Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center
We had the interior room. There was no sunlight. It was a bit gloomy. The room was not bad, could have been cleaned a bit better. The beds were comfy. It was a good location for Penn State. The price was too high but I guess that’s how the area is for busy weekends
