A sweet mom n’ pop property run by a lovely young family. Cheaper than anything in State College and right on the doorsteps of The Waffle Shop and a wonderful Greek restaurant, I always make this my budget friendly stay when I’m visiting my son at PSU. It’s a rare find.

The place was exactly as advertised. It’s an old-school motel, but our room was recently renovated and was quite clean and comfortable.
I would definitely recommend The Stevens!

Checking in at the hotel was seamless. The receptionist, and I believe the owner, were friendly. Penn State College is a 5-minute drive away.
The hotel is very old. The rooms are very old and poorly maintained. The bathroom is very small and unusable. There were only two towels for the three of us. The internet didn't work in the room. We changed rooms on the last day. Our new room was larger and didn't smell bad.
I think the hotel owner means well, but they need to spend some money on the hotel and make it look nicer.
