It’s a Blue White Favorite

This year’s guests are consistently giving the hotel 5/5 stars on Google, applauding their staff, their safety (the hotel follows AHLAs stringent Stay Safe initiative) … and telling everyone to order the check out the great food and drinks at Legends.

From the start of the experience with Charlie picking me up at the airport to Maria at check‑in. The staff was invisible yet attentive. Thanks Penn Stater for knowing who to keep on staff representing during challenging times.

Super easy to check in. Friendly and helpful staff. ... The attached Pub is great for anyone who wants to relax at the hotel and grab great food and a few adult drinks.

Amazing service, great rooms, and amazing food. In the perfect location for a nice stay in State College.
