Top The Arboretum at Penn State Hotel Reviews

The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and modern"

Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Parking, safe & quiet and clean room."

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

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice stay"

Graduate by Hilton State College

10/10 Excellent

"Such a comfy room and all the fun details and decorations made it feel really special. Amazing location right off campus and close to all the shops and restaurants. Will definitely stay here again next time we are visiting PSU."

Sleep Inn State College near Penn State

8/10 Good

"I went off prior reviews I found and was slightly disappointed. The room was smaller than expected, with a strange smell from the AC unit. Shampoo and conditioner in the shower but no body wash. I also thought the room was on the smaller side. The breakfast choice was not bad, but the eggs were some of the worst I've ever had at a hotel/motel offering free breakfast. I'd stay again, if only for one night and if we had plans to go out for breakfast."

Days Inn by Wyndham Penn State

8/10 Good

"This was more than adequate, very clean, comfortable beds and the staff was very friendly. Would love to come back and stay here if we could when visiting my daughter at Penn State."

Hotel State College

10/10 Excellent

"I hate to say this but I don’t think it’s a secret….. this is easily THE BEST hotel in State College hands down. Boutique style as I call it, but amazing, helpful and friendly staff. Clean facility with the convenience of multiple restaurant and bars attached or on property. I don’t hear a single thing in the guest room AND I’ve been right over college Ave. This is my third visit here in my daughter’s first year at PSU. I will be back for sure."

Comfort Suites State College near Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in. Very comfortable and clean. The staff was super gracious and helpful."

"Extremely clean. Coffee (both Keurig and drip), air conditioned on the top floor. Adequate parking for two cars, but need to be careful around other cars. Awesome dog walking areas. Recommend light blanket instead of duvet in the summer."
