Guest Reviews
- AIMER (8/5): -
- Kathleen (9/5): Very very good - This is a nice motel. Very clean. Old but not out!! Clerk Kelly wonderful! Def. would stay here again!
- Rose (7/5): We were satisfied with our stay - Location was good. We were there for graduation. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was delivered on time and good. Overall room was clean. Lack of outlets, lighting is terrible and towels are rough.
- Thomas (1/5): Would not stay here again. - Location The body fluids and stains on every sitting surface. The shower curtain lying on the tub floor. The stains in the toilet. Do I have to continue?
- Jawad (1/5): Very bad. I paid premium to stay over $900 because of the PSU graduation. The motel is not worth more than $50 a night - Nothing. The room was smelly. The carpet was dirty. Bathroom towels had stained on them and had to be replaced.
- Diane (8/5): Our 2 rooms worked out well and location was great. We appreciated our breakfast - Fromt desk agt Jared was exceptional. Helped us out on numerous occasions including loaning us his fast charger. In many small ways, he helped us out and think it was because he genuinely cares! We arrived on PSU graduation week. Enough said.
- Dusty (10/5): - The breakfast secret door was so cool and I'm just very surprised at how classy it was for a motel with an attached liquor store
- robert (8/5): good value; room ws clean; only a few miles (10 min) from town and restaurants -
- Wheale (9/5): Exceeded our expectations - I was surprised how hard the staff tries to make this a good place to stay. The entry door security made us a bit uncomfortable as there was a man in a pickup truck just sitting there watching us unload into our room, and the doors and locks just didn't feel real secure. Nothing happened, but it was uncomfortable feeling like somebody could easily bust through the locks if they really wanted to. Just an old fashioned key. I would still stay here again though.
- Denny (9/5): - location and price were great We checked out a day early because it rained and the game was going to be bad weather. The clerk at the desk said he get us a refund for the day we didn't stay. But I have heard nothing back
- Paige (10/5): - Everything was great!!

- Diane (8/5): - The room was very nice for the price, and a very unique way for breakfast 😊 The room heater was very loud and kept waking me up 🥹
- Kristina (9/5): -

- Raymond (8/5): - The room was clean and warm. Nothing really.
- Carlos (8/5): Modesto pero perfecto para un paso rapido por la ciudad. - El desayuno en la habitación. El señor que me atendió muy amable. Que no tenia maquina de cafe en la habitación.
- Michele (3/5): Won’t stay again - Location and staff was very helpful Run down- had an odor/ needed better cleaning
- Douglas (8/5): -
- Tori (6/5): Nice location, great staff. - The location was nice, it was just a short drive to downtown State College. The staff was very nice and chatty and informative. The room was adequate for our short stay. There wasn't really much around the hotel in terms of things to do. The smoke alarm had a really bright green light on it that was flashing all night - I don't usually have problems with things like this but it was bright and kept me up a bit.
- CoachBro (10/5): Great value at a tidy motel, away from the busy-ness of downtown. - Location, Morning coffee, cleanliness Nothing
- Markwood (10/5): -
- Jennifer (10/5): -
- Anne (4/5): -

- trishsW6004ZZ (10/5): Great Motel - This is the second time I’ve stayed here. The place is really clean. The staff cannot be nicer. Today I dealt with Kelly, and she was amazing!
- Cullen (10/5): -
- Amanda (10/5): -
- Actor Mark Marcarian (10/5): - This is definitely NOT a cheap, seedy motel! It's simply a professional, well run establishment. Clean, quiet and comfortable! More motels could learn a lot from Nittany Motel!
- Dr. Uwe (8/5): - Einfaches, aber sehr angenehmes Motel. Durchaus zum Wohlfühlen und etwa Bleiben. Etwas abseits gelegen, also auch ruhig. Nette Besitzer, die sich gerne kümmern - und, für mich zumindest, ungewöhnliches Frühstück: es wird zur gewünschten Uhrzeit zum Zimmer gebracht. Continental, natürlich.
Was mich betrifft: ich würde wiederkommen.
- Lea (8/5): Clean and comfortable room. - It was clean and comfortable. The breakfast delivery was ok, but not great. We got 6 oz styrofoam cups of coffee, bagels and apple juice.

- Dawson (9/5): -
- Marcia (10/5): - Heater worked well for main room. Heat did not get to the bathroom. No hair dryer.
- Nico (10/5): - Great stay
- Amy (10/5): - Clean, quiet, friendly desk staff and breakfast at your door in the morning which is an added bonus. :)
- bradmC1462NM (10/5): An inexpensive, quiet place to sleep. - Kelley was amazing! She had a bit of an issue with the computer during check-in, but trouble shot it quickly and got me squared away!
- Gregory (10/5): - The room was clean and the beds soft! Breakfast was delivered every morning right on time.
- Roger (5/5): Disappointed with the stay. - Poor condition. No breakfast
- Linda (8/5): -
- Avi (10/5): - Good!
- Rahul (10/5): - One of the best stays during my past four years of travel
- Shawn (10/5): - Excellent bed. Clean. Dated but highly recommend staying here. There’s a liquor store on site. Perfect for a football weekend.
- Thana (10/5): - The room is clean and comfortable. It’s great that they bring you a breakfast in the morning. It’s very quiet as well.
I liked staying here. It was good.
- Megan (10/5): - I was skeptical at first, but literally just needed a place to sleep for a quick overnight trip. The room was large and clean. The continental breakfast delivered to your room is very unique, and worked well from my perspective. Will definitely stay again!!
- Elizabeth (7/5): -
- Soo Ji (10/5): - We had a very comfortable stay at this motel. We really appreciated how by default they provided a lot of towels even for just one night stay. We stayed with our dog, and although there was a small additional charge for that, everything was very smooth and straightforward.
- Diane (9/5): Clean, comfortable, and inexpensive place to stay - Good location. Modest, but clean and efficient rooms. Would stay here again. Everything was fine. Towels could be better.
- Eduardo (5/5): Very basic motel - Very basic motel. Big room and confortable beds. They forgot to bring our beakfast. They did not have milk.
- Keshava Murthy (10/5): -
- Lynne (10/5): - Parking
- Justin (8/5): Nittany reveiw - The convenience of the location... It was away from all the college kids and not far from Sheetz
- Paul (6/5): Needs new beds - And all the traveling that we do this was by far the worst bed we've ever slept in. Hotel is in need of a major upgrade of their beds. Also really don't like sitting in my room and all I can smell is marijuana. I know that it's from the guests, not the hotel, but I think they would do more to enforce people from standing outside the doors smoking marijuana.
- Brian (8/5): -
- islam (10/5): -
- michellewY9294EZ (10/5): Simple and Comfortable - Great place to stay when visiting Penn State during the week. Only 7 minutes from campus. Second time staying here. Love the continental breakfast delivered to the room. It’s not fancy but it’s clean and comfortable. Kelly at the desk was very friendly and helpful.
- Michele (10/5): - Check in was great! Kelly is very friendly. Room was very clean. Area is quiet. Room is nice size and helpful to have a fridge, comfy bed and nice tv.
- Mary (7/5): -
- Minesh (8/5): Kelly Butns at check in desk was great - Clean, well furnished rooms not applicable
- shyniece (6/5): You get what you pay for. 😊 - I liked the location, it wasn't far from my destination. I would liked if the toilet seat was newer and the sink wouldn't drain so slow.
