Clean rooms and great location but with huge mechanical problems. My room along with several other guest rooms had no AC. The rooms were saunas and the windows could not open. Went down to front desk and they where aware of rooms not having AC so they kept emergency rooms to change guest. My question is why not verify rooms have AC prior to guest arrival. Front guest staff also told me that various other items in hotel need fixing and a lot of stuff is falling apart like multiple AC units through hotel and hallways, vending machines all out of order. As of right now my stay was not worth a penny to pay and the only fox was to change rooms but does anyone want to change rooms for the exact same issues. Various guest states they changed to find the same issue. I decided to stay in my room but family got no sleep and stay was not worth a penny. Learned a huge lesion. Travelers beware and make sure you check AC prior to unpacking.…

We did a quick overnight trip to PSU and enjoyed our stay at this Quality Inn. The rooms were nice and appeared to be newly remodeled. I made our reservation with the hotel directly and Samantha at the front desk was very friendly, patient, and helpful. When asked, she even suggested a great place for dinner (Otto’s Pub and Brewery), which I highly recommend and wrote a review for as well. When we arrived, Michael was also very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was varied and plentiful. There was fresh coffee and tea available all day/night and a refrigerator in the room, which were nice and unexpected amenities.

Not much to say here, and can't believe I'm going 5-stars for a Quality Inn, but I really had no complaints after staying here on a Friday evening during the State College Arts Festival. In fact, I must say the king sized bed was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I've ever slept in. I still don't know why hotels don't provide king size pillows for a king size bed (that really irks me), but a quite comfortable bed nonetheless. And, if you're interested in drinking downtown, the Lyft/Uber fare was < $10. Nice. We actually overslept into Saturday morning, but the friendly front desk gent allowed us a late check-out - perfect. I'd probably stay here again, considering it's one of the more affordable properties in town.

Thank you for your feedback. We replaced our beds in March of 2020, so they are brand new! We have heard many times that we are the BEST Quality Inn that someone has stayed at. We hope to see you again this year for the annual Festival of the Arts.

The Pros here were a clean room, a very well-functioning, quiet air conditioning system and a powerful toilet that would never need a plunger. But...the room had the worst-smelling and bad-tasting tap water just about anywhere in the U.S. Front desk said the city has a chlorine problem. To me it smelled like mold. One of the four LED lights in the bathroom flickered more than occasionally (EVEN AFTER THE LIGHTSWITCH WAS TURNED OFF - but only for a few seconds). The bathtub shower was an odd 5-sided wedge shape that was awkward to move around in. I was told bag-and-go breakfast in the morning, but a tasty cold breakfast was served, with several good selections, even a hard-boiled egg. Maybe my saying something had struck a nerve?

State College has very bad tasting water. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do as a business to alleviate that. We do have ready to heat breakfast sandwiches available from our guest services agent upon request with a few signs indicating so. We hope to see you again so we can exceed your expectations.

The room was dirty. A used washcloth was left draped on the shower rod, and the toilet had other people's hair in the rim and on the seat. I was surprised by this lack of attention to basic hospitality details, as I've stayed at the hotel before. It's difficult to imagine this business surviving with so many other hotels in State College offering clean accommodatons.

Michael, I disappointed to hear we did not exceed your expectations. I will most definitely be speaking with my executive housekeeper about the issues you had in your bathroom. Since you stated you have stayed with us before, you know this is not the way we do business. We hope to see you again soon so we can exceed your expectations.

Walked into lobby to see a sign saying "Welcome Marsha" !! Staff is friendly, helpful & knowledgeable. Rooms are super clean! Beds, pillows & linens are great! What more could you ask for? Oh yes, WONDERFUL price! About half of some of the comparable places in the area.

We stayed one night. The hotel was quiet, the staff was pleasant to deal with and the breakfast was good. It is located close to many of the activities available in State College. The HVAC unit was a little on the loud side but not enough to request a different room.
