Construction!

Check in was at the back of the hotel due to construction. Tree trimming was also being done at that entrance. The walkway was covered with tree limbs and branches. Not only was it inconvenient, but also unsafe. When we came back after dinner, there was very little lighting on the walkway. When we turned on the shower we had to wait almost 10 minutes for the hot water to come on. Room was dated. A microwave and safe would be helpful. We were unaware there would be construction

My first impression was it seemed empty. Not a lot of cars in the parking lot and upon entering looked quiet. Renovations definitely going on. The room was definitely recently done and was sparkling clean. Only negative was the walls are pretty thin so you hear every door closing. Great staff. Very helpful with every question. Left something behind and called. They were very responsive in trying to help us out and called me back to let me know they located the item.

The renovations look great! I have stayed at The PennStater many times and always have a wonderful stay. This was my first visit in one of the newly renovated king rooms. Love the new decor in the bedroom and bathroom. The only issue was a clogged drain in the shower.

As of June 30, 2025, the beautiful lobby you see in the online promotional pictures is GONE. It is under renovation and completely torn apart. Guests are forced to enter into a makeshift “lobby” on the other side of the building. The Hotel itself is located apart from all the goings on in State College and Penn State. If you want to be close to the action in town and at the college, this is *not* the place for you. Driving down Innovation Boulevard to the hotel is an experience like no other and not in a good way. Everything was deserted. No people No cars. I wondered if the apocalypse had happened. Really weird! The room itself was clean and comfortable but maybe a little outdated. Hotel-wide renovations are currently underway. Not sure if they will be completed in 2025.
