With a 24-hour front desk, late check-out at 12:00 PM, and easy parking, it’s perfect for those late-night returns.

Who this Hotel is great for

• Groups of friends – Plenty of space and lounge areas to hang out post-show.
• Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist – Safe, quiet, and comfortable with friendly staff.
• Couples making a weekend of it – Enjoy a relaxing suite plus local attractions.
• Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space – Calm setting away from downtown noise.
• Budget-conscious music fans – Free breakfast and parking help stretch your concert budget.

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant for late-night bites, the hotel is close to several casual dining spots and fast food options along Waddle Road. A hearty hot breakfast buffet is served daily—perfect after a long night out. Each suite includes a fridge and microwave, great for midnight snacks or leftovers. Complimentary coffee is available in the lobby.

Nightlife Options

You won’t find a club scene inside the hotel, but you’re a quick drive from downtown State College’s lively lineup of bars, pubs, and lounges. Want something low-key? The hotel’s shared lounge and outdoor terrace are great for a quiet drink before or after your show.

What People Say

Reviews highlight the friendly staff, super clean rooms, and spacious suite layouts. Guests love the convenience to Penn State events and say the hotel is “quiet but close to everything.” Many mention the comfortable beds and strong water pressure—small details that make a big difference after a night of dancing.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests wished for more dining options on-site or within walking distance, especially late at night. While the hotel is near key venues, it's not in the heart of downtown—something to keep in mind if you’re planning to bar-hop on foot.

The Bottom Line

SpringHill Suites by Marriott State College is a smart, stress-free home base for concert-goers looking for comfort, convenience, and a quiet night's sleep after the show.
