The Nittany Lion Inn
Beautiful decor! The lobby is inviting and encourages lingering in a comfy chair, or sofa or sitting briefly to catch-up on work emails on your laptop. Loved every corner of the place :)

Toftrees Golf Resort
Clean room & courteous staff. The most comfortable mattress & pillow (can’t put into words how comfortable).. firm but soft/cozy; amazing.

Hyatt Place State College
The only downfall is the parking is across the street in a Municipal Garage and you have to pay for it. On a positive note they do for breakfast at no charge.
