Karthaus Vacations from $573

This was an interesting stay to say the least. The property appears to be an old motel from the sixties (or earlier?) across from a truck stop in Milesburg PA. The staff were polite and the property is generally clean but only partially renovated - new hallway carpets, new floors and furniture in the rooms, very average bathrooms, but with original doors (looks like) with new locks, old windows and popcorn ceiling. The amenities were also average with cold breakfast sandwiches to warm up in the microwave. Also annoyed at Penn State - for a world class institution with a massive alumni base which likes to visit campus - the amenities/hotel infrastructure in State College is abysmal. One literally has to book rooms for graduation a year in advance or pay through one’s nose for very average hotel rooms. Why can’t Penn State motivate the city to build more decent and reasonablly priced hotels in State College? Thankfully, we don’t plan to visit again now that our daughter has graduated.

It was nice staying in a new, modern hotel. It was hip, bright and well designed. Breakfast selections were above average and the staff was very attentive. The area was well over due for a hotel this size and was perfectly located for our equestrian event we attended.

I’ll try somewhere else next time.

Breakfast bar can use a few more items like pancakes and French toast. Walls are thin so you hear kids running up and down the hallway. Plus the kids upstairs jumping was loud and annoying

The breakfast was delicious, the staff was very friendly and made you feel at home, they gave excellent suggestions of places in the area. The room was exceptionally clean and really interesting, loved the antiques and charm!
