The price was unbeatable.. the bottleshop/ office was a nice touch.. its modesty accommodations but clean and comfortable for motel standard.. the thing that set this apart from any other motel ive stayed as was the breakfast " in bed" delivered to your room via a little cubby in the wall... most times I dont utilize the breakfast because it ends just as I am packing and getting ready this was amazing to hear a little knock and get a small starter breakfast without having to leave my room.. would stay again for sure!

“I recommend it”
I was looking for a place to stay for a night. This was the cheapest I could find and it was NOT bad at all. Super clean, quiet, comfortable. Breakfast is delivered to you in a box that connects to your room, you don't have to wait up for it. I would definitely stay at Nittany Motel again. Very friendly staff, 8 min from Penn State University, 3 min from Haymarket, Park 10 from Walmart, restaurants and other places... I give them 10/10

“This is a kitchy place, off the beaten track, but offers inexpensive comfort and privacy.”
Breakfast was delivered each morning to our room-basic juice and muffin/bagel. We called in our order and gave a delivery time--they put it in a cubicle in the wall! Housekeeping staff was efficient!

“Reasonably good”
The area s very expensive, but this accommodation was reasonably priced. A smooth check in. Breakfast in the morning at the tame we selected (there is a small delivery window in each room). Plenty of parking.

Coffee, muffin, danish, and orange juice were fine. Nice that you can tell them what time you want breakfast and they just leave it.

“This place was a disappointment in many ways.”
The room was clean and the size was adequate. Car parking was right outside the door to the room.
