No coffee maker BUT they deliver breakfast to your room, anytime you like. It is free and limited, but very nice. Internet works well. Near a good... More

This place has a beer store in the office and there is a constant flow of customers. If you want a quiet room, it is best to ask for one at the rear side of the motel. A room with two double beds is in the $60+ dollar range. The room condition was a little more run-down than I expected... More

This past weekend was my second time staying at the Nittany Budget Motel. While it is of course not the fanciest place to stay in State College, it is a great value!!!

Clean, spacious, well-equipped at a very reasonable price. If you're a non-smoker, make sure to specify a no-smoking room. The others are like walking into an ash tray. Staff is great and there is a terrific restaurant across the parking lot.

I have stayed here several times on business and have been pleased in the past. The internet speeds are very good - and anyone who travels for business will appreciate that.

Thank you for your kind words and for your constructive feedback. As a non-smoker, I certainly understand your suggestion. We have a total of 23 rooms, with 19 designated non-smoking and 4 designated smoking permitted. Having rooms designated for each preference has proven useful in maintaining our non-smoking rooms by alleviating the temptation to smoke in those designated non-smoking. Thank... More

Simple clean and great for the budget especially when visiting your child in PSU. Bring your own hair dryer and toiletries , they only supply bar soap. Workers are always friendly and it was very quiet the two times I stayed.
