Nittany Lion Inn Review

Inviting and cozy. Clean and spacious. Amenable staff.

Beautiful.well maintained facility. Extremely friendly staff....was greeted with a smile by every staff member ALL DAY!!!

It was good, had a career fair there and they were very accomodating, especially offering up rooms for coats and school stuff

Great location, nice rooms, would definitely come back.

clean rooms, friendly staff. located within minutes of shopping and dinning.

Great nostalgic spot on the Penn State University campus. Old school charm with lots of dining options.

Lunch buffet for 16.95. All you can eat prime rib with a mushroom demiglace. It's easily the best value in town for prime rib. On top of this the lobster bisque is international class. Best value for fine dining in State College, at least for the lunch hours.

The Nittany Lion Inn has a wonderful atmosphere - no matter if you're there for a formal gala or relaxed brunch. I recommend the lobster bisque.

The room was extremely clean and a professional location for the event I attended

I was there for a reception so I don't have too much information but the ballroom is beautiful. Also the food, which was very good, was restocked very efficiently

Scholarships, open bars, hand towels in public bathrooms

It's a great place for events. The food is always great and the service never fails to impress.

Wonderful staff and friendly, homey atmosphere, and a great venue to hold and attend events as well.

Great event planning! Very beautiful and elegant hotel.

If these stars could go in the negative, that's what I would give this hotel. Dirty and unprofessional

I didn't get my water refilled right away but everything else was pretty nice. No complaints.

The ballrooms are large with great projectors and sound system. The food was excellent.

Very nice place. The people who work there are very professional. The food is wonderful.

The service was great. The staff was super friendly. Location was perfect, with easy access to campus. The only downside was that the rooms were a bit dated. The free apples in the lobby are a nice touch too!

When visiting Penn State, there is no place better to stay than right on campus. The hotel is a little dated, but everything was clean and well-maintained and the staff was very friendly and helpful. A little pricey, but worth it to stay on campus if available. There is plentiful parking available in the Nittany Parking Deck next door to the hotel, and parking is free for hotel guests.

I was only at the Nittany Lion Inn for a group meeting, but the room (Alumni Lounge) was very nicr

Premises are extremely well kept and the staff are friendly. Nice place for food and drinks as well.

Great place for meetings and conferences. Food is good as well.

My company had a breakfast/meeting there. The food was pretty good. Not a huge selection for a breakfast buffet, but it all tasted good. They wait staff was excellent and always kept my coffee cup full. The structure itself is quite beautiful and quaint.

Wait staff were courteous and professional. Food was delicious, had vegan options.

Was only in the main lobby. Seemed very nice. Worked well for the career fair I attend.

Excellent hotel. Very neat & clean. Very efficient services.

Good location and very historic. Very expensive though.

Nice, clean rooms and friendly staff, with a historical feel. Also good bar, Whiskers.

This is the classic, ultimate PSU experience. A homecoming for any graduate or fan. Our 3rd time in recent years and we'll be back.

The hotel was really nice, but a little older. Shower pressure was only ok. The rooms were very clean and the staff was excellent. If you're going to Penn State the location of the hotel can't be beat.

Facility was nice, food was not in line with the the facility and left a lot to be desired

Very nice building. Doesn't look like much on the outside but in the I side everything is extremely fancy. All I did there was attend a formal dinner but it was very nice inside. Also, they made good food.

Only stayed a single night but it was pleasant. Had my room paid for, so I can't speak to the price. The walls are a bit thin (could hear room conversations in the hallway), but the bed and pillows were nice, not overstuffed.

Centrally located and great service and good at Whiskers

We've stayed here before, and the location is convenient. As a Penn State alumnus, I've always felt a sense of nostalgia around the old inn. For our second visit, my daughter had an early morning audition at the college, we were required to pay in full at the time of reservation. Several days before we were scheduled to stay, we found that the audition was no longer necessary. I called right away to cancel, but the management refused to refund our money. Very inconsiderate of alumni and inflexible to the changing needs of perspective students. A posh facade with a cheap, "customer is wrong" attitude.

Great environment. Great staff. Was there for a conference, felt comfortable and at home

Hotel clean. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Great location.

The food at the Nittany Lion Inn is on par with the food of other upscale eateries in State College. It is a great place to hold networking sessions or other events.

Rooms are clean. Bed is comfortable. Staff at the desk are friendly and helpful.

Invited speaker event held in the assembly room was great. Helpful and respectful staff.

Big room no one crowded over you. Buffet was excellent with choices between brunch and breakfast with desert. And for only 20 dollars a person good deal.

Relatively quiet bar if you need to meet people for drinks

ALL of the NLI staff are professional. Always attentive and friendly. Rooms are very clean and we'll maintained.

While the rooms were clean, they are a bit outdated for the price. The location on campus is excellent, but it is a bummer there is no continental breakfast.

The food and environment were amazing. The only issue I had with the event was the service took rather long.

We had a a catered dinner for a grad school recruitment event. The food was great and the venue was beautiful.

Great place to hold any event! Staff is so nice and professional and the meeting rooms are gorgeous.

Food was decent and staff were on top of it. Some items were better than others, but nothing will blow you away. I ate brunch buffet as someone's guest, so I don't know the value for the price. Overall good experience.

Great service, room service never disappoints, clean room, steps from campus.

It's right on campus. Perfect place for walking downtown. Not far at all! The rooms were amazing. Such comfort and so clean as well! The staff was absolutely wonderful. The set up crew for my event was terrific. Those guys sure work hard!

Went there for a professional lunch event. Well organized and a variety of delicious food.

Super busy for Easter brunch, but the food was great!

Beautiful place with great service and prime location. Walking distance to downtown. Wedding reception food was amazing.

We attended the mother's day brunch and it was a very nice experience. There were a number of delicious food options and it was very family friendly. We will certainly be coming back again next year!

Older but charming hotel. Amenities are wonderful, with the valet and restaurant options.

Was here for poster presentation and was served food that was spectacular

It's always wonderful to be here. The setting, service and comfort is greatness!

Very nice hotel to go to.

Very clean, nice and helpful employees. The room I was in was very spacious, comforting, and came with a lot more than I expected.

Bathroom was a good size with lots of room to move.

Cons:

* Shower faucet was not my liking and not convenient

* Placement of AC was a big no for me personally

* Lamp lights were fine, but would have preferred other sources of light

Whiskers is on the pricey side but the environment is great and the service even better. The waitresses are always checking up and making sure you're getting what you want.

Wonderful historic location. I wished the lunch buffet would have had a bit more choice.

It was very spacious and there were plenty of hosts to answer and questions or give directions.

The Nittany Lion Inn is a fine place for meetings and conferences.
