Huge hotel out of downtown area. Staff were friendly. The room was average. I didn't love the mattress or bedding but everything was clean which is the main thing.
The great thing about this property is that you are out of the hustle and bustle downtown. It is a beautiful property that was so nice to walk with my dog. The pub was convenient and the staff was excellent.
Frequent visitor to State College. Visiting for a family member funeral. 3 rooms, 1 of which is for 2 handicap seniors in a handicap accessible room.
Beds, from the online pictures, looked to be on wooden platforms. I called a week prior to confirm that the handicap room was NOT on platforms in that I needed access under the beds for a sit-to-stand device. Was told that the handicap room beds were not on platforms.
Upon check-in the handicap room was on a wooden platform with no under bed access.
Abigail, at the front desk, was a hero. Too often you get a silent "sorry, sucks to be you" attitude from people. Abigail showed empathy and went above and beyond to help us find an acceptable room. HIGH compliments to this young lady.
We ended up finding a "work-around" for the room we had which saved the day for our elderly parents mourning the loss of a brother.
Love the Penn Stater, highly recommend everything about it. Great environment! Great location!
Didn't get to visit the Legends sports bar or the gift shop but I will on my next visit. Told everyone at the front desk how Abigail was such a superstar!
Room was unkept when we entered. No bedspread on the bed. Over the 2 days, no maid service to empty garbage or provide clean towels. Body wash container was empty in shower. When I requested clean towels person who brought them expected a tip. When checking out, asked for a receipt. They could not give me one. Still dont know what my final bill was. We have to think that we had the substandard room because we booked with Expedia. Overall we will never stay at the Penn Stater again.
