    Comfortable Stay with Unique Décor

    Our family had a delightful stay! The ice cream cone wallpaper added a fun touch. Staff were super attentive, even helping with our late check-in. Make sure to arrive early for parking—it can get congested. Enjoy coffee at nearby shops if you're up early.

    The hotel was perfect for our family trip with the kids. We enjoyed the unique Penn State decor and appreciated the cozy rooms. The location was ideal, as we walked to the game without needing our car. The staff made everything easy for us.

    In my wife’s opinion, they could use a designated play area for kids.

    This place suits me perfectly with free wi-fi, 24-hour reception, and a cozy bar lounge area. I remember the staff helped return my forgotten shower bag, which showed their great service. I recommend requesting a higher floor for quieter stays. I'm coming back for Christmas!

    Charming Decor and Comfortable Stay

    I loved the unique collegiate decor throughout the hotel. the ice cream cone wallpaper was a delightful touch! Our room was spacious, the beds were extremely comfortable, and the complimentary coffee in the morning was a nice perk. The staff was friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. My only suggestion for improvement would be to address the noise from early morning garbage pickups, as it disturbed our sleep a bit.

    Family with children gets a mixed bag

    The atmosphere was decidedly unique, just walking through the hallways made you feel like you were in a different world. I remember stepping into our room and being relieved that the unsettling wallpaper didn’t follow us in, like some sort of creeping horror.

    It wasn't exactly cheap, but it was still acceptable considering the experience.

    perfect spot for walking to parks and landmarks

    I truly enjoyed my stay at this hotel because the beds were super comfortable and the staff was very friendly, and with so many great walking options nearby, I loved exploring the Penn State Campus and wandering through the beautiful Arboretum, which is only a quick walk away. This is an ideal choice for families wanting to immerse themselves in local attractions while enjoying the simple pleasure of strolling through the city. But it would be nice if parking was included in the stay.

    slow elevators
    lack of complimentary coffee
    inconsistent temperature control

    The hotel features uniquely renovated decor and offers a comfortable atmosphere, making the stay enjoyable. However, significant issues with the elevators being slow and frequently stuck detracted from the experience. The lack of complimentary coffee and inconsistent temperature control in the room also posed challenges during the stay. While the hotel is conveniently located near the game and restaurants, more attention to room amenities would enhance the overall experience.
