What guests think

At Ramada by Wyndham State College Hotel & Conference Center, reviews highlight a convenient location and budget‑friendly rates, but frequent comments about dated facilities, inconsistent cleanliness, and maintenance issues shape expectations more than occasional praise for staff, pools, and breakfast.

Guests value proximity to Penn State, easy parking, and at times clean, comfortable rooms, as well as the on‑site bar and restaurant. Common complaints cite dirty or poorly maintained rooms and bathrooms, dated décor, small bathrooms, HVAC and door issues, noise from the atrium or exterior corridors, and pool or hot tub closures during renovations. Overall, expect an older, budget‑minded stay where convenience competes with inconsistent upkeep and maintenance.

This is an average hotel in State College. Perks are it’s usually a bit cheaper than others and it’s only about a mile from campus. You can walk there if you’re up for it and the cut through neighborhood is safe. There are stores nearby and the area seems busy and well lit. Also, there is breakfast included and a decent bar/grill attached. It is one of the only ones nearby that has an indoor and outdoor pool. Also, it’s pretty big. There are a LOT of rooms. Cons are it’s pretty old and a bit run down and the majority of the rooms are “motel” style. The indoor pool has interior rooms facing it but the carpet was wet in front of the rooms and the chlorine smell was strong. The exercise room is abysmal. No weights or anything. Elevator seemed very old. Overall, if it’s a busy weekend and nicer hotels are scarce or too pricy, this will be fine. It’s just an average spot in a college town.

Drunk people in the hallways, man in the parking lot asking people for spare change. The rooms are okay, definitely outdated. The pool was nice but strong chlorine smell and left some of the kids with a rash on their bodies. Breakfast was pretty good. Room was pretty clean. The exterior doors do not lock which means anyone off the street can come and go anytime!! We won’t stay here again.

Enjoyed the stay although there were many people there and people would sit in the halls at 2 am talking on the phone disrupting sleep. One friend had kids knocking on their doors and running away late at night. The exercise. room was so small only two people could use it at a tie.

This property if very dated. The AC pumped out hot air. The repair was quick but then VERY loud in the room and bathroom for the entire night. The cost of this room should of been under $100 instead it was over $200! Did feel clean, Gym for a huge motel was awful. Please update and it could be wonderful.

This is an older property, which would be just fine if they kept it up. Front desk staff seemed to spend most of their time in the office, unable to see when guests came to the desk for help. Upon getting to our room, we immediately noticed the toilet had major build up inside the bowl - despite 2 separate requests during our week long stay, it was never cleaned. There were also dirty areas in most corners of our room, showing that it hadn't been thoroughly cleaned in a long time. The hot tub was nice on the one evening that it actually worked, but the jets wouldn't come on the rest of our stay. If you stay here on a weekend, be aware that there will likely be parties renting the pool and atrium area, so it will be very loud, especially since noise echoes throughout the main building. Also, the restaurant is closed 2 nights a week. All that being said, it wasn't a horrible stay. There were some helpful and friendly staff. The bed was comfortable and it was nice to have a desk & chair in the room. As our stay went on, we were able to laugh as each new quirky thing came along by pretending we were in a sitcom and these were just plot twists thrown into the script. Next time we go to State College, I will definitely be looking for somewhere else to stay.

Loved the pool, liked the Lobby. The rest of our stay consisted of: In order: smoke alarm sounding on arrival, no soap, but 3 conditioners. Countertops e Were unwiped and dirty, trash strewn in drawer atop the Bible, boogies on the wall, gum stuck to the headboard, a TV, but a channel list from several years ago. The floor was sticky like a movie theatre. The patio was crumbling and needed to be recoated about 5 years ago. Cob webs connecting the wall lamps, with a spider perched behind them on the wall. One daddy long legger.The refrigerator had 2 inches of ice in it. The mirrors were absolutely filthy. We told the desk we would be notified but no body ever showed. I cannot prove it but I dont think this room had been cleaned in weeks or more, then when i found my wallet in the toilet paper holder I had to vent. I think there were people in this room. Thats how bad it was. Our expectations were not that high but you guys managed to not even come close. Gotta do better. They knocked off $138.00 but that was not a going away present that would make me ever consider your Motel again. Making my next Penn State visit im gonna have to bypass the Ramada. I honestly think that room 269 is being used by some non paying people and some of the shady staff may know about it. Ridiculous

Our room was absolutely filthy. Toilet had sh@t stuck on it, shower floor was filthy and cobwebs and dust under a chair that has never been cleaned under. Stains on the sheets. In addition, the resort is a motel. We had to walk outside a couple hundred yards to get to the lobby. Two guys cutting an exhaust system off an abandoned truck right outside our room at 8 am. Trash dumpster was dropped outside our room at 7 am. Paper thin walls so you can here everything being said in the adjoining room. Mgmt was understanding and issued a refund and we left. You are out of your mind if you stay at this dump

Not very clean at all. The floor was dirty already upon arrival, and the vents in my room were dusty and dirty. The sheets and comforters had stains, and the remote and door knobs were not cleaned. Bundles up dirty washcloths behind the door in the bathroom, and a used washcloth from the previous person still was hanging up on the shower curtain rod. The tub with filthy and underneath of the bed was disgusting. Part of the ceiling were falling apart. The AC blew hot and the ice machine didn’t work. $40 deposit when you check in that was not mentioned ahead of time. Wasn’t asked how the stay was, likely because they know it’s filthy.

Badly in need of an update. Room with large window facing hallway?? Impossible to block out the light and the noise.

All of the above combined to make for a very uncomfortable night. 😢

Room was clean. Thermostat didn’t appear to work; when we increased the temp the room got colder. There was a domestic altercation in the middle of the night with a man out in the hallway yelling profanity at his significant other which was disturbing. The room itself was fine, but didn’t have an exterior window which I discovered is hard for me. Wouldn’t stay in that type of room again. Also, there are several exterior glass doors from the parking lot into the building that don’t lock, some of which don’t even latch. It’s the least secure hotel I’ve ever stayed at.

Stayed here many times and the hotel is what it is. It's an okay hotel and a convenient, less expensive place to stay. It is not a luxury hotel, it's old and outdated in many ways, but fine. I do appreciate that they got rid of the old carpeting in the rooms (at least our room) and replaced with vinyl flooring. But the TVs are still small and standard definition; they really should offer HD by now. Staff is always nice and friendly, the rooms are clean, but the pillows are small and not very comfortable. Bring your own if you're picky about pillows. Biggest negative was the wait staff at the restaurant attached, PJ Harrigans, they had a lot to be desired. Not friendly, terrible service and they pretty much ignored us till we left and went some where else.

I have stayed here twice before this trip and I usually love it, this time we had to deal with another guest whom was having mental issues which ok is fine understandable but at first we felt scared and unsafe, the cops were called and we had to deal with it. The staff was unaccommodating, rude and didn't care at all about our experience, our safety and didn't even apologize or try to see if we were okay. Rude and paid no mind. The front desk over nights. The morning was great and I do love whom checked us out.

You get what you pay for. After one night it was worth it to me to rent a different room in town and eat the cost of my non-refundable reservation.

We were directed to nearby options but of course they were not included in our hotel fee. As there were three of us, it was a hit to our budget.
