State College 2 Stars Hotels

"Perfect hotel for visiting Penn State. Great and friendly staff"

"My husband and I stayed here for a weekend while we visited our daughter for her sororities parent's weekend. TBH, I chose here because the price was super affordable and had pretty good reviews. I was very much impressed. It's dated to be sure, with and older style of decor and the bathroom could use some ventilation because when you take a shower, it steams the whole room. The beds were super comfy, soft and clean (we always check for bed bugs), which provided a wonderful nights sleep. There a fridge with a small freezer and a microwave in the room. Fairly spacious layout. Upon checking in, you get a piece of paper where you check off what you want for breakfast (be aware that the bagels are not toasted, but you can warm them in the microwave which was just as good). In the obby, there is a bottle shop for all your boozy needs. its 4 mins away from an amazing cidery, 12 minutes away from PSU's beaver stadium, and 10 minutes away from a bunch of stores. Next door is a restaurant. Couldn't hear a peep from anything outside. very peaceful and we will stay here again"

"AC worked well Room was clean. Yes, Outdated but just fine and for price was worth it."

"This is one of those limited staff hotels. The kind where there is no one at the front desk. You can call or text someone. But the lobby is empty. There is no one to help with luggage. There is no elevator. I walked my own luggage up 3 flights. At checkin there was someone who showed us to the room. I suppose I could have asked her to grab my luggage but at that point it seemed easier to deal with it myself. After that I never saw them again. There is no parking. It's even difficult to stop outside to unload as you would block the street. You need to park at a garage 2 blocks away and pay an extra 20$ a day. They will not validate. It does say that in the Expedia description but it's buried. The biggest issue with limited staff is there is an after hours door separate from the main door. I was told after 11:00 to use that door. However, one night the main door closed early and I was literally locked in the building at 10:00 p.m. walking around a dark lobby. Looking for the after hours door to get outside. When I posted a mid review for checking on Expedia someone from the staff reached out via text and asked what they could do to help. I explained how I was locked in when they closed the door early and that I was disappointed about parking and lack of an elevator. They never responded.... The room was fine. Clean but small. The location was great. Walking distance from the Penn State campus. But I seem to be running into these do-it-yourself hotels more and more. "
