Top Pennsylvania State University Recreation Area Hotel Reviews

The Nittany Lion Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Another excellent stay at the NLI. Can’t beat the location, quality of the guest rooms or variety of amenities. Just wish they had more “walk-in dining”. If you’re going to dine here (at Lionne) - make a reservation!!! They don’t have room for walk-in’s. Joe’s cafe - excellent coffee shop. Love the lobby spaces and don’t miss the courtyard for spring, summer and fall."

Nittany Budget Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Great quiet place. Ten minutes from the campus. Also sells beer and a restaurant next door. Trust me it's all good. Breakfast too but basically but hey it's free. You can't go wrong here."

"The King Corner room is absolutely amazing!! The location is unmatched and the variety of restaurants and bars on the floors below the hotel cover anything you’re in the mood for. Highly recommend!!"

Rodeway Inn State College - near University

10/10 Excellent

"I truly enjoyed my stay at this location! 😊 The convenience, accessibility, and overall experience made it a great choice for my time in the area. Once I got off the bus, it was less than a 17-minute straight walk to the room, which made getting around so much easier. There was a CVS directly across the street, Walmart less than 20 minutes away, and a Giant grocery store approximately 13 minutes away. There were also plenty of fast-food spots and restaurants nearby to accommodate different tastes and preferences. 🛍️🍽️ The check-in process was smooth, easy, and completely hassle-free! 🙌 Everything came together seamlessly, making my stay that much more enjoyable. This is officially my new go-to spot whenever I’m in the area working on productions! 🎬✨ Much love and appreciation to the management team for helping make this a pleasant experience. Wishing you all continued success! Ase! 🙏💙"

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"The rooms need to be updated, and the heater was really bad. It never really got warm. What I really think is lousy is how much they charged for that weekend- I know that it was PSU Family weekend (that's why we were there), but to charge literally MORE than 3X the regular rate is unforgiveable! But the room was very comfortable!"

Graduate by Hilton State College

10/10 Excellent

"Close to town"

Residence Inn by Marriott State College

10/10 Excellent

"The property was close to campus and restaurants. The room was clean and the breakfast was delicious. I enjoyed the easy check in and there were no problems about the property. I would definitely come back."
