Top Pennsylvania State University Hotel Reviews

Super 8 by Wyndham State College

10/10 Excellent

"HELPFUL STAFF, CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE ROOMS AND PARKING WAS GREAT"

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center

8/10 Good

"This is a very well-maintained older hotel. Parking is ample. You can get either an inside or outside entry room which I have don't recall seeing before. The rooms are very clean and the beds are perfect for me. The breakfast buffet is well done including hot items. And they have great tv reception, not the grainy pictures that are becoming too common. The only thing that they need to improve it the air conditioning. For some reason, it doesn't cool it just runs. I have stayed there two times with the same issue. In the winter it is no big deal, but in the summer, not so good. The staff is very nice."

Scholar State College, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I was hesitant to stay somewhere that charges for parking BUT it was so easy. You could drive in and out up until 3pm the day of departure all for only $17! It was also so fun being able to walk around, see all the kids enjoying college life. AND delicious FREE coffee in the morning! I think I had three cups! Plus the staff was so welcoming, beautiful rooms and decorated in Penn State Colors. Definitely will stay there again."

Graduate by Hilton State College

10/10 Excellent

"The Graduate is a fantastic property, clean, with amazing mattresses, sheets, and fun decor. We were looking for a boutique experience and this did not disappoint!"

Hampton Inn State College

8/10 Good

"I stayed at the Hampton Inn for a Penn State Football game. The staff was very accommodating and allowed me to check in early due to my early flight arrival. The room was fine, but the breakfast was excellent. Having coffee available in the foyer at other times was also handy. It is in a great location--walking distance to Beaver Stadium. The restaurant and club next door was a bonus."

Hotel State College

10/10 Excellent

"It's the most adorable boutique hotel in state college!"

Residence Inn by Marriott State College

10/10 Excellent
