Nittany Lion Inn

[Alphalion75]

Fyi....if you wish to stay at the inn on Ohio State football weekend it will run you a mere $1,200 per night.

Anxious to see the revamped NLI from the pictures that I seen the new owners have done one helluva job.

A couple of other hotels are charging up to $ 1399.99 From what I am told by an acquaintance who is coming to town for the Alumni Council meetings.

And they want the fans to pony up from NIL. Crazy.

Who are these people? Seriously, $1400 a night?

It will be free in my recliner in my sunroom!

And for 3* hotel quality (at best) in the middle of nowhere PA. The hotel gouging in State College is a joke.

Wanna bet that it’s sold out? You cannot underestimate demand for rooms as people want to make the weekend about more than just the football game. And, the pent up desire to once again stay at “the campus” hotel is off the charts.

No it's not. It's supply and demand - that's the way things work in a capitalistic society. Nobody's requiring you to pay those rates.

 

[RockyMtnLion]

And if those rates are too high, occupancy drops. . . . . . strange how a free market mostly works.

It’s not your money so why do you care?

he's not wrong, though

Yeah, it sets up well for folks staying there that weekend. A noon game gives folks the opportunity to enjoy Friday night, enjoy the morning around the hotel and plenty of time to hang after as well. We have our own arrangements but if I were staying there, I would probably plan to walk to and from the hotel to the game.

My crew is renting an entire house for 3 nights $1500 total in LA for usc. My suggestion is get on the road

 

[Achowalogan]

Over 40 years ago, married at St Paul’s UM on College Ave, reception at the NLI, couldn’t afford to do that today….

 

[Niassne]

anyone know if they will have a bus shuttle from the Inn to the stadium? Wondering if option for ADA folks.

 

[PSUalum2007]

$999/per night at the Penn Stater, is barely a 3-star property anymore.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Image paying 999 per and the product is blue hens. Dropping four grand in 48 hours to see … blue hens.

Just wait until they drop the 3 night minimum on guests if they haven't already....

At some point the market pushes back and I’m not sure any property can justify imposing a 3 night minimum on its customers, even for the biggest games. There is no doubt that $1200 per night is crazy, but they do research and they know that their target market is willing to pay that freight.

 

[AvgUser]

I have no idea why the price gouging law doesn’t apply.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Honestly I’m all about free market. Gov is already way too involved.

Hmmmm....I suppose I'm not one of their "target market".

 

[TiogaLion]

Well, If you're a Wyndham rewards member you can get a non-cancelable/non-refundable two night min reservation for $405 plus taxes and fees per night at the Ramada on Atherton. The place is a dump but it's the best value in State College for OSU weekend. Book direct to get this price.

Believe that PA's price gouging laws only kick in during a declared time of emergency.

 

[rudedude]

Hotel gouging for football weekends has gotten so bad that even the Super 8 in Burnham has rates that have skyrocketed, over $800 for the weekend, in Burnham no less!

 

[BobPSU92]

The right kind of people.

That could happen by halftime of the Tosu game.
