They advertise free parking that is not true.Looks like they took an old building and covered it with wood panels and paint.Add new furniture.The halls were dirty .The bathroom was so dirty .Also bring a pillow the pillows on the beds were of stuffing .Diego yelled at me for taking my car out and didn’t have them move it.He was part of the valet parking team.Never again .

My sister & I stopped in to have a cocktail and some snacks at the 1855 Lounge. Very comfortable and a wonderful bar staff…friendly, informative and conversational. We had charcuterie-and while it was very good- some elevated, local cheeses would be great!

Room was absolutely great. I found the staff to be a bit “cold” which is surprising for the area. The breakfast buffet was terrible and quite overpriced. I’d absolutely recommend the hotel — just suggest that you eat in town instead of at the hotel.

We checked in and had dinner, which was great. When I went to get into the bed, it litterally slumped to the side. You got the feeling you were sleeping on a hill. To make matters worse, our blind was stuck in the open position. Given our proximity to a walkway outside our room and our ground level location, we really didn’t have much privacy, until we stuffed pillows into the opening.

We stayed at the Nittany lion inn the night of the eagle mania concert at the State theater. It has an impressive lobby with a beautiful chandelier, free apples, dispensers of flavored water and little alcoves with couches for meeting with your friends in a private setting . the rooms are well appointed and luxurious. We had several drinks before and after the concert at triplets. Our server, Andy was fantastic. He described all the cocktails and mixed up a pineapple margarita and Aperol spritz for me that were delicious . We enjoyed talking to him about the hotel and the different music venues around town. Andy was very personable. We had a great stay!

Our (May 30th) weekend stay at the Nittany Lion Inn could not have been better. Celebrating our 45th wedding anniversary, everyone could not have been nicer and more accommodating. Especially at Tripplett's; Bartenders Andy & Morgan and Server Michelle generated an atmosphere of warm-friendliness and yes fun-energy. Oh, the food and drinks were great too. Compared to our last visit in October, 2024, the service at the Lionne was tremendously improved. Hostess Michelle and server Victoria (along with a trainee) could not have been nicer and prompt in serving delicious food. Thank you all, Nick

The hotel looks very fresh as there was a recent remodeling. Some of the rooms are very oddly shaped and if you like to watch the giant TV from bed, you are out of luck. They do not offer handicapped parking on site, only valet. The university lot is a short walk away, but still a walk away. This is a DYI hotel, no assistance is offered with luggage. The best part of the experience are the new showers, those are great.
