Mary, the night desk lady, was super friendly and accommodating for a late night check-in and assisted us in getting 2 roll away beds Megan, the morning desk lady, was super friendly at assisting in additional morning shower towels! The breakfast buffet was one of the best I’ve seen at a Marriott Property The rooms, amenities, decor, etc

was modern and very clean Everyone was super inviting and friendly, even for a one night stay

Richard Marmorstein

Made us and our two dogs feel so welcome when we checked in, even handed us some dog biscuits! That meant a lot Some “dog-friendly” hotels make you feel like your dogs are barely tolerated, but here we felt very welcomeIt was really great to have the dishes/dishwasher/full-sized fridge

The pool was great, open until 11

My stay on Friday, February 25th was much more unsatisfactory than the previous nights stay I was given a room on the first floor, it was extremely noisy, the shower head needs replaced, water did not flow properly The room had a damp feeling, and it had an unpleasant odor

The breakfast was absolutely awful Muffins are all you can spare to give people for breakfast????Shame on you You could have fresh fruit, and other breakfast products that would not break the bank!!! Coffee was good My 3rd floor room the previous night was a completely different experience I was comfortable, it was quiet, no smell I never expected the second night to be anything less than I had experienced the the night before

Dayan Escobar

The smell of the entire place was degustingThe bathroom wasn’t clean They didn’t even changed the toilet paper from the people that was previously there

The place was very noisy I could hear people having sex during quiet hoursThe staff members were not very friendlyThe only good thing was the location Otherwise I would give this hotel 1 start

Beulah White

I’ll start with the steps The best I have seen in dozens of hotels Carpeted, well lit, clean and easy to find

I only used the elevator once upon arrival and then it was step time The room was clean and well laid out The bathroom had a fan that actually worked to quickly remove air from the toilet/ shower area The mattresses was on the firm side but not uncomfortable The pool was nice as was the fitness center The end of the pool room is glass block with plants and a fountain In the evening hours of summer the Sun may shine though the glass giving this indoor pool an outdoor feel Two notes for improvement First is the bright green LED lights behind the tv that shine in your eyes as you leave the bathroom in the middle of the night The second is the ice maker The second floor ice maker I was barely working despite my best efforts I used the maker on another floor and told the front desk The reply “We know, we are waiting on the repairs to happen” If they knew, why didn’t the put a sign on the ice machine Overall I would gladly stay here again

Rita Russell

I arrived from Colorado for a week’s visit with my daughter I came in on a delayed flight and was super tired from traveling since early that morning It may sound odd, but I stopped by the Bistro and requested a large cup of black coffee before I headed up to my room

The staff noticed there wasn’t much fresh coffee left and immediately brewed a fresh pot! It was the perfect way to end my long day Then each morning and evening, Jose Felix and his staff remembered my request and prepared my coffee for me without me having to say a wordThis excellent service continued throughout my entire trip!

JJ

Hotel staff were friendly enough and helpful They had a water leak that shut all of their systems down so had to check in the old-fashioned way That meant the TV kept turning off and turning back on thinking a new guest was checking in and out

For the hotel itself, it is certainly showing its age and badly in need of a remodel It is pretty dingy and worn out Paint missing from doors and walls Rusty door handles Musty smell in the halls and our room Everything is just very out of date and well used

Daniel McCormick

Great place, staff is friendly and really accommodating, location was ideal for attending events on Penn State campus Four stars because the rooms were noisy when people were staying the floor above you, you could hear every step and muted conversation Breakfast was really good the first morning, the second morning the eggs were a bit rubbery and the sausages were water logged and cool

All in all I would certainly return for the price and experience weren’t that bad at all Pool was lovely and the gym was nice, patio was beautiful to take in the air and grill this time of year!

Gregory Jones Sr

The hotel was clean but the room and location left a lot to be desired The room layout was strange where the TV was located on the side wall making it awkward to watch The worst physical issues were with the bathroom

The faucet was too small for the sink which caused the water stream to be only a half inch from the side if the sink Forget about putting your hands or toothbrush under the faucet without contacting the wall of the sink If you needed to use the commode, the toilet paper holder was a good 2 1/2 feet away! Better hope you have long arms They did have a decent breakfast arrangement situated next to a grave yard kept the noise level down but also put the location away from any store or general shopping except for a Sheetz station It is located a short distance off 99 so there is easy access The only general seating is in the breakfast area consisting of just tables and chairs so no comfortable seating for socializing

