The Penn Stater Hotel & Conference Center

Stayed at this location for about a week md during the snow storm . Overall the stay was great, beautiful hotel and unique rooms I stayed in a few styles. The front desk staff was professional and kind - Sherrie M. was wonderful and always helpful with a smile no matter how frigid the lobby was. Thankfully management had the fire place fixed towards the end of the stay. Sunday brunch had more than we expected and something for everyone. The other restaurants coffee shop we great as well . The maintenance staff was helpful and professional and the rooms and linen were clean. Looking forward to staying again due in the fall. Again, thank you Sherrie M, for all you did to ensure we had a great stay.

We stayed at the Penn Stater the night before the PSU/FIU game. After reading some of the recent reviews, I didn't know what to expect but I was very happy with our stay. Most of the property has been renovated (they're still working on the first floor) and the renovations are quite nice compared to the dated look of the early-2000s. When we got into our room we discovered that the TV wasn't working and we were also missing a towel and shampoo -- a quick stop at the front desk took care of both of these issues quickly. The staff was friendly and attentive. We spent most of the day downtown but we finished the night at Legends, where we had some drinks and the kids had some Creamery ice cream. The pricing was fair and the wait staff was awesome. The only thing I couldn't understand was why, during the renovations, they didn't update the bathtub/shower. It was very obvious that the tub was old (scratches, rust, etc.) but the surround and fixtures were updated. A bit odd but not a big deal at all. Overall, we're looking forward to a return trip!

Great renovation. Common areas extraordinary. Rooms nicely appointed. Service, valet, concierge all very pleasant and competent. Nice coffee bar with good breakfast and brunch options and lively pub with bar food. Did not dine but did note excellent wine list in restaurant.

I used the conference part of the facility. I did not stay in the hotel. The staff were friendly and the food was great. The building and conference areas were large and met our needs. The facility was clean and welcoming. There were restaurants on site if you decided to use the hotel, you have options. I do not have any complaints about our using this location and would recommend it to any business to use for their future projects.

Outstanding restaurant with cool sports vibe. Rooms are big and clean, bathroom shower had great pressure & volume (rare combo in a hotel). Front desk staff was very helpful throughout our stay.

I had the privilege of dining and staying overnight at the Penn Stater in January 2026. I love love love the newly renovated guest rooms. The breakfast buffet at The Gardens always has plenty of options and the parking is a breeze. I like that it is within a quick drive of campus and downtown State College.

The place was super clean and convenient to the stadium. Plenty of parking, reasonably priced restaurant for after the game dining and my daughters loved the indoor pool. This was my second time at the Penn Stater and looking forward to next year. Great family place.

Thought the room and accommodations in the room were excellent. The location is great if your looking for peace and quiet. If your looking for a restaurant or bar though there's nothing within walking distance. The hotel has a bar and restaurant but the bar closed at 10 and restaurant was already closed when I got there, so if you get in late or want a late night snack you have to have it delivered from somewhere else. I did go to the restaurant in the morning for breakfast and the food was good but what did b I ther me is they leave the creamer out on the tables at room temperature, and there were lines of gunk around the inside of the creamer jar which was very off-putting. Very fancy restaurant vibe, when I asked for my check the waitress spent 10 min straightening chairs and cleaning off other tables before finally going back to get my check.
