Hilton Garden Inn State College

The Hilton Garden Inn State College is about a mile from most of Penn State University’s campus on the eastern edge of the State College, Pennsylvania. It is about 6-miles to the University Park Airport and the hotel offers a free shuttle. Set off a busy road without sidewalks, the short distance to campus is not walkable, but an intermittent shuttle is offered during business hours. Clean lines, dark woods and a sage green accent wall appear in all guest rooms and suites; there’s also microwaves, minifridges, workspaces with ergonomic chairs and complimentary Wi-Fi. Some smoking rooms are available, and a handful of suites have in-room whirlpools. Recent guests appreciated the helpful customer service, especially in returning items that had been left behind. This property has a small but well-outfitted fitness center that overlooks the indoor wading pool and whirlpool. A 24-hour business center is also available for guest use and there is laundry and room service available. The on-site restaurant, Harrison’s Wine Grill, serves breakfast (not included), and seasonal dishes – pasta, burgers, steaks, seafood – made with local ingredients for lunch and dinner (reservations welcome). Hilton Honors members can accrue and redeem points at this location, too.
