The cons however... all the rooms are located on the third floor and there is no elevator (that I could find). Could be a challenge if you have an extended stay and are traveling with a lot of luggage. There is no parking and street parking is not permitted over night so you have to walk about a block to the closest garage (only cost ten bucks for the night). I can not comment on the employees cause I never meant one. Everything was handled on line. This is a nice spot in the heart of downtown, I would give it that fifth star if it wasn't for the parking situation but that's just my personal preference.

In my case, the room cost was lower than the hotels downtown plus being on campus was really nice for the reasons I was there. My room was well appointed with a good sized clothes hanging area. The bathroom was nicely renovated (no fan, water pressure was fine). Room decor and furniture type was interesting, older style, but perhaps I've stayed in one too many high tech modern hotels. Room service came every day. The staff as a whole were unbelievably nice and helpful to me, especially with airline issues. Dining choices were very good (both restaurants) and the Dear Joe coffee shop was a positive surprise. I would absolutely stay here again....if I have the chance.

After driving up there we come to find out that someone at 7am that morning manually put us on waitlist and gave up our room.

Mary Jane checked us in, gave us cookies, and offered coupons from 3 restaurants. (We ended up eating at the Plaza Mexican Bar and Grill in front of the Courtyard by Marriott). She advised us that there would be a large group of sherrifs eating breakfast at 6:30, as there isn't a whole of seating available. The lobby even had PSU decor, featuring balloons and an inflatable Nittany Lion. Our room was a spacious suite with two queen beds, microwave, refrigerator, safe, desk, and sofa bed. I especially liked the 3-sided alarm clock. The room was very clean, quiet, and modern. The mattress were recently replaced, making it seem like the beds were high off of the ground. I also enjoyed the indoor pool, which was a decent size and temperature. Apparently there used to be a hot tub in the corner, which has since been boarded up. Other amenities include a small exercise room, computer/business center, meeting room, and a small sitting area near the breakfast room. The breakfast was a highlight of our stay with a variety of items to choose from (waffles, French toast, muffins, bagels, cereal, etc). The toaster seemed complicated to use, as the attendant kept having to help guests use it. There was a man sitting near us who happened to be a country singer, traveling with his wife and mother. We enjoyed staying here and would highly recommend it to others looking for a clean, well-run hotel near Penn State. Keep up the good work!

The only thing negative I have to say is that the quick service drinks in the restaurant are a tad bit overpriced, but it's a hotel so you can always expect a little bit more money. There's plenty of places around if you want to go to the store. Oh, and the bed is comfortable so far we'll see how I feel at the end of the week. And the coolest thing the room keys are old student ID from Penn State.

Having stayed at many Hiltons, this was incredibly disappointing. Outside of front desk team…read moremembers being friendly, the overall experience has been well below general expectations for a Hilton - and even basic expectations of any hotel! Some serious concerns about this hotel: 1- First night the air conditioning would not work. It was uncomfortably hot in the room. Called the front desk and the person said no one was around to help - so "just open a window." We did, and had an evening with an open window with no screen. Luckily no daredevil squirrels climbed in and no birds - or bats - chose to invade our space! 2- After three days - there had been no room service. No fresh towels - no emptying of trash - and no replacement of toilet paper. This was after I was leaving the room one day and "room service" was at the door and, in a somewhat rude manner, asked: "Do you want room service?" I said - "oh yes - thank you - I was just leaving." She appeared to go into the room - but I have no idea what she did as, again, no towels were changed out, trash was still in the trash cans, and beds were not made. 3- We ran out of toilet paper, so we asked for some - and then went out. I have included a picture of what we found upon our return - toilet paper left outside of the room - not even brought into the room and put on the roller. 4- An unexplained charge appeared on my card from the hotel - at 11:11 PM when the whole family was in bed. I inquired on this, and as of this time, no one at the hotel can figure out what was charged - still waiting on that to hopefully be explained and, if in error, resolved. 5- The treadmill in the gym has been broken and out of order - as such, I had to go to Planet Fitness. Yet, we have been charged a $10/day "resort fee." This is NOT a resort - and am entirely unclear what this $10 a day charge is going toward. 6- While hot water worked in the morning - by 9:00 PM we did not have any hot water. I called and the person at the front desk said "oh, just keep the water running - it has to come from the other side of the building so it takes awhile to heat up." Uhm, we left it running for about 10 minutes - just cold water. I am unsure how this hotel was allowed to have the Hilton name. Needless to say, we will not be staying here again.

