Graduate by Hilton State College

Great location & easiest parking in State College!

The coffee situation could be better - free, fresh, good coffee in the lobby would make The Graduate a perfect hotel in my opinion.

Very nicely updated hotel, modern rooms, clean, well decorated. Great views of “old main” from oneside of the hotel. All that said the walls are paper thing and the windows offer no noise control. It’s right in the downtown in the middle of the college bars. Go into it knowing it will be very loud, I had to break out my ear plugs to get any sleep. If you’re out in the bars, sleep like a rock, or are ok wearing earplugs it’s a great hotel.

Visiting Penn State and stayed at The Graduate. Loved the themed hotel. Very lovely staff.

One night stay for PSU visit . I knew it would be an older hotel, room was mostly as expected. I felt like there was a lot of “fabric” in the room - throw blanket on each of the beds, long Penn State decorative pillows, thick fabric box spring cover. Some may really enjoy the decor but less is more for me. No Keurig but an electric kettle pot. Shower was VERY slow to drain, did mention to staff upon check out. Next time I would stay further out from campus to have a more updated feel of hotel room and have access to complimentary coffee in lounge area Ended up using parking lot on campus during visit so essentially paid for parking twice - hotel and campus. -Personal preference.. If you like “charming” hotels , I would recommend. Front desk staff were very friendly.

Close to the main pay campus.
