Our family enjoyed having a couple of options for dining that would accommodate children and please adults as well. We experienced exceptional service in The Dining Room for breakfast and dinner. Wiskers is much more laid back and casual offering great drink selection and good food, with equally great service. For a hotel that is 90 years old the building and amenities are in great shape, offering several loung areas for reading, multiple ballrooms, and a small but well appointed fitness room with state of the art cardio equipment. The room was standard size with nice furnishings and well decorated. The bathroom did offer a nice size tub for soaking after long day of exploring the campus and catching a few games. The Inn is very easy to get in and out of with plenty of parking options close, which in State College is a huge plus. It is within walking distance to many of the activities on campus and shopping and dining options are only a short walk. Conveniently The Lion Shrine is steps away as well as Rec Hall. I would recommend this property as the history and architecture are a throw back to the past, while bringing technology into the fold and wrapping it in a unique package.