Andrew Bizyaev

This place is the best hotel in the area BY FAR! I’ve been to all of the local hotels; country Inn, Hampton Inn, and this place is the best deal Don’t bother with western they have the worst rates and staff of all, Hampton is also good, but this place has the best rates, the absolute BEST staff, Kevin is an amazing hotel manager and Cristina is the best receptionist I’ve spoken too Spend your vacation here, it’s a living dream 🙂

Avery Paul

Came for one night after a vacation to DC coming back to Michigan Wonderful hotel I loved the area, but also the room was very nice

2 queen beds, but it had a place to sit, in a chair, a desk, and a little sitting area by the door Bathroom was nice too Would definitely return if we were ever in the area Well done with the cleaning too

Michelle Voss

The Graduate hotel chain is such a great unique experience every location you go to Our Penn state room was highly detailed with lots of extras – fun old fashioned phone, awesome lamps, and very clean bathroom Convenient restaurant on premise

This location is currently undergoing some renovations here and there but we still enjoyed our few days there

Sheila Beebe

This was our third stay here, and will stay here every time we pass through town Clean, well-appointed rooms, on site restaurant and bar (always check hours with the front desk, as they do vary), helpful and friendly staff Good location in walking distance to restaurants and bars as well

On site parking We had a small problem with room on stay #2 and it was immediately fixed A little pricey but well worth it

Stayed here with my crew (I’m a photographer) last weekend The whole day occurred at the venue, from the morning through to the ceremony and the event It went great

Was very convenient for everything to be in one place with the space to host it all with room to spareThe room was nice and had a pullout couch, too, which was greatWould definitely recommend The Penn Stater to anyone looking to host an event or wedding in the areaWill come back to this review to post pics!

Christopher Jones

Everyone from the front desk staff to the servers to housekeepers were very friendly The fastest hotel elevators I’ve ever been in My 2 queen bed room was very clean and very cozy with a very comfortable bed

little bonus- I was on the 4th floor and there was a great view of the horizon over the trees the only petty gripe I have is that the bathroom was small The hotel has 2 restaurants, The Pub and The Garden Breakfast at the garden was standard breakfast, I didn’t get a chance to have the Sunday brunch but it looked incredible The Pub has a nice assortment of salads and sandwiches I had the Caesar and House Steak salad and both were great They are known for their Reuben and there is a good reason for it it was incredible! The crispy coated french fries were great also You will not leave there hungry, i guarantee it The fitness center has a nice little variety of machines with some weights Nothing exciting but totally gets the job done The pool area looked clean, but I didn’t partake The campus/ downtown area and major stores are within a 5 minute drive Would stay there again for sure

JJ

I wasn’t there for a conference, just an overnight stay Staff, pub and lobby are great But, the industrial design of the early 90s interior isn’t holding up

If hospital designs are your thing, you’ll feel rejuvenated at the Penn Stater Come on! Isn’t this supposed to be Penn State? Work that junk! In the rooms, let’s see some PSU blue and white, add some nice Penn State prints to the walls, and for god’s sake, put blankets/comforters on the beds for some weight- it felt like I was sleeping under a curtain runner Check! You’ll also see that reasonably sized TVs have come down incredibly from 2005- no need for guests to fumble with binoculars So, great people, great downstairs But, upstairs it has only slightly more charm and sophistication of a local maternity ward or mental hospital Sort of weird

Vik Ohstrom

My stay was wonderful! Hotel staff were extremely helpful, from helping me rearrange my stay after travel difficulties and finding a quiet place for me to take a phone call after my scheduled check out GT and Samantha were especially helpful and so nice! The quality of customer service is really what set this stay apart from other hotels I’ve stayed at The room was good and clean, very comfortable bed and nice hot shower

The free wifi was fast and reliable, allowing me to take video calls and stream shows/music I was able to both be productive and relax on my business trip, truly an excellent experience

Karl Peterman

As an IHG member, I’ve seen many HIE hotels This was the first I’ve stayed in since the pandemic and as nice as it was perhaps this location is still suffering from minor staffing issues… breakfast was definitely sub par compared with other HIE properties Hot food was not kept stocked and they ran out of cinnamon buns

Relatively minor issues though The hotel is generally clean and in good shape Our room was as expected though the AC/heat unit needed service as it was noisy- we just kept it off at night Internet seemed fine Note that our two bed unit had a walk in shower not a tub, so if you’re travelling with little ones, be sure to ask if that’s an issue for you Definitely a nice location though on the North side of campus and away from much of the downtown noise

