Our stay at the Hotel State College was excellent! My friends and I rented two rooms. They were beautifully appointed and extremely clean and welcoming. The rain shower was such a treat! The staff members checked in with us to ensure we had everything we needed. It was an excellent choice and I can’t wait to stay there again.

We have been traveling to State College for many years and this is BY FAR the best place to stay. The location could not be better - literally right in the heart of town. The rooms are so well designed and thoughtful. And, the service was top notch. As a hotel snob, I could not recommend the Hotel State College more! We will be back!

Had a great time this past Winter Break! Great room! Big comfortable bed, perfect sized room and all around clean. Staff was really and was a huge help. Location is amazing and went downstairs to Zenos and caught Briggs and Strayer live. Zenos as well has a fantastic staff and definitely will be coming back

I have stayed at Hotel State College several times now, and with each visit I discover another thoughtful detail that sets this property apart. Hospitality is clearly at the heart of the entire experience. Even before arrival, the hotel provides thorough and helpful communication so guests feel fully prepared and welcomed. From the moment you walk through the doors, you are greeted by an exceptionally warm and attentive staff who genuinely care about both the establishment and the guest experience. One of the highlights of the hotel is the Lobby Bar. The space has a beautifully curated, artistic atmosphere with inviting lounge seating that immediately makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. The cocktail menu is creative, intentional, and expertly executed. Every drink we tried was outstanding. Eric, Nate, and Naomi are phenomenal bartenders — knowledgeable, passionate, and incredibly personable. Their enthusiasm for their craft elevates the entire experience. The rooms themselves are equally impressive. Every design element feels purposeful, from the antique refrigerator and curated artwork to the vintage-style radio and exceptionally comfortable bed. And the bathroom deserves special recognition — the tilework, soaking tub, shower, vanity, and even the fixtures are all stunningly designed. It is the kind of space you wish you could recreate in your own home. What truly distinguishes Hotel State College, however, is the attention to detail and personalized service. During my second stay, I was welcomed back with a handwritten note — such a simple gesture, yet incredibly meaningful and memorable. Overall, every aspect of the experience feels intentional, elevated, and genuinely hospitable. If you are looking for a place to stay in the State College area, I cannot recommend Hotel State College highly enough.

I have visited Hotel State College twice now and have been floored both times by the service, the ambiance, and the experience as a whole. Every single detail across the lobby bar to the hotel rooms, seem to have been carefully chosen with aesthetic and hospitality in mind. To start, the decor is gorgeous. The vibe is artistic and modern, with classic details mixed within. In the lobby, the chairs are so comfortable you won't want to get back up. The toilet seats in the rooms are heated. The bartenders greet you with a glass bottle of water and a smile (Eric is absolutely awesome!!!). The front desk is accesible by text message from before you even arrive on-site for any questions. The cocktail menu at the bar is both unique and delicious, and if nothing there tempts you, you are only steps away from the Allen Street Grill, which has, hands down, the best wine program in the surrounding area. If you will be visiting the State College area, don't waste your time staying anywhere else. These guys will blow you away, too. I'm sure of it.

We almost didn’t book because of a 2-star review we saw, but we’re so glad we did. Ferman was incredibly helpful and showed us the newly renovated rooms—they were beautiful. The king bed was super comfortable, and the heated toilet seat and soaking tub made the room feel luxurious and homey. I work in the hospitality industry, and Ferman truly went above and beyond to make sure we were happy. His service left a lasting impression. This will definitely be our go-to place when visiting our daughter at Penn State. Perfect location!

Hotel State College was great! With the winter storm, I had to extend my stay a couple days and they were so accommodating. I ended up staying in the same room for 10 days and it was perfect for a solo trip. As a frequent solo traveler for work, the queen studio room was perfect and the lobby is a great place to get some work done. There was no elevator, and as someone who travels for months at a time with lots of luggage, it was a little challenging to get my bags to my room during after-hours where no staff was able to assist. However, during check out I did receive help with my bags which was so great. The staff were very kind and welcoming, consistently asking if I needed anything and they were easily reachable via text. I appreciated the phone call before check in confirming my stay and instructions on how to check in after hours. The directions to enter the after hours entrance was very helpful.The location was perfect, a short walk to groceries, coffee, or a quick dinner. It never got too loud with the restaurants and bars downstairs. Bed was super comfortable. I’d definitely recommend staying here and will stay at Hotel State College again!

My wife and I did a little staycation here and had a great time. I had never been in the hotel before, but it was really nicely done. Our room was very spacious and modern while still having a cozy feel. Walking downstairs to have dinner at the Allen Street Grill was a nice bonus. We had a great view of Allen Street as well. Would definitely come back.

The Hotel State College is a premier location and property! There was not a detail missed in the renovated rooms. They are very spacious and beautifully decorated and designed. The bathroom was gorgeous complete with high end fixtures and even a heated floor. The location is perfect, room 307 is right on the corner of College and Beaver Ave over looking the gates to Old Main, complete with a sitting area where you can watch the hustle and bustle of downtown or sip your morning coffee. Great restaurants and bars surround the area as well. Would recommend to anyone coming to visit PSU or wanting to do a little staycation date night!

The hotel stay was great! The text and email reminder I got beforehand was super helpful with the instructions on checking in and getting into the room. I also thought the videos in the email that show how to navigate the property was a nice touch. Both my wife and I loved the room. Recently renovated, it feels brand new. Super comfortable and it has a very welcoming design. Heated floors, bidet, rain shower… Very nice! It has to be the nicest hotel room in State College. And when you consider the location, can’t beat it! We’ll be staying again :)
