Sleep Inn State College near Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"enjoyed my stay"

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center

6/10 Okay

"The host at the restaurant was great. but...We started in an outside room that had a very old decrepit bathroom. The ceiling was patched in one corner and the floor, and not very well done. The molding in that corner was peeling away from the wall and splintered at the bottom and very discolored. The tub was old and cruddy looking although I do believe it was cleaned well, just old and damaged. The bathroom also had a bad rotten egg like smell. Our party had interior rooms so we asked to change rooms which was handled well. The new room was much better. Although the sliding door in the shower came off the track the second day. Also a very loud fan in the air system. We turned that off. Fortunately the seasonal temperatures were ok. Last thing. There were infant swimming lessons being given in the pool outside the room where an infant SCREAMED and cried for an hour. The noise was very disturbing (we were trying to nap), as well as upsetting! Poor baby!! The staff offered to relocate us. Because of our earlier room experience, we declined. We were told the swimming instructor had a contract with the hotel and nothing could be done. Apparently that was more important than the guests' comfort (and he poor baby)."

Comfort Suites State College near Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"I had not stayed at the Comfort Suites since before the Pandemic. The last time I attempted to stay here, the room smelled so bad that I had to leave and go to another motel. This time, everything was great. I had requested an upper floor room when i booked online and the front desk person not only gave me a top floor room, but one that also farthest from the rooms that were occupied by a wedding party so it would be quieter. When i got to the room I was pleasantly surprised. The room had been updated since the last time I was there. When i walked in the room there was no strong smell of cleaning fluid that you get with some motels. It was just a clean looking and smelling suite with two beds and a sofa, mini fridge, with a freezer section, microwave and a wet bar and coffee maker. The beds were comfortable with pillow top mattresses and two soft pillows and two harder pillows on each bed. The large wall mounted TV had a great picture. The bathroom was clean and had a good shower. Breakfast was very good. Two waffle machines, eggs and sausage. The woman working the breakfast made sure everything was promptly refilled when necessary. Finally, when it was time to leave, i asked the front desk if it was possible to get an hour later check out. Linnell at the front desk, was happy to do it and asked if there was anything else he could do for me. He was very friendly and helpful, as were all the staff I had contact with. I would highly recommend and stay here again."

Days Inn by Wyndham Penn State

8/10 Good

"Decent hotel for the price. Staff was pleasant, room was clean. Bathroom was a strange triangular layout and a little tight, but worked fine. Always wish hotel bathrooms have ventilation fans, and this one did not (most don't - still don't know why). Room was relatively dark so that was nice. Breakfast was a little lack-luster - just some muffins, bagels, cereal, waffles and coffee and juice. No fruit or eggs or protein. Was fine though as we planned to go across the street to Waffle Shop anyway. Plenty of parking and good location on Atherton."

Graduate by Hilton State College

4/10 Poor

"This hotel could use some upgrades, especially for the price I paid for my stay. Some areas for improvement: 1. Outside signage - I had to circle the block a couple times to find the driveway entrance. Was made more difficult due to the small sign and construction next door. 2. Menu in restaurant is limited and could use updating. 3. There was ONE person working the restaurant on Sunday morning and she was overwhelmed - typically a busy time for breakfast with people checking out, and there was a girls sports team staying the weekend. 4. Upgrade to SMART TVs so people can use streaming services on the tv not their personal devices (if they brought any) 5. Upgrade charging ports to USB-C 5. Shower was nice but floor was very slick - falling hazard especially for older guests. 6. Elevators were absurdly slow and wait times were too long considering three elevators for a relatively small hotel. 7. Put real coffee makers in rooms. 8. Rooms were nicely appointed but common areas could use upgrades."
