"We stayed at this property for a quick, unplanned, overnight road trip. We wanted someplace inexpensive but clean. Our room was very clean. The furnishings are basic and included a bed, dresser, microwave, and fridge. There were wall lights on each side of the bed but a shelf on only one side. I would recommend putting one on both sides, especially since the lights had places to charge items. The gentleman at the front desk was polite and we had no problems with check-in.

The Nittany Lion Inn

4/10 Poor

"Room was not ready for check-in. And after waiting for 2 hours, finally checked in and room was not clean. "

Nittany Budget Motel

10/10 Excellent

"My husband and I stayed here for a weekend while we visited our daughter for her sororities parent's weekend. TBH, I chose here because the price was super affordable and had pretty good reviews. I was very much impressed. It's dated to be sure, with and older style of decor and the bathroom could use some ventilation because when you take a shower, it steams the whole room. The beds were super comfy, soft and clean (we always check for bed bugs), which provided a wonderful nights sleep. There a fridge with a small freezer and a microwave in the room. Fairly spacious layout. Upon checking in, you get a piece of paper where you check off what you want for breakfast (be aware that the bagels are not toasted, but you can warm them in the microwave which was just as good). In the obby, there is a bottle shop for all your boozy needs. its 4 mins away from an amazing cidery, 12 minutes away from PSU's beaver stadium, and 10 minutes away from a bunch of stores. Next door is a restaurant. Couldn't hear a peep from anything outside. very peaceful and we will stay here again"
