Sleep Inn State College near Penn State

10/10 Excellent

"1"

Hyatt Place State College

10/10 Excellent

"Room was very clean. Beds were comfortable. Location was close to many things. Breakfast was delicious."

Scholar State College, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"I was hesitant to stay somewhere that charges for parking BUT it was so easy. You could drive in and out up until 3pm the day of departure all for only $17! It was also so fun being able to walk around, see all the kids enjoying college life. AND delicious FREE coffee in the morning! I think I had three cups! Plus the staff was so welcoming, beautiful rooms and decorated in Penn State Colors. Definitely will stay there again."

Adorable 3 Bedroom Walking Distance to Stadium & Campus

10/10 Excellent

"We can’t say enough about this property. It’s quiet, clean, pet friendly, and keeps us coming back as repeat guests - 4 yrs now! It has everything you could need for a game day weekend, or just a weekend in Happy Valley."

PSU 4BR/2Full Bath Home 1/4 Mile Walk to Campus, .7 miles to Beaver Stadium

10/10 Excellent

"Found this gem fairly late in the process for football/tailgate weekend. It is a lovely, clean home with lots of recent upgrades, including new mattresses and pillows. It is tastefully decorated and was very comfortable for our group of 6 adults and 2 kids. It’s in a lovely quiet tree-lined neighborhood close to the west end of campus. And the backyard is awesome - we wish our stay had been longer to take advantage of it more. Oh, and the very gracious host provided hospitality baskets, water bottles and boxes of tissues in the bedrooms as well as the living room. We’re already planning our next visit and only hope that word about this one doesn’t get out so much that it gets booked out months in advance!"
