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.

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.

Superb

Liked: The room was very spacious for a family of two with two queen beds. The bathroom had nice amenities, and the front desk easily made up for any that were missing. The breakfast was delicious and hot.
Disliked: One of the trash cans in the room was not emptied when I arrived. It was still filled with the prior morning's leftover breakfast. I assume that this was a slight mistake by housekeeping, but otherwise, there were no serious issues.

A nice quiet hotel stay

Liked: The front desk staff were very nice and helpful. They made checking in and out an easy process. Our room had everything we needed.
Disliked: The breakfast was not quite enough for our needs. The toaster barely worked and we were only able to get one pancake since the machine ran out of batter. There was one staff person bringing more food around 9 am and she seemed a little overwhelmed. We couldn't stay longer for more food because we had tickets for an event.

Quite nice for an overnight...

Liked: Facilities and room were clean, looked new and beds were comfortable. Quite nice accommodations, not fancy but nice
Disliked: Breakfast was very industrial and artificial. I would go out for breakfast if I stayed there again. I often wonder why these motels even try to serve breakfast. I suppose some people like it but I would prefer if there were an actual restaurant on the premises. I’d rather pay for real, freshly prepared food.

It was relaxing and just...

Liked: Staff was friendly and helpful. I was having trouble with my key card and a maintenance person happened by and offered his help. It ended up that I had the card in the same pocket as my phone and I had received texts and apparently that wiped the card. He went downstairs, got me a new card, and made sure it worked before he left. That kind of service is not common in today's world.
Disliked: Can't think of anything.
