Blue and White Forever
Had a great local vacation to stay away from the kids for a night! We had not been here in years with the remodel, and it was really impressive. Had a great stay, loved the room, service and all the changes to the Nittany Lion Inn, I would highly recommend staying here in the heart of Penn State Country!!!
