We had a quick but great stay at the Nittany Lion Inn. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff was very helpful (especially in getting my daughter's wallet, which was left at Rec Hall, returned to her) and friendly. We had lunch at Whiskers. Our waiter Jack was attentive and the food was tasty. The brunch buffet in the dining room was very good!
We don’t get a chance to stay here very often because we have friends who live near State College and we stay with them. But they were not home and we were attending a PSU basketball game so when I saw we could stay at the Nittany Lion Inn for such a reasonable price it was a no brained. Beautiful hotel and enjoyed our stay.
I was told there was a hotel shuttle that could take me and my family to the concert. 30 minutes later when I came down to catch the shuttle I was told they were unavailable and at the airport. Terrible valet service. Had way too many customers and not enough workers.
