    colonial decor
    delicious bisque

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    The timeless colonial decor, from the fine chandeliers in the lobby to the cozy seating areas perfect for a tête-à-tête. I adored the delicious lobster bisque at Whiskers Pub- a must-try! Having complimentary fresh apples and filtered water available added such a thoughtful touch to our experience.

    cozy spots
    filtered water
    plumbing issue

    wonderful experience but minor plumbing issue

    The hotel had many cozy spots perfect for relaxing. The filtered water bottle stations were a nice bonus that made staying hydrated easy.

    The toilet in my room had a minor flushing issue.

    comfy beds
    relaxing pool
    dim room light

    I loved the comfy beds and enjoyed a relaxing dip in the pool during my stay. The spa offered some great treatments, which really helped me unwind. The only thing I noticed was that a light in the room could be brighter, but it didn’t dampen my overall experience. 😊

    delicious brunch
    cozy lounge spots
    no breakfast options
    firm mattress

    The culinary adventure at Triplett’s was a highlight, with fresh-cracked eggs that could make any brunch fanatic swoon. Plus, the cozy spots around the hotel make for the perfect hangout post-meal.

    Brunch wasn’t available due to low traffic, and no complimentary breakfast option left me craving morning bites. A softer bed wouldn’t hurt either, as I found the mattress a bit firm for my taste.

    charming experience
    lovely campus
    warm atmosphere
    dim lighting

    Staying at the Nittany Lion Inn transported me to a warm, cozy atmosphere. The Penn State decor delighted me, and the cleanliness was great. The only downside was the need for brighter lights in the room. A charming experience on this lovely campus!

    accessible features
    improvement needed

    During my stay, I was charmed by the historic decor and warm ambiance of the Nittany Lion Inn, which featured a beautiful lobby adorned with stunning chandeliers and tasteful furnishings that truly reflected the university's heritage.

    Could use more accessible features for seniors.

    quick maintenance service
    comfortable beds
    nice dinner spot
    wonky heating system

    Great stay with comfy vibes!

    Pretty good overall! The maintenance team was super quick to fix the sink drain issue when I let them know. The computerized heating was a bit annoying since it wouldn't turn off, but they took care of it quick next morning. Whiskers bar is a nice spot for dinner too. And those apples? A nice touch!
