Summary: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an absolutely wonderful stay at The Nittany Lion Inn while in State College for Penn State’s summer semester graduation. Staying here made an already special weekend feel even more memorable. The Inn is beautiful and does an amazing job of blending its historic Penn State charm with a modern, elegant atmosphere. Everything felt warm, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed. My room was extremely clean, comfortable, and relaxing, which was exactly what I needed during such a busy and exciting graduation weekend. The staff was exceptional from start to finish. Everyone I encountered was friendly, professional, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The location is also perfect for anyone visiting Penn State, especially for graduation, since you are so close to campus and right in the heart of the Penn State experience. Graduating from Penn State was a major milestone for me, and staying at The Nittany Lion Inn was the perfect way to celebrate the occasion. There is something special about being surrounded by so much Penn State history and tradition during such an important moment. I would highly recommend The Nittany Lion Inn to anyone visiting State College, whether for graduation, a football weekend, a campus event, or simply a getaway. I truly enjoyed my stay and would absolutely choose the Inn again the next time I’m in State College. We Are!
