What guests think

Across many reviews, Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott State College earns praise for friendly, helpful staff, clean and comfortable rooms, a satisfying complimentary breakfast, and a convenient location near Penn State with restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.

Guests appreciate the indoor pool and a decent gym, though the fitness room’s A/C and the pool area noise can be issues when busy. Common downsides include occasionally loud in-room air conditioners, some reports of room odors or minor maintenance misses, and mixed opinions on bed firmness and TV or channel options. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-run stay with strong service and easy access to Penn State and nearby dining.

I don’t think it gets much better when it comes to Fairfield like hotels. Extremely friendly staff. Good gym (A/C was very weak though). Good breakfast. Great area around the hotel with shops (very walkable). I’d not hesitate to go there again.

I wish we could have stayed longer! We were only there for 1 night. But the employees were very nice and helpful from check in to check out. The room was very comfortable from the shower to the bed! The hotel was so clean i thought it was new! .. It wasn’t! The continental breakfast is really good! And not just muffins and coffee!The pool is small but really nice! We had to go get my daughter at a competition after we checked out but they said we could come back so she could swim a little if we wanted. We did!! Over all it was a very nice time! We’ll be back!

My family stayed at this hotel once before but we never utilized the amenities it had to offer such as a pool and breakfast. This time we did and the pool was nice and clean with a perfect water temperature also. Breakfast was nice with a variety of choices also. The hotel staff were all very nice and the hotel was very clean. However for us The beds were not comfortable and I would definitely bring our own pillows if we came back. One other thing was the shower trying to get an ideal temperature took awhile it was either to hot or to cold.I even had to stop the water in the middle of my shower and try to get a warm temp again. We wasted water trying to get a warm shower and not a hot or cold shower.

We visited for a college tour for our daughter. The air conditioning was loud for the entire 2 nights we stayed. We didnt get much rest due to that. My daughter found trash on the side of her bed. We had to deal with unsupervised inconsiderate children in the pool. The young lady at the desk informed me she spoke with a parent of children. The breakfast was not the best but they had options. Overall we enjoyed the college tour more than. The stay at the hotel. The 3 ladies on duty at the front desk that we encountered were very nice & friendly.

We stayed here with our hockey team for the weekend. It was nice. The pool area needs better sound control, it is hard to even be in there when there are a ton of people there. The water wasn't hot in the rooms and the lack of lotions and the usual hotel items you get for the bathroom was a bummer. Beds were not comfortable to me, but my family didn't mind them. The cards to the rooms are really finicky, so don't let them touch literally anything that can deactivate them. The breakfast, lounge area, staff and basically everything else was great. It is close to Penn State, to a ton of shopping and places to eat, as well as a few places right on the other side of the parking lot. 12pm checkout was great. We would stay again!

The room we stayed in had a strong musty smell. I thought it was coming from the pillowcases- they smelled like it was left undried for sometime. I notified the staff and they brought us new pillows. However, the room smelled musty during the second night. Maybe it's in the carpet??? Before I left, I told the lady at the front desk. She said that she will let someone know.

Room was clean, quiet, and had a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker which are always nice to have. The hotel staff was super friendly. Breakfast was actually quite good. The muffins were excellent, and they had lots of high-quality food options. Coffee was also good, and they offered oat milk as a non-dairy creamer option. I would stay again.

I LOVED LOVED staying here! The customer service from housekeeping to breakfast attendants were amazing every time I have stayed here. I will miss it dearly with school being over! Hope to stay here again once schools starts up again! The only ask I have is additional channels on the TV. The channels are American English only and do not include Spanish channels such as Telemundo or Univision. I feel like with a multi cultural school near by the town should also update in that way.
