Beautifully done inside and outside. The staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful.
One side of my mattress was concave. Like an older mattress that someone has slept on 1 side forever. Had to move to the other side to get more comfortable.

The hotel has a very warm and comfortable feel. Very clean and very helpful staff.
The pillows were over stuffed and large where it was uncomfortable on our head and neck for both my husband and me. Also, we stayed for two nights and our room was never cleaned and restocked, as we were gone all day at the Hockey game. We did not have a Do Not Disturb sign on our door either. I had to ask for fresh towels since room was not attended to.

Hotel was close to rec Hall and parking was close to the hotel. The hotel was Penn State themed, which made it even better. The ambience of the hotel was classic Penn State, and sitting next to the fire in the main sitting room was a wonderful experience after a cold night.
The coffee maker made small strong cups of coffee, similar to an espresso. I ended up going downstairs to the small restaurant at the hotel to get regular coffees and they were five dollars apiece.
The website said that there would be robes in the rooms and there were not any in our room. We were told it was only for the suites.

The Inn is beautifully maintained and is all-class. The room was large and well appointed, staff was super friendly and all of the lobby/common areas are comfortably arranged.
We could only adjust the climate in the room to 66, which was a little too warm for our liking on a cool fall night. We opened the windows what little we could, but it was still not very comfortable. And the heating/cooling unit was super loud and would kick on every 40 minutes or so. All 4 pillows were super firm, it would have been nice to have some variety in the mix. Overall, it was a horrible night's sleep!

Wonderful hotel. Close to the Penn State golf course so that was convenient.

The location on Campus makes the NLI special. The fact that it’s been there forever makes it iconic.
Some of the older rooms are showing signs of wear.
We were in a blue painted room and there were lots of chips in the blue paint.
The older wings also have a water temperature issue, hot never gets hot and cold water never gets cold.
The remodel included Lavazza kcup machines with two cup size options.
Ours didn’t work properly.
The rooms could use small microwaves, but you can live without one.
We will stay there six times during hockey season.
It’s our only stay destination at Penn State the past forty years.

Breakfast was very good. The room and bed were comfortable. The setting and decor are very pleasant.
All of the pillows are enormous and inflexible. I had to go without a pillow at all because the angle the pillows create hurt my neck.

Iconic hotel on the campus of THE Penn State University
Tripplets menu needs to be expanded with more appetizer and sandwich options. As need to get the shuttle back to offer rides to on campus events.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Nittany Lion Inn — it perfectly captures the charm and spirit of Penn State. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more attentive.
