Top Downtown State College Hotel Reviews

Graduate by Hilton State College

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff, friendly & pleasantly accommodating. It’s slightly I’m sorry on the far end of the downtown vibe of College Ave but not that out of the way if one doesn’t mind the walk."

The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center

10/10 Excellent

"Loved our stay at the Penn Stater! It was close to campus and all of the essential places, while also being far enough away from campus to feel calm and serene. The facility was expertly maintained, and very clean. Our room looked like it had been recently renovated with an updated bathroom and updated room decor. The rooms were clean— clean bathroom, clean bed space, linens were clean, and the floor was clean. The soap also smells really good! Great stay… 10/10, would stay again!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Burnham/Lewistown

10/10 Excellent

"Sheila on the 2nd shift of the day we arrived was most helpful, friendly, and made sure our needs were met. She is awesome! So was the morning lady the day we checked out (missed getting her name, my fault)! AWESOME facility, great staff, tasty breakfast! Highly recommend!"

Wyndham Garden State College

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was very nice. The room clean, beds very comfortable, and nice linens. Breakfast is served in an actual restaurant and while the usual eggs, protein, cereal and fruit there is a pancake machine which turns out small but very good pancakes in about a minute. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner and has a very nice bar. We did not have the opportunity to try it out but the menu looked decent and the bar has a daily happy hour. The location is about 15 minutes from campus and downtown with lots of restaurants, bars, and shopping. We would definitely stay there again when visiting our daughter."

Holiday Inn Express State College at Williamsburg Square by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. Savanna was especially helpful and went above and beyond to help me find a great restaurant for dinner. The friendly, attentive service really made a difference and was greatly appreciated. I would definitely stay here again!"
