While the hotel isn't located in the center of town, it's only a quick drive to the city center which provides a quiet night of sleep!

We had a terrific stay at the Residence Inn! We were there for Pen State's Graduation and had a one BR which was wonderful. Hotel must have been recently updated because it now looks much different than the posted pics. Rooms were modern and spacious great flat screen TVs that swiveled for viewing from the Bedroom or living/kitchen area, great... More

We stayed in a room that had a separate bedroom suite with a sleeper sofa in the living room. Room was clean and comfortable. I wished the bathroom had access from the living room, but you have to walk into the bedroom. Also, the bathroom sink area is open to the bedroom so it makes it a bit inconvenient if... More

Very outdated and dirty hotel. Mirrors had hand prints, bedside tables were sticky, and bathroom floor was sticky. Refrigerator was very laud, and made knocking sounds. Bathroom had bugs; toilet leaked onto floor, and ran all night. Room smelled musty, pictures missing from walls, as well as decoration missing. Pet friendly - means there is a dog barking down the...

Cleanliness is the most important reason for us to stay at the Residence Inn. The hotel is the only one we found that has an outside cleaning/sanitation service for rooms that have had a pet guest. (Other hotels use their regular housekeeping staff.) We want to be in a room that has eliminated all possible signs of a previous pet.... More

As a Marriott Gold Rewards member I have staying in quite a number of Marriotts. However, I have never stayed at a Residence Inn. Well, it certainly was different. I have to say the room was clean and neat but it appeared old. The rooms are suites with kitchenettes. The pull out bed was not made up. The sheets are... More

We have stayed at this hotel twice. My daughter is a Penn State student so we stayed here during her moving in. The hotel rooms are clean and the beds are very comfortable. Very spacious and would certainly accomodate someone for an extended stay. There is a full kitchen, a small living room area and the bedroom area. The first... More

When we arrived at 5 pm, they had a little buffet set up with mini quiches, meatballs, pasta salad, soft drinks and desserts. That was a nice welcome. The room was great --- kitchen, living area with an automatic start fireplace, and a jacuzzi in the bathroom --- we were on the 3rd floor. The breakfast was nice --- waffle... More
