Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

As a lifetime elite member with Marriot, this was my first experience with a choice hotel brand. We stayed at this location because of a stay to play volleyball tournament. I was pleasantly surprised. Great location, warm and very friendly staff and very clean facility all around. I will definitely return to this location in the future.

This hotel is one of the cleanest most comfortable hotels I’ve stayed at in a long time! The beds we’re really comfortable, the suite was spacious (we even asked to stay an extra night!) and in our room (420) it was very quiet. The staff were some of the kindest people I’ve met!

My husband and I stayed the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving. We came in around dinner time on a cold rainy night. I called to book a hotel room from the car about two hours before. I spoke to the sweetest girl at the front desk. Her name was Kaija. When we arrived, the same kind girl helped us at the front desk. She also suggested a few places where we could get a bite to eat. I think we ended up going to the Plaza Mexican Bar & Grill. Kaija pointed out the cookies, tea, and coffee that were in the hotel lobby, curtesy of the hotel. She was the PERFECT person to have at a Hotel front desk. Kaija was kind, helpful, upbeat, and definitely knew the area. Our room was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast the next morning was good. I would have liked to see a healthier option available, but it was fine for one day. I definitely would recommend this hotel - especially since it was reasonably priced.

There were aspects of this hotel that were very good at its normal price point but this hotel, as well as others in the area, charge exorbitant prices under the cover of "special event" on certain weekends during the Penn State school year. I am sure the response from the hotel will be that it is based on demand, essentially "we can so we do". It's unfortunate because they really can't support the prices they are charging. On football weekends or in this case Parents Weekend, there are no extra services, nothing special offered during breakfast. The bare minimum they could offer is housekeeping on each day of your visit for what we paid but we did not even get extra toilet paper we had to go to the front desk to ask for more. They offered cookies in the evenings but they were gone by the time we returned to the hotel and not replenished, I think it was one chance and done. The hotel staff varied, some were very welcoming, some were not really paying attention to incoming guests and were more interested in their personal conversations amongst themselves. They do offer a Penn States parents program that we will try if we decide to stay again. The advantage that this hotel has is location, location, location. It was very convenient to access all the areas we were visiting on the Penn State campus. The room felt clean, the sheets and towels were comfortable. The blankets/comforters were very thin and there were no extra blankets or pillows offered in the closet of the room. TV was huge and complicated but offered a lot of channels. "Free" parking (included in the huge room charge), even with a busy hotel we did not have trouble finding a space.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your thoughts and feedback regarding your recent stay. I'd like to start off by apologizing for the varied interactions with the different team members you crossed paths with during your time with us. We try to ensure all team members understand the importance of acknowledgment, whether it be a hello, have a nice day or travel safe. The cookie station does see a lot of traffic so we try our best to keep it replenished and stocked when needed but sometimes there is a delay depending on how busy it is. Please don't ever hesitate to ask a team member for a cookie should you return and it be depleted at any point in time, we will be very happy to grab one from the back. We will revisit this with a gentle reminder of again just how much a greeting and a treat means to the guests. As for rate, you are partially correct as far as demand goes, as with anything in the world when there is an increase of popularity whether a necessity item or entertainment, when there's demand, prices adjust and we do have some abilities in that regard but are limited. Which is why we offer not only member discounts for our Rewards members but have also implemented the PSU Parent's Program to assist in hopefully cutting costs while rewarding those participants. WI have also spoken with housekeeping regarding the toilet paper absence and they apologize the for the inconvenience as it was due to having a limited amount that weekend as the shipment did not arrive as scheduled. Housekeeping does service stay overs daily so should you find you're not receiving that service during your next stay please speak with a manager. I personally would like to assist in booking your next stay to ensure your needs are fully met and you're booked in the best room at the best rate! Feel free to reach out to the hotel directly and ask for myself. In the meantime, enjoy the sunshine and have a wonderful day! Samantha Fink Director of Sales

I am absolutely blown away. . This property is run like a professional., warm and welcoming, guest focused military. Major attention to detail with operations, cleanliness, and upkeep of the hotel… the customer service makes it like the Chick-fil-A of Radisson hotels. I was a platinum member with Radisson up until choice acquired them and now I’m diamond with choice. I’m also Diamond with Hilton. My experience at State College country Inn and suites blows any experience I’ve ever had at a Hilton property out of the water. I even made the mistake of booking third-party, but I was treated with the same respect and professionalism that I would have been had I booked direct. . One of the best things this property has going for it is that they have Kaija as the face of the property on guest walk in . She is genuine, professional, polished, and friendly . Any business would be so lucky to have her on their team . I’ve stayed a lot of properties, and I notice all of the small things. There was nothing in my room that I could find that was out of place, not cleaned properly, or not in working order. I’ll admit I’m not the happiest about choice acquiring Radisson. It was so nice to go to this property and feel the high quality Radisson experience as it’s always been. Way to go to state college team!

Staff was awesome here! Professional, courteous , friendly and very informative! The room was super clean. Breakfast was a bit lacking in meats and variety but still good. The location is great since we were there for our son's Penn State Orientation. However, it's a shame that trying to book for Family weekend and the rates are more than doubled for that weekend!! Would love to stay there again but the price makes it very difficult.

Pros: Friendly staff; great breakfast; reasonable rates; clean, comfortable, and newly-renovated rooms. Cons: Had to search for functioning ice machine. I suppose that if locating working ice machines was the worst part of our hotel experience, our stay was a highly successful one. Needing a place with a separate bedroom for our children while visiting family and visiting an area attraction, this Country Inn property- like most we've experienced in recent years- was basic, but nailed all the basics in a way that made for a stress-free stay. Country Inn's new room decor continues to impress. It is elegant in its simplicity and functions very well compared to other hotel brands in its price bracket. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms spacious, and the furniture provides actual usable storage for clothes and other items. Across two days we were never left needing or wanting more. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and the free breakfast included a vast array or hot and cold food items. It was so good, we weren't tempted to try any of the area breakfast spots that we'd identified prior to arriving in State College. When in the area again, we will no doubt return.
