The Nittany Lion Inn
The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center
"This was the first time we stayed here since the construction. Unfortunately we did not get to enjoy and explore the hotel. We were exhausted and went right up to shower and bed and woke up watch some tv then we had to leave. From what we saw it was very nice and inviting. The staff is always great:-) ..."

Toftrees Golf Resort
"This is the only hotel in State college area that does not allow an early check-in. We like to have an early check-in.... in the summer so we can enjoy the pool. It's also very musty smelling and outdated. They also shut down the workout room at 8:00. No thanks"

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center
"The first room I was given was dirty, with mold on the ceiling and wall paper coming off. I was switched to another room that was in good shape. The personnel was helpful, but I don’t think I would stay there again."
