Top State College Hotel Reviews

Best Western Plus University Park Inn & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and nice hotel. Would stay there again"

Scholar State College, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay in the heart of town! The location couldn't be better, with everything within easy reach. The room was comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. The only downside was some noise from people outside, but that's just part of being in a lively town center and I wouldn't hold it against the hotel. I'd definitely stay here again!"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, State College (Penn State Area), PA

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel is very conveniently located for visiting Penn State U and for getting to downtown State College. The room was comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was fine - typical hotel fair. The hotel has a workout room and indoor pool which we did not use. The cookies and coffee at the front entry are a nice touch. With sophomore at Penn State we will very likely stay at Country Inn again."

Hampton Inn State College

10/10 Excellent

"The room is very comfortable, thanks to an HVAC you can completely control, including fan and temperature. It's also as dark as you want it to be, with multiple layers of curtains AND the door has a sweep on the bottom that blocks light. This also dampened noise from the hallway, so we had quiet night's rest. The bed was very comfortable with multiple pillows of reasonable thickness – not the mountains of fluff that bend your neck at a 45 degree angle I've encountered at other hotels! In addition, there were plenty of power outlets, both AC and USB for all your devices, including bedside and at the desk. Other amenities include a large HD TV with multiple streaming services that also rotates, so you can angle it for better viewing. The shower and bathroom where also good, with plenty of water pressure and convenient soap and shampoo dispensers. As a bonus, they serve an included hot breakfast that was more than adequate with oatmeal and make-your-own waffles as the standouts, though I would avoid the "eggs". The only knock was the lukewarm coffee. The location is good, with plenty of free parking and about a 5 minute drive from campus. I also appreciate their Hilton app which allowed us to check-in, unlock our door, and check-out on my iPhone with no need to stop by the front desk."
