While the nature of our visit was't particularly pleasant (funeral), my husband I drove from Cleveland to make the most out of our short visit. We were heading to a nearby city, but decided to stay in State College, something we'd never done before. After talking to some Penn State alum, it became evident that we HAD to stay at... more

I have stayed here often and this will certainly not be the last time. The hotel is quiet, well-appointed and charming. The staff at the front door, the front desk, the gift shop, the restaurants and everyone else is friendly, professional and helpful. The location, on the campus of Penn State University, is spectacular. If you have any reason to... more

The entire facility seems very well taken care of, especially considering its age. Location is excellent, right behind the Nittany Lion Shrine. Easy walking distance to all of downtown. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Free and convenient parking. Only... more

The inn is in a lovely area and the grounds are well-maintained. Excellent views from the room. Service was phenomenal and helped to offset an issue we... more

We happened upon the Inn while driving through Pennsylvania on a cross country trip. We couldn't have enjoyed our stay more. We fell in love with the campus and town. We had a suite which was nicely furnished and reasonably priced considering we have paid the same for a somewhat dreary ordinary room at a chain hotel. Our breakfast in... more

After checking out The Penn Stater for a conference, it is clear that the Nittany Lion Inn is not as nice facility-wise. However, of the two locations, I still prefer the Nittany Lion Inn. The rooms are a decent size and I love that they have an additional vanity/sink outside of the bathroom as well. They also upgraded to flat-screen... more

This is a fine hotel on the edge of the Penn State campus. It has free parking, which is another plus. It has a romance with its large size and historic existence. I never had to touch the door handle coming or going as the doorman got it every time. The staff is very friendly and accommodating and make you... more
