Bar area not as nice as usual. Always have breakfast but not this time. Pricey and no buffet. TV got poor... More

Staying here for business. Rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. Free Coffee, Tea and USA Today paper. Close to shopping and food. Staff is great. Did not use the pool or Bistro. Will use again When I am here on business.

My son is going to Penn State. We stayed when we visited the campus. The hotel is quiet, clean and comfortable. They have free coffee and tea in the lobby, and the pool is quite nice and large for a Courtyard. It is really close to Penn State. The staff is helpful and friendly. The breakfast is served quickly and... More

There really aren't any great options in State College I guess and if there are, I haven't found them. This might be one of the better but still just ok at that. I come here to visit family and I don't suppose anyone really comes here to vacation so this property should meet your needs. They have a little bar... More
