My stay at this motel was a good bargain. The staff was friendly, the bed large and comfy, and the location ensured that it was quiet. The buffet breakfast was pretty darn good for a Best Western. The only shortcoming was that there was no restaurant within walking distance, but I suspect that situation will change within the next year... More

My son will be attending Penn State in the Fall, so we needed to find a hotel that was located close to campus, could accommodate a family of four and was reasonably priced. After reading through the reviews on Trip Advisor of a number of hotels in State College, we decided we'd try this Best Western. The location worked out... More

This is a very nice hotel located just across from the Nittany Mall. We have stayed there several times and have always had a very clean room, nice ammenities and a friendly staff. We have never had a problem with noise or slamming doors. The breakfast area is clean and the hotel is more than adequate for a free breakfast.... More

I also picked this hotel because we were visiting Penn State and it got the top review for the area. The check-in took longer than I was expecting and every time I needed to ask a question, there was a line at the front desk. The room was fine, clean, had a mini-fridge and microwave which I always like to... More

I was planning a trip to Penn State for interviews with my son. I went right with the #1 pick on Tripadvisor. I was disappointed and don't plan on returning. Here's my review: First the Positives: Looked very new, everything was very clean and orderly. Carpeting and hallways were fresh and tidy. The staff was outrageously polite and helpful. The... More

Recently stayed one night while visiting Penn State. The front desk staff were super helpful and friendly. For example, when we asked about local restaurants, they gave us a five page printout of local restaurants, from family restaurants to elegant restaurants, and there were even helpful comments, such as "Rated most health-conscious restaurant in the area". That printout was so... More

This hotel was great in almost every way. Outside is very well maintained and the lobby is very inviting. The front desk people are friendly and very helpful. There was a mix up with putting in what rooms were clean or just refreshed and they quickly resolved the problem and were as apologetic as friendly and welcoming. The room had... More

The hotel is fairly new and clean. It has all of the basics;indoor pool, fitness center, free wifi in room, and free breakfast. The pool is nice for kids, but not something that could be used for laps. The fitness center is pretty basic; two treadmills, one elliptical, and a universal. No stationary bikes. There was a good selection of... More

This is what other hotels should aspire to! While traveling from Michigan to NYC, I used the coupon from the discount publication given to me at the Pa. tourist welcome center with a recommendation from the attendant there.
