Nice hotel for visiting Penn State
The hotel was nice, but it was out from any restaurants and night life. The hotel was great that it didn’t require a 2 night stay, but was very expensive. Also for paying about $1000 a night and not having breakfast included was not great. In the morning, the water and the coffee was out. The shuttle service to the game was very convenient. The rooms were very spacious and quiet. The bathroom was large.

We always loved staying at the Penn Stater. This time around, we didn't sleep well. The bed felt like a pull out mattress. They also provide coffee in the room, but no water to make the coffee. I will definitely stay again, but may need to more picky.

2nd time staying at this hotel. Recent stay in the 5 series rooms. The bathroom needs re-grouting, black moldy spots were everywhere. The tub was unstable (felt as if I would fall through). Bathroom was very small - fit one person at a time. Carpet was also not very clean. Hotel is outdated. The Legend restaurant was good convenient food. The hotel does have free parking.
