Pros

Complimentary on-site parking accommodates all vehicle sizes, including U-Hauls and trailers

Property offers digital check-in and mobile key access

Accessibility features include roll-in showers and hearing-accessible rooms

Golf courses and hiking/biking trails available in the vicinity

Cons

9.5 miles distance from University Park Airport

No on-site restaurant for lunch or dinner service

“Residence Inn's proximity to Penn State is a definite advantage; campus access is a breeze. I appreciate the all-suite setup with full kitchens for longer stays. A heated indoor pool and the free breakfast add value, but the real draw is feeling settled in while still being close to everything.”
