As the family of a Penn State student, we have stayed at the Super 8 in State College probably a half-dozen times now. Our previous visit was plagued by service problems, such as missing soap, shampoo, coffee, spare toilet paper and kleenex -- all things that you would expect in your hotel room. And I also mentioned in a previous... More

I stayed at this hotel years ago when it was a 'Best Western' so I knew the layout and area. The price is cheap when the date is not close to a football game. The room is a good size and the bathroom was clean with a good shower. The carpets are so dark you can't tell if they are... More

This is your basic run of the mill motel. Nothing stood out as far as being too bad or too good. You pretty much get what you pay for. This was our first stop on a 51 day cross-country road trip. Decent quality for the price. More

I stayed at this hotel because I was taking a one week class, and the hotel was selected by some others in my group. When I first walked in the lobby, it reeked of cigarette smoke and I almost left. I decided to check out the room, and it was fine. It did not smell, and the bedding was comfortable.... More

My wife and I stayed here recently for a night for ARTS FEST. We are not big fans of choking out big bucks for arts fest accomadations, so we were pleasantly surprised that they had availability kinda last minute. We had stayed here years ago, nothing that great or that bad, as I remember. They handled an accomodation request just... More

I have very little standards for a hotel room, but this experience was one beyond "standards." I traveled with my colleagues to a science conference at Penn State. We needed convenience so we chose the nearby Super 8. Our stay was all but convenient, however. While the location was great (a Perkin's is right across the parking lot), the hotel... More

My daughter had an interview with the college and had this hotel recommended because it had been recently updated (and because they thought she was coming alone on a student budget.) We paid about $100 for 2 weekday nights plus tax. Not so sure about the renovation as the hotel is worn around the edges but we found the halls... More

This was my second time staying here... both stays have been excellent. First of all, when I arrived at the airport and called the Super 8 about getting the free airport shuttle, they weren't kidding... apparently their shuttle wasn't running so they instructed me to get a taxi and the motel would cover the cost after I arrived. $17.50 later,...

This is the largest Super 8 I have been in so far. It has large room, very nice breakfast and is located in a nice area. Sink area is outside of the bathroom, which is convenient for a larger family. The price was the best for that area. Parking area is well lit, they plant flowers in front of the... More

We have stayed at this Super 8 several times and in general they were pleasant stays. Last time, however, on July 31 we had a problem with service, or should I say lack of. The front desk was totally unwelcoming upon arrival and indifferent upon checkout the next day.. Don't they teach that at travel school? Or maybe they were... More
