I stayed at The Atherton for five nights while attending a conference at Penn State. I'd be very happy to do the same again if/when I go there again. The hotel has a certain "quaint" feeling. I don't know how old it really is - surely not many decades - but the style and feel of the elevators prompted one... More

This hotel gets a lot of use and it's in good condition. It's well maintained and the staff is friendly and professional. We asked for a refrigerator and were easily accommodated with a large, clean and quiet unit that fit nicely in the corner. The rooms are large and come with a Kurig. The decor is dated and a bit...

Like a lot of Alumni I love coming back to PSU. This hotel is the best place to stay. It's clean, convenient, and lovely. Perfect for a girls weekend. I always try to get a room here because its my favorite hotel!

She would not give me any additional information, ie, price. She told me I better hurry, as forms were coming in... More

Atherton has always been a beauty in a fantastic location. Lovely music piped into the lobby, has an upscale old world charm about it. No real complaints, the room was clean and attended to, bathroom was spotless. The only dings would be that it is not a 2013 updated place. The rooms have two full sized beds (remember them?) with...
