Bar needs to add non alcohol products. More and more people nation wide are turning to these products.

Was spoken to very rudely after check out when I noticed a 16.00 dollar charge get declined because I keep my card locked. I call them to see what happened, they claim I didn’t pay the incidental charge of 15 dollars. Screenshots to prove the first decline, second hold that went through and therefore was cancelled upon checkout, and the sneaky charge they tried to get in. Will be calling Hilton corporate.

It's not near the Creamery or the stadiums, but it's quiet and gives you a nice chance to walk the Penn State campus. Near Old Main.

Checked in late and the front desk manager with glasses said it would be okay to stay parked out front of the hotel. Went out to my car early next morning and had a parking ticket. I took the ticket to the morning front manager with glasses and he just gave me the biggest attitude I have EVER received from a Hilton employee. He made me feel like an idiot for listening to his fellow employees about it being okay to stay parked out front. I could tell he was happy about making me feel stupid. He also offered no solutions beyond making me feel stupid. I had to call the hotel twenty minutes later to offer a solution. That guy needs an attitude adjustment. And the night manager needs to stop telling people it’s okay to park out front overnight.