Great Location Good Value…read more We spent two weekend nights the the Hyatt Place State College PA and were pleased with our visit. Per the staff, the hotel was renovated and it was a great clean condition. We had a seventh floor double suite and our rooms were very clean, comfortable, and just right in size. The double queens had good mattresses. We thoroughly enjoyed the Hyatt Place Lobby Bar for nightcaps each night. Tina, the bar tender was very welcoming, friendly, and professional. Tina was the top staff performer at the hotel - Kudos to her. Hotel parking was very easy with a 6 story parking garage around the block and validated fees. Only one slight complaint - the TV signal in our rooms was not good. The TVs took quite along time to lock-in a signal and struggled to keep it. Out TVs would simply shut off mid program which was annoying. We left out TVs on during the day (mute) in order to keep a signal. We would definitely stay at Hyatt Place State College again next visit. Cheers.

As soon as you walk into the lobby…read more.. There is an EMPTY desk with a sign on it directing you to take the elevator to the second floor for your check-in. That's a very cold first impression.... You should have somebody at that desk, checking people in with a secondary location available on the second floor. For security reasons alone.... That is a big mistake. I have traveled across this country and to many other countries.... You never walk into an empty lobby with a sign on a desk. miserable fail..... I took the elevator to the second floor to check in. You need to know your license plate number which I didn't. Therefore, I had to go back downstairs through the cold lobby outside to get my plate number. This place does not have its own parking and they make you pay for the parking deck across the street. They do not own that parking deck, so it is packed with just anybody... Very inconvenient.... I've been coming up to Penn State since my son became a student 20 years ago and then I subsequently bought rental units. I do not usually stay at this hotel, but my Hyatt card allowed me some free nights at this place, so I took them. Your room key also works the elevator. That is quite bizarre. I am familiar with a room key, giving you access to a penthouse or restricted floors but not every floor. Are you worried about Security? Why don't you put a member of your staff at that empty desk in your lobby? You know where that large staircase is leading up to the second floor? Somebody with ill intentions can easily walk into your lobby walk right up the steps to where people are gathered at the bar or the restaurant.... There is nobody to stop them at the first point of entry. Bizarre. July 4, 2026 day one Barely any television service the entire afternoon or evening. I called a few times about this issue and they seemed less than impressed. There is this sound of water through the pipes in the bathroom that rushes through consistently and then it's very loud and I'm not sure about it. The room was very clean. July 5, 2026 Headed to the second floor for their breakfast. I have to start a painting job so I was there at 6:30 when it opened. The buffet was very clean and well organized. Food was good. Then I headed to the front desk, where I spoke to Martin about the television set. I told him I had already called the day before a few times. He said he would have it checked. I went to work. I came back at 4 PM. I could not get into the parking garage. The card that they gave me suddenly stopped working. I called to help button and they told me to cancel on the screen. I did that and it offered me a ticket to pay for parking. So now I will have to bring that to the front desk this morning before I head out to work. When I arrived back at my room, my room was not cleaned. I had to call the front desk and ask for towels and coffee. They came up right away. They did not leave me any bottled water for the coffee. I called the front desk. They told me they do not give out more mini waters after the first day. It's literally two bottles of miniature waters that might add up to one regular bottle. This place is supposed to be considered upscale in this neighborhood.... Im from the city so upscale has a different meaning for me. I would not stay here again for one very important reason only.... That entrance point into this hotel is open to anyone and everyone. There is nobody on the first floor to check anybody. That is a HUGE security breach in a time where Security needs to be at the forefront of our minds.
