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.

Who this Hotel is great for

- 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.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

Monica Sat, 24 May 2025

Stay was ok, not work...

Liked: It was close to my event, clean, good breakfast and quiet at night.
Disliked: This is the second time I’m writing this because when I clicked the contact management after my stay and no one replied to me…I am writing to request a partial refund for my most recent stay on 04/26/25 - 04/27/25. I booked this on 03/29/25 and for a one night stay it was $392.00, however, the rate the day I arrived was just over $100. Why should I be penalized for booking early, while others receive a discounted rate? If anything, I should receive that rate. By the time I realized this I was unable to cancel without being charged full price. This is my first experience with your hotel and I’m highly dissatisfied. While the hotel was nice, it was not worth $392.00. I’m asking you make this situation right and I’m not asking for a full refund, just partial. I look forward to hearing back with notification of a refund. Thank you for taking time on the request.

We will stay here again...

Liked: Nice breakfast food was warm, many varieties to choose from. Loved the coffee machine. Our refrigerator was not working. I informed the front desk. Almost immediately a maintenance man came to the door. Nice young man, checked it out and replaced it within 5 minutes. Excellent service
Disliked: Everything was great
