Front desk Staff was very friendly and welcoming. The coffee bar was fantastic. But there was no elevator which was surprising and Bathrooms were dated and had rust stains throughout even in tub. Nice location and property close to PSU.

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center
The room was good it was only the halls and lobby that were a bit old looking. Odd layout but we had a good stay and the rooms were much nicer then the outside hallways.

Hyatt Place State College
The hotel was nice with a great location. The staff was friendly and attentive. The room was clean, but I noticed mold at the bottom of the toilet and around the very top of the sink. It wasn’t evident at first glance. It would not keep me from staying there again.
