“Nice stay!!”

Nice stay on a short trip to State College. Good location and quality breakfast.

“Great place”

I gave the "Condition and upkeep of the hotel" a 4 because all of the vending machines on odd numbered floors that I checked were completely out of bottled water, leaving the much more expensive bottles supplied in the room the only option in the hotel. I didn't appreciate being subjected to $4/bottle in the room vs $1.50/bottle in the machines as my only option. Aside from that, everything else is always fine. Excellent rate for a pleasant stay.

“Happy in Happy Valley!”

Really enjoyed my stay at the Atherton Hotel. Very clean room. The only downside I can note is that the bedding is a bit outdated. I would update the linens and possibly even the mattresses. This is a wonderful option for your visit to State College. I hope to stay here again soon!

“am very satisfied with the hotel”

Good location, classy decoration, comfortable and clean room, kind front desk service, nice classical music played in the lobby and the restaurant area all the time. I like the hotel. Additionally it is reasonably priced.

“Lovely hotel.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Atherton Hotel. The room was bigger than the average hotel room, and the beds were comfortable, although queen beds (instead of double) would have been better. The lobby was decorated beautifully for the holidays.We would definitely stay here again!

“State College Atherton Hotel Value”

Our most recent stay at the Atherton was Christmas Eve 2012. The stay was the usual level of comfort. The rooms are clean and the staff professional. Unfortunately, the restaurant and lounge were closed when we arrived during the early evening, which is understandable with the holiday. They also remained closed through the AM of Christmas Day. However, there were enough other options in State College that this was not a problem. We have stayed at this hotel on multiple occasions. It is a great value when you can get a deep discount rate. It is comfortable and well situated relative to the campus. There are a lot of good restaurants and shops within walking distance. It is essentially across the street from the campus. Definitely recommended.

“Great hotel within walking distance to State College's bars/restaurants.”

Great hotel on the edge of downtown State College with great service. Location is good, just a few minutes walk to the downtown bars/restaurants. The hotel is in great condition: clean and well maintained, but it's starting to show its age in some areas. The mattresses could use replacement and the TVs are very outdated, at least compared to those at the major chains. Still, given the small amount of competition in downtown State College, the Atherton is a winner. Watch out for the main bartender, who has been around for years, she can have a bit of a rough edge (putting it nicely) and I often wonder how she keeps her job. Oh, and thumbs up for vending machines...not only are they inexpensive, but the prices beat most convenience stores!

“Good place downtown”

The staff did a great job, even though they had 2 weddings and the place was full. Parking was a little tight.
