The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Great Pool Area!

I loved the indoor pool area at Days Inn! It was private and well-maintained, although I didn't get a chance to swim during my stay. However, I appreciated having this amenity available, especially for those who enjoy fitness and leisure activities.

Great On-Site Dining!

The Mad Mex restaurant located in the hotel lobby is fantastic! It's convenient to have such delicious dining options just an elevator ride away. I enjoyed the food and the atmosphere was so inviting, making it a perfect ending to my day.

Comfortable Room!

The room I stayed in was spacious and included a fridge, which was a huge plus for keeping my drinks cold. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and I loved how quiet it was—I didn’t hear any noise from other rooms.

I recently stayed at this hotel while helping my daughter move back to PSU, and I found it to be a solid choice. The location is convenient, close to shopping and great restaurants, and the room was spacious and clean, though the bathroom layout was a bit odd. While I appreciated the clean and comfortable environment, the absence of maid service during my stay and the Wi-Fi issues were disappointing.

I had a great overnight stay at this hotel, with nicely remodeled rooms and friendly staff who really went out of their way to help. The breakfast options were plentiful, and it was nice to have fresh coffee available all day. However, I did have some issues with cleanliness in one of the beds during a prior visit, which was quite disappointing. Overall, I would consider returning due to the comfort and location, but cleanliness needs to improve.

This hotel is truly the best option in the area for the price you pay. Everything, from the service during check-in to the time we left, was exceptional. It's conveniently located near restaurants and the Penn State campus. The rooms are impeccably clean, and the breakfast was plentiful. However, it’s worth noting that it can get busy, so booking in advance is essential.

I had a nice stay at this hotel during my drive from NC. The clean and spacious room offered a comfy king bed, while the staff, especially Nelly at the front desk, proved to be incredibly helpful. However, there were some Wi-Fi issues, and I missed not having microwave access in the room. Overall, it was a great experience, and I'd happily return.

I had an exceptional stay at this hotel, which offers great value at a price that won't break the bank. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, with friendly staff who went out of their way to assist me. The breakfast was decent, but don't expect a gourmet spread. The location is fantastic, being very close to the Penn State campus, making it a perfect spot for anyone visiting the area, including during game days, although be cautious with rideshares. Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel for its affordability and quality service.
