Hotel State College

8/10 Good

"The property and staff were amazing. The influence from being above a club with music is less than ideal. The thumping of the bass kept me up for a bit, be aware of this especially if you plan on visiting on a weekend."

Days Inn by Wyndham Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice and clean hotel. Convenient location and friendly staff members. Thank you."

Super 8 by Wyndham State College

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very nice, attractively decorated and clean. Staff were helpful- front desk gave me a perfect room positioned for someone travelling with a dog. It was actually quiet considering where it was. A staff member on break helped me get in a side entrance when the scanner wasn’t reading my room key. There could be improvements made to the complimentary breakfast , possibly a protein choice? Breakfast seemed very limited."