Eric DiMemmo

I stayed there for one night July 3rd into July 4th I had a really great experience Check in was fast and easy

The room was very nice and modern The bed was extremely comfortable The room had a microwave and refrigerator, a nice TV, a desk and a comfortable couch The bathroom was beautiful I’m a very tall man and the shower was perfect The stay was very quiet and peaceful I got to just relax The complementary breakfast was small, but enjoyable Anyone complaining about anything is just being nit picky For $120 room, I was highly satisfied My only concern was the very informal checkout You basically just leave your room key and go, but overall it was a pleasant experience I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone looking for an affordable, yet luxurious option

My husband and I travel quite often and this is the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed at Every little nook and cranny, even the spots most people wouldn’t even think to look, were so clean The staff were super friendly and the whole place is tastefully decorated and comfortable

Even the stairwells smelled good Great experience! Keep up the excellent work!!

Call 📞(810) 545-8210 a 11 night stay at this hotel through It an incredible deal In fact, it was such a great deal, I still can’t figure out how the hotel can make any money Just $60 a night for 2 persons with free breakfast and daily cleaning

The rooms are clean and there is free parking (which is a big bonus) There is a laundry room that operates only using coins but the reception will happily convert your notes to quartersFor all of these reasons, it deserves 5 stars, but what really endeared e to this place was the staff I happened to reach the place at 11am after a long 5 hour drive from New York I know the check in is only after 3 pm but decided to give it a try anyway The reception lady was very helpful After finding there is a room available, she did an early check in for meExcellent place to stay in State College

Scott P.

Surpassed expectations Melissa at the front desk was lively, friendly and helpful She made us feel welcome and set the tone for the entire stay

The woman running the breakfast service checked in routinely to make sure we had everything we needed, to which the answer was yes Ample options for a great free breakfast I enjoyed a crisp malted Belgium waffle There was also yogurt and juice Something you don’t see too often are ready to heat egg ham and cheese muffin sandwiches The room was immaculate, smelled fresh and looked clean and well maintained I will look for Sleep branded hotels in the future based on my stay here

Ava Bell

It just barely hit the 3 star mark for me While it’s a newer hotel therefore cosmetically it doesn’t call for a lot what it is lacking is overall deep cleaning As well all of the side entrance doors that your suppose to have your key card to enter stay unlocked making it possible for anyone to gain access regardless if they are staying here or not

The phone in the room doesn’t work The bathtub backed up with water while showering The breakfast was ok The cinnamon rolls were the highlight of the options available for breakfast The area seems safe There is a sheets gas station located extremely close which is great for food options The experience def isn’t & wasn’t worth the $170/night we paid whatsoever!

Eva Betlyon

I can’t help much hereI was only there for a few hours for our nursing agency’s mandatory skills training

howeverwe were in a small conference room so there were only 2-3 nurses plus maybe 5 or 6 instuctors in a certain block period of timethe problem was there was no a/c in the roomthe desk clerk had tried to change the thermostat setting but got nowhere as it appeared to be preset and locked at that settingthere was no airflow so finally one of the instructors opened one of the doors to get a little airflowif I was a business paying for the use of a small conference room I would complain as it was too hot for comfortit was in the low 90’s outdoors so it was very uncomfortable with no airflow

Karla M

We stay here for work It’s always clean, and comfortable Housekeepers are always kind

Front desk are there to help when you need them Whenever we had any issues they explained the situation and made us feel better Wish the pool was open all season! And, if you have issues with the TV, I was told there’s always a tech guy on site 👍

Phoned Leek25 (Redstone Works)

High quality spacious rooms with very comfy beds, and good bathroom area Wifi is a bit wacky (sometimes lags for no reason randomly + small bandwidth) The “free breakfast” is literally just a cheese & egg sandwich home made by then and it is of bad quality

Like I would eat their sandwich only if I had $5 to my name Location of hotel is very convenient with many convenience stores and food areas located all around Overall it’s a good hotel Though I think you could find easily better/cheaper alternatives I had to pick this one because it’s one of the rare few that accept 18 year olds (literally 2 in state college)

Thompson JT

It’s an ok hotel as an option if you need to be in the Penn State area It’s only 10 minutes from the campus It’s relatively clean for it’s price and brand

Some baby brown ants in the room and the bathroom HVAC vent looked like it needed to be vacuumed badly The amenities were nice in the room and the Continental breakfast was more than adequate and had the typical Belgian waffle do it yourself stuff I love that

