Residence Inn by Marriott State College

I’m a Marriott Elite member of 4 years with roughly 30–40 total night stays, and this was overall a good experience with a few areas for improvement. Check-in was smooth, and I appreciated the complimentary water bottle for being an Elite member (only the second time I’ve received a check-in gift, so it was a nice touch). The room itself was comfortable, though the bathroom tub showed noticeable peeling, as if it had been painted over. A proper refitting or renovation of the tub would go a long way here. There was a noticeable weed smell when first entering the room. I was exhausted after a long day and didn’t request a room change, and the smell did seem to dissipate over time (or I got used to it), but it’s worth mentioning.

The free breakfast every day has waffles, bagels, yogurt, cereal, and oatmeal. The egg section changes every day which is nice. I recommend the frittata.

My favorite hotel in state college. Cozy but sizable rooms with a great layout esp if your sticking around for awhile and need to eat, work and sleep in one place. Nice staff. Unique place.
