had prior plans, so can't review on that. Hotel was very clean and had all necessary ammenities.

Hampton Inn & Suites State College at Williamsburg Square
Facility was wonderful. Clean, quiet and affordable. However, the description of the amenities lists "free airport shuttle service". It doe not state free shuttle service after 8 am. I chose them because the area is nice AND they offered shuttle service. I paid for an Uber.