Alison Allman

We have stayed in many B&B’s over the years to celebrate our anniversary This was by far one of the nicest The mansion is on the National register of Historic places and has been in existence since 1886

The building has been very well maintained and is beautiful inside and out We were greeted by our hostess Tricia and given a tour and brief explanation of the mansion We selected the Green room for our stay and were glad we did It was large, clean, decorated nicely, and comfortable They had recently installed a large jetted tub that was so awesome Even my over 6ft husband fit comfortably, which never happens Our 3 course breakfast prepared by our host Mike was delicious and enjoyed in a pretty dining room A great start to our day I highly recommend you stay here and you will be well taken care of by the friendly innkeepers Tricia and Mike

Mike Mann

What an amazing place The mansion is incredible inside and out We stayed in the Penn State room and it was decorated with a lot of Penn State memorabilia

Very spacious room with a whirlpool bath and a very comfortable bed Mike and Tricia are amazing hosts They make you feel comfortable from the moment you enter and will do anything to make your stay great The breakfasts were delicious and the service was top- notch We’ve stayed in a lot of B&Bs but our stay at the Reynolds Mansion was by far the best! We highly recommend it and we can’t wait to go back!

David Kingsley

First time ever at a B&B Our visit to the Reynolds Mansion was a wonderful experience It was great to learn about the mansion from our hosts, and very nice conversing with the other guests

The area was perfect for walking around and relaxation The gourmet breakfasts were delicious Tricia and Mike were wonderful hosts We plan to return in the future! Very highly recommend

It’s nothing special Clean Nice people

But it is not worth the cost $207 total for 2 people and 2 old little dogs for one night! I’ve stayed in nice resorts with much more to offer than a place to sleep and microwave omelettes for the cost of this place It’s not even warm enough for their tiny pool to be open yet, and any nearby ski slopes are long closed for the season

My stay experience was nice The room was very clean and up to date Ac worked nicely, shower had great pressure (shower heads could use some updating) and the beds were comfy imo

The staff was very friendly as well There is a dollar store, subway, Dairy Queen, Rutters and an Arbys right next to the hotel The only thing I wish there was more of would be places that deliver The only delivery option was a Dominos and Pizza Hut unless you use Door Dash All in all you can’t beat it for $100/night

Have stayed here several times over the years Just above average, initially, but it has deteriorated July ‘22 was the most recent visit: curtains were shredding, shower curtain rail and towel rack above the toilet were about to fall out of the wall

Next door, significant noise and headlights were an all-night-long feature from travel center customers Bed was uncomfortable and there were barely any blankets Breakfast is basic If there were more choices in Mifflin Co they could not charge what they do Search hotels in nearby State College because the other hotel chain within a few miles of this one, although nicer/newer, is managed by the same people according to an employee If you must stay here request a room that does not face Rutters

Family reunion in a meeting room Room was nice with a good table for a business meetingFriendly staff

“Quiet hours” after 10pmSign in the lobby said “housekeeoing service on request” (not daily in every room) – this makes a lot of sense, especially with staffing shortages which seem to be everywhere

Michele Walker

Excellent Location and Staff was so accommodating The continental breakfast was great There were so many choices between French toast, waffles, bacon, variety of cereals, oatmeal, fruits, muffins, hot chocolate, coffee, variety of teas and more things I can’t remember

The room was comfortable and very clean I come up every year around this time to work and always stay here and I am never disappointedIt was sad to see that the restaurant was closed We always eat at the restaurant next door but unfortunately it was closed down this year

My husband and I travel quite often and this is the cleanest hotel we have ever stayed at Every little nook and cranny, even the spots most people wouldn’t even think to look, were so clean The staff were super friendly and the whole place is tastefully decorated and comfortable

Even the stairwells smelled good Great experience! Keep up the excellent work!!

Michelle Masterson

This has been our go-to spot for getaways and weekend leisure The hotel is quiet, clean, and all staff is very pleasant and professional Spacious hotel rooms with comfortable beds and all the latest amenities

Great finishes both in the rooms especially the bathroom and in the public areas with all of the modern decor The hotel sits back off of North Atherton St and feels very safe I truly appreciate the new lighting improvement from our last stay in the parking lot, making you feel very safe and secure They also take very good care of Choice Privileges Members A special shout out to Michael at the Front Desk!! He always makes our stay truly enjoyable Highly recommend giving it a stay!
