Courtyard by Marriott State College

Hotel was clean, room was comfortable and room service was available upon request. Front desk personnel was very helpful and customer focused.

I have nothing to complain about regarding the staff. Very pleasant and informative. Check in and out is a breeze. The room was spotless. The only issue I had was my room was facing a restaurant, and there were dumpsters outside the balcony area. The employees of the restaurant were banging the top of the dumpsters literally all night, until the early morning hours, taking out the trash. I was woken up every time they did until at least 4:00 am. The room was in great condition, but be advised that there is no microwave. There is also no hair dryer, so you may want to start tour shower early to have time for your hair to dry before bed, or remember to travel with one. Parking can be very limited on a busy weekend night if arriving back to hotel late at night. The dumpsters at the restaurant are no fault of the hotel, but be advised to try to book a room on the other side of the hotel if you want to sleep.

The staff were friendly and kind. The cleanliness was wonderful! The bed was so comfortable, I looked forward to going to sleep every night. While I didn't use the pool or gym, I could tell they were rather nice and the kids in the hotel certainly enjoyed the pool. I was impressed they had a guest laundry for folks staying for a while. It was the perfect location for my visit to Penn State, as I was able to easily drive to each of my events and it was convenient to nearby shopping. It felt very safe for me as a single female traveling alone. I will definitely stay here again next time I need to come to the area.
