    I stayed here while visiting my mom who is on hospice, and Chelsea at the front desk went above and beyond, giving me a little gift package with the sweetest card showing compassion and care. It put the biggest smile on my face to receive such a kind gesture during such a hard time. Besides the amazing service, the hotel room is clean and comfortable. I will def stay here again, and I can’t wait to give Chelsea a big hug next time I see her. :)

    I’ve stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn State College several times now, and I’m not sure why I waited this long to write a review — they truly deserve the recognition! Every stay has been excellent. The staff are kind, welcoming, and always go out of their way to help. The rooms are spotless and comfortable, and the whole hotel has such a warm, relaxing vibe. The on-site restaurant is great, and the little lobby shop is super convenient. I also love the outdoor seating areas where you can relax and enjoy the weather. From the cozy indoor fireplace to the modern décor, this place feels like a home away from home. You really can’t find a better value in the area!

    Nice hotel with clean rooms and a modern bathroom. Friendly staff, and plenty of free parking. There are complimentary drinks in the nice lobby, but breakfast is not included in your stay.

    Hotel has no hot tub in the pool area. I assumed it did after seeing photos of the hotel via Google. Also pool was super cold. Hard to review hotel as it is under renovations. Would be better to try hotel after renovation. But do have to say staff were so nice and the location is great to Penn St campus.

    My boyfriend and I came up for the weekend and we were so relieved the hotel was clean and nice. We had been up previously at a different “hotel” and was absolutely disgusted, but here everything was wonderful. The room was so spacious and clean, the bathrooms were clean, service was fast, the pool was clean and heated, the restaurant was nice. Overall great experience and would absolutely come back again.
