Scholar State College, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Nice boutique hotel that is very close to campus and eateries"

The Nittany Lion Inn

10/10 Excellent

"My stay at the Nittany Lion Inn was excellent! As one would expect, the location is outstanding as it is within walking distance to most if not all points of interest on campus. The hotel has gone through an extensive renovation and offers very clean and modernized rooms with great amenities. The food at the restaurants on property were all excellent. Overall, as a Penn State alum and frequent visitor to State College I would highly recommend the Nittany Lion Inn!"

"Outstanding"

Sleep Inn State College near Penn State

8/10 Good

"Clean and comfortable room. Air conditioning is a little intense if you’re sitting at the desk and it’s blowing directly on you but otherwise kept the room cool. Breakfast options were decent although not a fan of the coffee. Gym is pretty small and hours limited but at least there is a gym. Bed was comfortable and room a decent size for a short trip. Close to restaurants and campus."
