I was at the Super 8 for Penn State's graduation weekend - two nights required, pre-paid. I can't believe that the Super 8 is not the lowest rated hotel in State College. The place was dirty. The room and the elevator smelled. The floor of the elevator was filthy. The tiles and caulking in the bathroom were cracked and blackened.... More

Please accept my sincere apology to you and your family for the unpleasant experience during your last stay in State College. I have met with my department managers on the issues mentioned in your post. After our meeting, the housekeeping supervisor inspected and removed all worn linens, pillows, and blankets. Emphasis has been placed on training all of the housekeeping... More

The hotel was in a very nice area in state college. The woman who checked me in was very nice and showed a lot of professialism! The room was a little outdated but was very clean and did its job. I would stay here again!

I stayed at this hotel, April 20 & 21, 2012. We had connecting rooms 314 & 316. Room 314 was huge with two double bed. Room 316 had a queen bed and a sofa bed, this room also had a Fridge and two burner stove. The hotel staff was wonderful. Continental breakfast was included. Rooms were clean.

As the family of a Penn State student, we have stayed at the Super 8 in State College probably a half-dozen times now. Our previous visit was plagued by service problems, such as missing soap, shampoo, coffee, spare toilet paper and kleenex -- all things that you would expect in your hotel room. And I also mentioned in a previous... More

I stayed at this hotel years ago when it was a 'Best Western' so I knew the layout and area. The price is cheap when the date is not close to a football game. The room is a good size and the bathroom was clean with a good shower. The carpets are so dark you can't tell if they are... More

This is your basic run of the mill motel. Nothing stood out as far as being too bad or too good. You pretty much get what you pay for. This was our first stop on a 51 day cross-country road trip. Decent quality for the price.

I stayed at this hotel because I was taking a one week class, and the hotel was selected by some others in my group. When I first walked in the lobby, it reeked of cigarette smoke and I almost left. I decided to check out the room, and it was fine. It did not smell, and the bedding was comfortable.... More

Thank you for your sincere concern regarding the cigarette smoke smell. I apologize that this was the first smell you encountered when entering the hotel. The smoking section of the hotel is located on the second floor only. To help eliminate the smoke odor, Eco-sphere units have been placed in the elevator and at various locations in the 1st and...

I have very little standards for a hotel room, but this experience was one beyond "standards." I traveled with my colleagues to a science conference at Penn State. We needed convenience so we chose the nearby Super 8. Our stay was all but convenient, however. While the location was great (a Perkin's is right across the parking lot), the hotel... More
