The room updates are very nice and clean, but there is nothing in the rooms to show if there is room service any more. The conference rooms are FREEZING.

Everything was beautiful and clean. Our room was recently renovated and was top-notch. We are Penn State parents to our freshman, so we plan to stay here frequently. Loved it!

Very disappointing

Overwhelming smell of mold in the room. My wife and I woke up with headaches .Mentioned it to front desk, not to get a discount, but to inform them and they could not have been less bothered. Very disappointing stay to say the least.

The hotel itself is nice. Our room was spacious with a nice Mountain View. However, we encountered several issues with the bathroom. The sink and faucet look but the water splashes water out of the sink all over because of where the water hits the sink. There was no hot water in the shower. The lights in the bathroom couldn’t be turned on during our second night. There is no shop or restaurant nearby within walking distance, so if you come to State College without a car, the location of this hotel is something to consider. The hotel offers shuttle service to anywhere within 5 miles of distance.

Unnecessary accident.

Visit disrupted because a pothole at the hotel entrance caused my sister to fall and badly sprain her ankle and left hand. This was completely preventable. I insisted the hotel place a cone on the hole to prevent future accidents. They did. The staff was great but management should quickly compensate my sister for damages.
