Top State College Hotel Reviews

Nittany Budget Motel

10/10 Excellent

"Joey, the manager and the housekeeper (I'm sorry I don't know her name), are both great."

Super 8 by Wyndham State College

10/10 Excellent

"My room was very nice, attractively decorated and clean. Staff were helpful- front desk gave me a perfect room positioned for someone travelling with a dog. It was actually quiet considering where it was. A staff member on break helped me get in a side entrance when the scanner wasn’t reading my room key. There could be improvements made to the complimentary breakfast , possibly a protein choice? Breakfast seemed very limited."
