Top Downtown State College Hotel Reviews

Nittany Budget Motel

8/10 Good

"Room was clean. Delivered a continental breakfast. Room is not fancy but it was clean and sufficient for our quick trip."

Sleep Inn State College near Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"Everybody was very nice who worked there. Lovely lovely people. it was very clean well maintained and kept. I just wish that the lobby was a little bit bigger so they had couches to watch the rest of the whiteout game. But pleasantly surprised at this hotel."

Hyatt Place State College

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice and the check-in was friendly, helpful and quick. The common areas were clean and lovely - the morning breakfast was outstanding. Best included breakfast I've ever had. The room was slightly lacking in that there were crumbs all over the couch and some on the floor, as well as a broken and hanging cabinet door covering the mini-fridge. We only had a half of a roll of toilet paper with no extra rolls available. I would stay here again, but I'd suggest that the room be a little more prepared for guests. Lastly, I wish that two full bottles of water were provided in the room."
