In addition, the Inn serves a sumptuous Sunday Brunch as well as, a popular Friday evening Seafood Brunch.

The Penn Stater

The Penn Stater is the area's largest hotel and offers guests plenty of space away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. The expansive views of Centre County's beautiful, landmark mountains, remind visitors why we all love Happy Valley!

The indoor pool and fitness center are an extra special bonus for guest families and working professionals, alike. Each room has a mini refrigerator, complimentary high speed Internet connection and multiple phone lines.

The Gardens Restaurant offers sophisticated dining, and classic cuisine with an American flair. This restaurant also offers guests a sumptuous Sunday Brunch and the expansive America's Bounty Buffets on both Friday and Saturday evenings.

Legends is the more casual dining choice at the Penn Stater. Its full bar and affordable menu makes it a comfortable choice for lunch, dinner or late night. The 50" flat screen TV makes it the perfect place to catch your favorite teams in action! A pool table with free, unlimited use also makes it a great place to meet friends and share time amid the Penn State storied décor.
