Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Nittany Lion Inn. It is a beautiful Inn and in the most beautiful area being right on the Penn State campus.

Summary: The only negative is parking. There is only valet $25/ night which you can go in and out unlimited, but its slow and sometimes the valet is not readily available or garage parking that is $12, but not sure if there is a charge for in and out. The property is beautiful, excellent staff, easy check in and great location. Our room was spacious with a great bathroom and a comfortable bed. Lovely garden atrium, abundant quiet & gathering spaces. The restaurants were good but limited menus. If weather permits and you are able, you can walk to places because it is on the west part campus but atleast a 13min walk to restaurants.

Summary: Room was nice. handicap accessible. halls are like a maze. Parking is in a separate building, which is a bit of a hassle. Close to campus. Not worth the price in my opinion unless you can get in during a non busy time of year.

Summary: The hotel was beautifully renovated and in a good location. 1.7 miles from Beaver stadium. It was a great option for the IM 70.3. Staff were accommodating with all of our gear. The air conditioning unit beside one of the beds was annoying. That is my only complaint. I would stay there again.
