The Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center
I’m a bit of a germaphobe and it’s hard to find a place where I don’t get the “ick” feeling. This place definitely is very clean and made me feel comfortable. I traveled alone as a female with my teenage daughter which can be scary but I felt completely safe here. Would definitely stay here ...
