The hotel was beautiful, but we couldn’t sleep due to an extremely loud air conditioning unit that rattled excessively. We also had to run the hot water for at least 20 minutes before it got warm. The room did not look like the room I booked online(no couch and smaller).

We'll stay here again!
We had a quick but great stay at the Nittany Lion Inn. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Staff was very helpful (especially in getting my daughter's wallet, which was left at Rec Hall, returned to her) and friendly. We had lunch at Whiskers. Our waiter Jack was attentive and the food was tasty. The brunch buffet in the dining room was very good!

Opportunity to stay at Primo hotel @ PSU
We don’t get a chance to stay here very often because we have friends who live near State College and we stay with them. But they were not home and we were attending a PSU basketball game so when I saw we could stay at the Nittany Lion Inn for such a reasonable price it was a no brained. Beautiful hotel and enjoyed our stay.
