The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center

The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center

8/10 Good
"The Penn Stater is always a great place to stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the service was very responsive. We requested a cot, and it was delivered to our room right away, which we really appreciated. My only disappointment was at checkout. We asked for just a 30-minute extension, but were told they were expecting a large conference group and could not accommodate the request. I completely understand that they needed to prepare for incoming guests, but considering we were only asking for an additional 30 minutes, I was disappointed that there wasn’t a little more flexibility."

"My room was very nice, attractively decorated and clean. Staff were helpful- front desk gave me a perfect room positioned for someone travelling with a dog. It was actually quiet considering where it was. A staff member on break helped me get in a side entrance when the scanner wasn’t reading my room key. There could be improvements made to the complimentary breakfast , possibly a protein choice? Breakfast seemed very limited."
