It was not a big deal to me, but note that there is a small temporary parking area (3 spots) next to the hotel for unloading and checking in to your room. After that you need to move your car to the Pugh Street garage around the corner. Parking is $15/day.

I just completed a stay at the Tapestry Scholar State College staying the night of Saturday February 17, 2024. Although the hotel was very nice and in a good  location, I cannot recommend staying there.   Besides the  location, the main reason that I picked this hotel was due to the fact that there were supposed to be soundproof rooms according to the Expedia website.  We stayed in Room 308.  The plan was to have my oldest daughter who was working at THON to stay with us/sleep Saturday night until her next shift started at 2 AM. However there was a significant amount of noise from 1030-1145pm (loud guests), which at first I believed to be in the hallway, but discovered was coming into our room via the connecting inner door. It pretty much sounded like the people in the next room were  actually in our room it was so loud.   As such my daughter did not get a good chance to rest and subsequently we are quite disappointed given that I paid $347 to stay there for the night.

The size of the room, the amenities, and the comfortable bed were fabulous. The kitchenette was a huge bonus! Everything we needed for a good stay was in our room. The staff were all kind and accommodating. The location was beyond convenient. You could walk to so many restaurants, bars, shopping, and even Penn State. The only (minor) negatives were the lack of TV channels since the only live TV was through Netflix and the strong fried food smell from the restaurant. Regardless, our time at Scholar State College was superb!

When they say no refunds, they mean it...
Unfortunately I can't tell you anything about the hotel, as covid hit our family and despite several days notice, they would not see if anyone else would pay the same rate for the room on a Penn State football weekend when every hotel is sold out and instead, chose to stick us with a $2000 bill when we could not come. Had they at least tried to rebook the room, I would feel differently.
