The Nittany Lion Inn

The Nittany Lion Inn

8/10 Good
"This Inn is literally on the Penn State Campus. The parking is expensive and extra, $12 if you can figure out where to park, otherwise $25 a day plus tip. My room was on the first floor, There were quite a lot of steps to go up and down with my luggage. The cleaning staff didn’t wipe off the surfaces. The restaurants were excellent. There are 4 options."
