Most notable is that although this hotel was full w/ lots of families all weekend, the staff was very friendly and always helpful, from the front desk to housekeeping to the cafe. Our room had...

The hotel lobby is very nice. The rooms are the older Courtyard style and are starting to some some wear. The room I was in was a Kind Jacuzzi room. The room has a balcony on it as well, along with two chairs and a small table. The room was of good size, had 32" flat panel TV (the channels... More

We stayed one night for a college visit. Lobby and bar area are great. We had connecting rooms with our kids and the doors were not able to remain open so it was awkward opening them all each time we passed thru and they were not prop-able so a little frustrating. Not bad but could be better as it wasn't... More

I stayed at Courtyard by Marriott State College recently and was pleasantly surprised. The hotel was very clean and modern, Starbucks-brand coffee and tea is available (along with complimentary), indoor pool, gym and even a little locker room (in case you arrive early and no rooms are ready and you need to change). Even though it is off-campus, the drive... More

We stayed here while visiting my grandparents. It was our first time traveling with our infant son and they were so kind to us. They set up a pack-n-play and gave him a stuffed animal, which they do for all the kids. They also gave us a room on the top floor far from the elevator to help with noise.... More

There are lots of hotel choices in State College. The Courtyard has a good location...close to Penn State and across the parking lot from a Ruby Tuesdays restaurants with a fresh salad bar. The staff is the best part of this hotel, especially the hard-working young woman at the front desk who was there when I came in after a... More
