A sweet mom n’ pop property run by a lovely young family. Cheaper than anything in State College and right on the doorsteps of The Waffle Shop and a wonderful Greek restaurant, I always make this my budget friendly stay when I’m visiting my son at PSU. It’s a rare find.
The location from Main campus Penn State could not be better! Front desk is very nice. I only took off stars because the rooms are very outdated and even the one that said non smoking smelled like smoke. I still slept very well.
Three of us stayed for two nights for a sporting event in the area. Prior reviews stated the motel was clean but unfortunately, our experience wasn't the same. Our room smelled like smoke/mustiness to the point my daughter felt nauseous. There were stains on the walls of the bathroom and the bedding. Occupants of rooms next door were drinking and loud outside on Sat night which made our family feel unsafe. The woman at the front desk was friendly and very helpful but we won't stay here again.

Sits next to Waffle Shop so it’s convenient for breakfast.
The place was exactly as advertised. It’s an old-school motel, but our room was recently renovated and was quite clean and comfortable.
I would definitely recommend The Stevens!
They were very nice and it was clean. It was also a good price for a busy weekend. The room needs to be updated. It is very outdated. It was hot in the room. We turned on the air, but the air conditioner was extremely old and had ice on it in the middle of the night. Luckily we were able to open a window. We were told they are getting new air conditioners. We realized they had the heat on, too. It was a warm night in the spring. The Wifi did not work the first night we were there, but the morning we were leaving it was working. The motel was fine for what we needed - it was clean and as mentioned the office staff were nice. The walk across to the Waffle Shop was great!
