Hyatt Place State College Reviews
FEE to park
Location was very good. Hotel was clean and comfortable. My only negative comment is be prepared to pay a fee to park your car on the premises while you are staying there. This includes days/weekends when there is no home football game.
Everything I Needed
The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The hotel is in a great location with easy access to campus and restaurants. The breakfast was amazing and probably the biggest surprise. There were such an incredible variety of food and the quality was highe
Disappointing Stay – Poor Service and Misleading Amenities
I stayed at Hyatt Place State College in September 2025, and unfortunately the experience fell far short of Hyatt standards. First, the laundry service listed on the Hyatt website and even advertised in my room (complete with a laundry bag and price
Great location in State College
Stayed here for the first time over a football weekend. The positives are that it is the most convenient downtown location of any hotel in State College. Very central to campus and restaurants/bars. While still relatively new (built in 2017), the
Great location downtown
Great location and very personable staff. Convenient to downtown bars and restaurants only 1 block off campus and pretty central.
Chris was great
The hotel was crazy busy because of move in week but there was only one guy working when we realized the AC in our room wasn’t working. Chris came up to see if he could get it working but it needed a technician. Chris tried calling but it was going
Always a great experience
I love Hyatt Place - they are my first choice when booking hotels. We have stayed at several locations - this one was perfect for attending Penn State graduation.
I had an excellent time staying at the Hyatt downtown.
My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hyatt to celebrate my birthday. We had dinner at the Tavern. We walked to the post office, and Starbucks the next morning, we visited the Earth and Mineral classroom at PSU, we shopped at the Student Run Book Store,
Good place to stay for a college visit
This is a very nice hotel located over a Target store in downtown State College. It was very easy to get back and forth to Penn State's campus. The room included 2 queens and a couch so it was very spacious. It also included a mini fridge which
Disappointed overall-expected better
No housekeeping for 5 days!! Even after I called day 3 for fresh towels. Bathroom door handle was broken and shower door kept sliding open.
Late check in
Room was not ready as promised at check in time. Approximately 1hr late check in which impacted our plans that day. As we travelled in from out of town & could not check in on time.
Not the typical Hyatt experience
I have stayed at various types of Hyatt in the past and have always been satisfied. This experience was definitely below average. The staff made numerous errors. I.e. ran out of food and dishes during breakfast, gave me a parking pass that did not wo

I've been staying at Hyatt Place in State College for many years now, and in recent years I've noticed a major decrease in the upkeep of the property and they've been charging no-shows to guests that actually stayed and then not refund

The hotel is conveniently located near campus and is right next to a target. Parking is right across the street and easy to access. The rooms are spacious but the hot water takes forever to heat up and the water pressure is very very low. We'd s

I would stay away from all Hyatt Hotels! If you get hurt in the hotel they will brush it under the rug and they do not care about the guests of the hotel. You are luck they even have managers onsite, in my case no manager on duty when I fell. This ho

Exceptional, service was impeccable not to mention the quality and cleanliness of the room. Outstanding breakfast too.

We plan on making this our new hotel spot when visiting State College mostly due to its location and ease of parking. Stayed over this past New Year's Eve and were pleasantly surprised with free garage parking thanks to Downtown State College an
The location is great, so it gets one star.
Aside from that, not so great. Our room smelled like cigarette smoke (then we and our clothes stunk too) and the view out the window was a bunch of equipment/roof. There were hairs in one bed and the shower was dingy. Location is superb. Parking is

Tried Hyatt State College first time, and hotel is real clean, modern and seems new? Small bar to hit for happy hour and the service was spectacular, thank you staff The 2 queen beds was very comfortable and bathrooms clean. The location is perfect

I went to the Hyatt's bar on the second floor and ordered a water. It was great! It was the perfect cold temperature with ice AND it even had a slice of lemon in it. Delicious!

Have stayed at this hotel previously with minimal issues, but this stay was bad. Only one of three elevators would reach our floor (hotel staff knew of issue, but did not have service come to resolve). Hotel experienced a water pipe break prior to

Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Hyatt Place State College at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Hyatt Place State College page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* 🦩 @FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* 🦩 @FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to 🦩 @FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as 🦩 @FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* 🦩 @FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Hyatt Place State College to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If 🦩 @FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, 🦩 @FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to 🦩 @FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Hyatt Place State College!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
