The Spotlight on Holiday Inn Express State College at Williamsburg Square By IHG

Comfortable Stay Just Minutes from Penn State and Live Music

Modern, practical, and perfectly located, the Holiday Inn Express State College At Williamsburg Square is a convenient home base for concert-goers. Tucked just off the Mt. Nittany Expressway and only a short drive from downtown State College and Pennsylvania State University, this hotel offers a quiet, clean stay with all the essentials.

Why Concert-goers love it

You're just a 5-minute drive from Penn State's main campus, where many major concerts and events take place. Despite the close proximity, the location is peaceful and away from heavy traffic or noise, making it easy to relax after a high-energy night. Free Wi-Fi keeps you connected, and the late check-out at 11:00 AM gives you just enough time to recover the next morning. Plus, easy highway access makes getting a ride share or driving back late a breeze.

- Groups of friends needing affordable rooms near the action
- Solo travelers catching a bucket-list performer
- Couples making a weekend trip to State College
- Fans seeking a quiet place to crash post-show
- Budget-conscious music lovers looking for value and comfort

Food and Drink Options

The hotel provides a free hot breakfast every morning, with eggs, pastries, and coffee—perfect for a late start after a long night. While there’s no on-site restaurant, you’re within walking distance of several casual dining spots in Williamsburg Square. Plus, in-room coffee makers mean you can fuel up anytime.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is quiet and doesn’t have a bar, you’re just minutes from downtown State College, where you’ll find bars, lounges, and local beer spots. Whether you're planning pre-show drinks or a post-show nightcap, the area has plenty of options.

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean rooms, and the convenient location for Penn State events. Many mention that it’s a reliable and quiet spot to rest after high-energy concert nights. The free breakfast and easy parking also get frequent praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests noted that the hotel is a bit basic in terms of style, and the fitness center is on the smaller side. While it’s not a luxury stay, it delivers well on comfort and convenience.

Disappointed with our second visit...

Liked: Location and breakfast was great.
Disliked: The room had a terrible smell... like spoiled milk. We went to the front desk requesting a new room but none was available. The front desk provided an air freshener, and we sprayed it all afternoon and night but the smell would return. The smell made one family member nauseous. This was our second visit to this location, but will not return again.

We enjoyed the stay and...

Liked: The hotel was clean. The soap/lotion/shampok in the bathroom was all Dove brand.
Disliked: The air conditioning in the room was set to 64 degrees when we arrived and it was freezing. Took a while to get to a normal temperature
