The Highlands
The Highlands might not have many top sights, but Pegula Ice Arena and What-A-Blast Extreme Laser Tag are two attractions nearby that you can check out.

Hyatt Place State College
When you arrive, be aware that you need to go up one floor to check in. (It's a little off putting.) But the rooms are clean and spacious, the exercise room adequate and they offer a decent and extensive breakfast! The location is ideal.

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, State College (Penn State Area), PA
Price too high though for just a nice hotel

Hotel State College
I enjoyed my time, the bed was comfortable and the new renovations were beautiful. I would say it’s worth over $500 though. It was a basic king layout, no suite and It was very loud from the bars downstairs overall 8/10
