Staff was so nice and helpful recommending places to eat that were open on Easter Sunday

Super convenient, friendly staff, clean and modern
hard to control the thermostat and fan; street noise at night, depending on room location
3.5 / 5.0
Staff was great, helpful and courteous.
Price and for the price they should have had free parking at least. The walls needed painting and the wifi advertised as free was limited. Cheaper hotels give move to there customers for free than this place.

Bedroom with very poor cleaning. It was a suite with fridge and dishwasher and they were both dirty, with food stains and grease. Some left over food in the fridge as well. It was hard to convince someone to go and clean it, and even after that the cleaning was not decent. Main front desk (looked like the manager) was demeaning towards my parents and adopted a condescending tone when questioned about a price difference from credit card and booking website. When asked, the other staffed gave different reasons for the price difference observed, so they clearly had no idea why they were charging us more and apparently didn't care also. We were always very polite and nice but didn't receive the same treatment back. They say cleaning is every four days, but in reality, most people don't stay in State College for more than a couple of days, so you have to accept an overpriced experience without cleaning at all. Even the towels were not changed after requesting a simple towel refresh.

The location of the hotel and the room size.
The elevator and the corridors were dirty.
3.5 / 5.0
Location is the best part about this hotel, otherwise it's just another three star Hilton. You are very close to everything "Penn state" which is really why you would pick this hotel. Very clean, staff was nice and parking was simple as it was across the street.
Free breakfast would be nice as most Hiltons at this level have that.

Love the location and the room. Having complementary coffee.
Asked for an additional blanket that we never received. Shower could have been cleaner.
4.5 / 5.0
Great staff, clean rooms, and super comfortable beds. No frills but SOOO worth it!
nothing, it was great! Maybe a fridge in the room to help keep snacks and water cold that we brought with us

Beautiful property and nicely appointed. Huge room with comfortable beds and linens.
Communication regarding housekeeping could’ve been better. It’s only upon request and I had called down requesting housekeeping, and they never made it to our room. At least we received fresh towels from the front desk.
4.5 / 5.0
Quiet, large room, clean
Breakfast. I think it’s a new offering so they were not staffed and didn’t have the supplies to make items on the menu.
4.0 / 5.0
Convenient, room size, shower.
We have stayed there twice in the same room. First time, kitchen area was dirty. This time cleaner. But no toilet paper and the roll on bar was almost empty but folded in a triangle…thought that was funny. The additional bedding in cabinet appears to have been used and just stuffed back in storage bag. Tissues in tissue box appear to be taken from another and stuffed individually into box…weird. Just some housekeeping issues that could be improved on.

The location was excellant.
I reserved a room at 1:45. I informed them that I would arrive between 3:30 & 4. When I arrived around 4pm, my room wasn't ready. The desk clerk did apologize. I told him I would go get something to eat until my room was ready. He told me to go to the bar area & tell them my food would be on the house (which I appreciated). When I went to the lounge, I ordered food & was told the kitchen was closed. So, I ordered a drink (which was taken care of, which I did appreciate). My room was also upgraded to a suite, (which was very nice).
When I went to the desk later, I waited for a while until someone finally came out of the office. I said I wanted a wake up call for 10:30. The next morning, I woke up at 11:30. Needless to say, I felt rushed to check out, & didn't have time to shower. I did some shopping & stopped back at the desk to return the parking pass at 3pm. There was another guest at the desk when I arrived. She had been waiting for someone to show up at the desk also. We waited for a bit until someone came to the desk.
I do not want to get any of your employees in hot water, they were very apologetic & friendly. However, for the price of the room, I was expecting a much more positive experience. Needless to say, I was very disappointed. I come to State College frequently, as I am an alum of the university. I was looking forward to staying at your hotel, as it was the first visit to your establishment. Unfortunetely, from the poor experience I had, I can honestly say that I will not plan to stay at your hotel again.

nice and a great spot
fuse blew as soon as I plugged my phone in. and when I showered the pipes rattled and the water filled up halfway up my calves. I called the front desk and it couldn’t be fixed at night. I reminded them when I checked out and the employee said if the manger can credit me back money I will see it in my account.

I would’ve given this property the highest of ratings however, after a 6 Hour Dr. when it came time to check in, my room wasn’t ready. In fact it wasn’t ready for over an hour. It was chaos in the lobby and people are canceling their reservations to go somewhere else. I reached out to Hilton but they couldn’t help me because I booked through booking.com. I put two messages into booking.com about this issue and haven’t yet received A reply. Also disappointing. It’s now been five days. Would sure love to hear from somebody!
My room wasn’t ready for over an hour. Excuse after excuse.
