What guests say
9.3 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 1,296 guest reviews
The Nittany Lion Inn earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently celebrating its elegant décor, prime campus location, and warm staff. Minor friction points — parking logistics, slow check-in, a sluggish drain, and food that is merely 'doable' — surface occasionally but rarely dampen an otherwise high-quality stay. It is widely regarded as the standout accommodation choice in State College.
