The Penn Stater was close to the places I wanted to visit. It is an older facility but fairly well maintained. Clean and ample parking. I just needed a place to sleep, it worked.

We have always stayed at Penn Stater when we have been to State College but this visit our room was very musty smelling - it seemed to be coming from the bathroom. The rooms need to be renovated - they are not valued at the price we paid for the room. I will have to say that your staff were extremely friendly and apologetic about our stay. They offered a meal voucher at your restaurant which was excellent! I appreciated the free drink tickets as well!

Staff was very friendly and helpful. The hotel and all rooms were very clean and had beautiful outside areas to sit and relax. On the downside, the bed and pillows were uncomfortable. The toiletries provided by the hotel were all masculine smelling (Warm Oak). I wish the scent would have been something more neutral.

Always a good stay and accessible to PSU. Do wish the walls weren’t so thin and people were more courteous to allow others to rest. Am sure to return again!
