Top Whipple Dam State Park Hotel Reviews

Toftrees Golf Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms are clean, restaurant was great."

Wyndham Garden State College

10/10 Excellent

"Great place, we’ll be back! Breakfast was great, lots of options. Room was clean and spacious. We are ate at the Restaurant on site and although the food was good, we were there for 2.5 hrs for sandwiches, no app..very slow, non-attentive staff, great ambiance outside!"

Hyatt Place State College

8/10 Good

"The hotel was very nice and the check-in was friendly, helpful and quick. The common areas were clean and lovely - the morning breakfast was outstanding. Best included breakfast I've ever had. The room was slightly lacking in that there were crumbs all over the couch and some on the floor, as well as a broken and hanging cabinet door covering the mini-fridge. We only had a half of a roll of toilet paper with no extra rolls available. I would stay here again, but I'd suggest that the room be a little more prepared for guests. Lastly, I wish that two full bottles of water were provided in the room."
