I have to begin by admitting that I stayed at the Atherton Hotel somewhat against my will. I typically stay at one of the University owned properties (the Penn Stater or the Nittany Lion Inn), and I particularly like the Nittany Lion Inn's location on campus. However, I was attending a meeting in the Atherton Hotel, and it really just... More

Like a lot of Alumni I love coming back to PSU. This hotel is the best place to stay. It's clean, convenient, and lovely. Perfect for a girls weekend. I always try to get a room here because its my favorite hotel!

Lovely older hotel in a time warp. Accommodations satisfactory with wallpaper overload Dining room pricey but convenient. Located near stores, many bars and dining options available. On site parking with elevator access to all levels.

Our room was very clean, warm, and traditionally decorated. There is a Keurig coffee maker and coffee in the room which... More

Overall, I will not stay here again as it was very disapointing! Rooms are tired and in need of a major redesign/cleaning-carpet was stained, light was not working on desk, clock radio did not work properly,mold in shower, etc. and there were no other rooms available so moving to another one was out. Please do not even get me started... More
