Just a super charming hotel in State College. Decorated in fun and quirky wallpaper, carpets and fabrics. Enjoyed our stay!
4.5
Beautiful hotel, very unique, staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was clean and well taken care of.
4.5
Very cute, the decor is fun. Elevators are a little aged. Convenient location and parking.
4.5
i just would like to ask you to put special attention to your housekeeping service, not daily my room was cleaned, and had to asked you to go and do it. all the rest was perfect
4.5
It’s an old property. Though they have done well to give it a decent apparently, the reality is the “bones” of the place is old.
That said, check in staff were so nice and made it a smooth process despite having new *clunky* Hilton systems.
Parking garage tight for SUVs.
Had a women (assume she was drunk) try to enter our room. Not the hotels fault but still unclear if she actually opened our door or not so that was a bit troublesome.
Beds were comfortable. Great location.
It’s ok to stay here but the price point is way too high for how old it is.
4.5
This hotel is extremely outdated. The rooms are extremely dark. My room only jad one window and the blind don't go up! The beds are low and uncomfortable. And, there is a huge Penn State lion lamp in the room! I've never seen anything that alarming in a room.
4.5
Love the college theming of the Graduate Hotel
line. Very well appointed. Staff are all
pleasant and helpful.
4.5
A great stay here. So convenient for the shops/restaurants/campus. Clean, friendly staff.
Our room was quite noisy with road traffic on Monday morning but the only downside
4.5
Quirky and fun establishment. Only stayed one night but had a good nights sleep and accommodations were fine.
4.5
Excellent! Very pretty & quaint
4.5
We booked a king, got 2 queen beds. overall pretty average hotel at a higher than average price.
If you are planning on parking, the spaces are tiny, expect to unload then park.
4.5
Great location needs to have elevators upgraded.
4.5
Room was great but the long pillow that says ‘we are’ smells. It isn’t cleaned or washed or even changed after every guests I guess. Tissue box is almost empty so had to buy one. Most importantly, the exhaust in the bathroom is disgustingly dirty. I have a picture to prove. Elevator is also slow. But overall, it was a nice stay if you don’t plan on staying in the hotel the whole day.
4.5
I loved how unique the hotel was. It was a little difficult to find due to the construction.
4.5
Haven’t stayed here since it was the Atherton. Rooms have been nicely renovated and were very comfortable.
4.5
Love State College and this was nice stay.
4.5
Nice front desk experience, nice renovations of an older hotel, pleasant staff.
4.5
Both keys didn’t work, had to wait in line again. Overall cleanliness left a lot to be desired….had to have housekeeping mop and vacuum floors…considering canceling my future reservation
4.5
Property was very unique
4.5
Very loud by the street, outdated interior and exterior, garage is poorly lit, AC either on full blast and much too cold or turn off and too warm, there is really no middle
4.5
Super cool place.
Really well kept!
4.5
Lack of signage and one way streets made it difficult to locate, the parking garage was extremely tight. The lobby and common area is very nicely decorated and spacious. I had to wait for the one front desk person to arrive to check in. The rooms are cute but there was hair all through the shower and on tile when we arrived. I paid a fee for late checkout which was great however my key stopped working so I had to return to the lobby to get it corrected. Aldo got 3 desserts from restaurant and the rice pudding was spoiled. On average stay was fine in good location but I was not wowed.
4.5
Property was clean, inviting and unique in decor. Loved the theme throughout the building. Would definitely stay again.
4.5
The room was not very clean, bathroom floor was filled with debris, rust in the shower, hairs in the shower and the bed sheets appeared to not be fresh. The parking garage is very tight if you have a larger vehicle. We did note the cleanliness to the property but no attempts were offered to remedy. I would not stay again.
4.5
Loved the atmosphere of this hotel. Everyone was super friendly, hotel and room were very clean. Great location as it is easily walkable to all the restaurants and shops. Wished they had a full service restaurant on site as the menu for breakfast was very limited and more like a cafe/coffee shop.
4.5
Stayed here before and will do so again in future. Just dont like charges for late checkout and then half day charge once you go past 1pm
4.5
It’s clean and with all necessary amenities. The staff is nice and it’s close to PennState.
4.5
I love the Graduate Hotels - the themes are fun, the details are fantastic (currently looking at the heisman trophy lamp in our room), the feel is nostalgic and the beds and linens are the best! One of my favorite places to stay!
4.5
Excellent property! Room was clean and comfortable, with what I would call eclectic Penn State themed decor. Bathroom was very nice, although water pressure was a little low. There is construction going on out on the street (not their fault, obviously), but as soon as that’s done, this would be a top notch facility.
4.5
This is a really good hotel, though there are stints during which the front desk is deserted.
4.5
Beautiful design that is both retro and trendy.
4.5
The property was in average condition. The parking garage however was quite dirty and very poorly lit. We were given 2 drink vouchers at check in which we attempted to exchange for a bottle of water and were denied, which seemed crazy that every other drink (even cocktails) would be complimentary but not a water? Instead, I purchased 2 cardboard bottles of water for a whopping $15!!!!!
4.5
Very nice hotel within easy walking distance of many restaurants and shops in downtown State College.
4.5
An amazing property, right in downtown. One of the best places to stay in State College.
4.5
Excellent staff. Very clean. Super charming
4.5
This place is the best!!!
4.5
Love the location
4.5
Great place to stay when visiting Penn state!
4.5
Nice place, centrally located, but pricey. Would have preferred a free breakfast or at least coffee available after 8:00am. Room was barely touched by maids.
4.5
What a cute hotel!!! There are so many personal touches like footballs carved into the headboard, a nittany lion lamp, and old Penn State IDs as the room keys. It was wonderful and I would stay here again for sure! Walkable to campus and downtown with a great parking garage.
