Top Downtown State College Hotel Reviews

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, State College (Penn State Area), PA

10/10 Excellent

"The first thing I noticed as I entered, the hotel was how clean it appeared. The staff at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful. Upon entering my room, I noticed that it appeared very clean. Everything was in place and very neatly put together such as the towels were stacked nicely under the counter. The pillows on the bed were arranged evenly. The curtains were pulled back to allow the sunlight to come through the window. Breakfast was provided. It was presented. Well tasted good. The hot food was hot and the staff there was very pleasant and it was rewarding to be greeted with a smile every morning by the staff."

Hotel State College

8/10 Good

"Many pros and cons- Pros- located directly across the street from Penn State with restaurants downstairs and all around the property. Bathroom was very nice with a great shower and even a bidet. This is a great room for couples. Cons- there is no elevator and the rooms are on the 3rd floor, so not great to have heavy suitcases. Also the only parking is a garage 1 1/2 blocks away. The room was small so not great for families. The pros outweigh the cons as the location was great and the room was comfortable. But this is not a great choice for everyone. If you are traveling lightly and want to be near Penn State this would be excellent."
