    #1 none of the busses I take are ever on time if I get to the bus stop 2 minutes before the pick up…read moretime they don't show up until the next pick up time and if I get to the bus stop 10 minutes early it's always 5 to 10 minutes late. #2 the cata station is by far one of the most dangerous and dirty places in town. There's always people hanging out there begging for change, jumping or robbing other people waiting for their bus and always people hanging out in the smoking area doing drugs and I don't mean smoking cigarettes or marijuana. They are actually snorting drugs or breaking out their needles, lighter, spoons and shooting up shit in their arms and crap. If I have to take my son somewhere I refuse to take the cata bus. If I take the cata bus to get to work I'm always late no matter what time I catch the bus. It is by far the worst public transit I have ever used. Not to mention while I'm on the bus it feels like I'm on a rollercoaster and almost always get a headache or motion sickness. Something have to be done about this crap. It's inconvenient, dangerous and dirty. People should feel safe when riding public transit not feel like they have to look over their shoulders every second they're on it or at the bus station. It's ridiculous

    Ahh, greyhound. I'd estimate maybe 1/3 trips has something odd, unexpected, or just plain…read moreridiculous happen (the bus gets lost! the headlights don't work and you are stuck in some podunk town waiting for a replacement!) I spent many a weekend going back and forth to visit friends and family on these buses. One winter break there was a volunteer group giving away snacks to all travelers. Once I also met a group of prisoners on their way home to Philly. The odds of something ridiculous happening are proportional to how much time you spend. A two hour trip between here and Harrisburg generally is OK, will be filled with other students (not the usual crazies that tend to ride Greyhound) and will generally be on time. Occasionally they oversell tickets so you will be forced to stand in the aisle the whole time or just have to go the next day (so if you are going home for the weekend, you are effectively screwed). The employees here were not rude, the station itself a little bare and a boring place to wait. Still it sure beats walking!!

    Greyhound Bus Lines provided terrible service through the State College bus terminal. We were…read moresupposed to depart at 11 am and we did not end up leaving until 12:15 pm. We were not communicated with about why we were delayed. When the bus driver arrived he was extremely rude to all the passengers. We did not end up arriving at our destination until an hour and a half past the expected time. We never received an apology or an explanation for anything. Very disappointed. Will not being using Greyhound again.

    As soon as you walk into the lobby…read more.. There is an EMPTY desk with a sign on it directing you to take the elevator to the second floor for your check-in. That's a very cold first impression.... You should have somebody at that desk, checking people in with a secondary location available on the second floor. For security reasons alone.... That is a big mistake. I have traveled across this country and to many other countries.... You never walk into an empty lobby with a sign on a desk. miserable fail..... I took the elevator to the second floor to check in. You need to know your license plate number which I didn't. Therefore, I had to go back downstairs through the cold lobby outside to get my plate number. This place does not have its own parking and they make you pay for the parking deck across the street. They do not own that parking deck, so it is packed with just anybody... Very inconvenient.... I've been coming up to Penn State since my son became a student 20 years ago and then I subsequently bought rental units. I do not usually stay at this hotel, but my Hyatt card allowed me some free nights at this place, so I took them. Your room key also works the elevator. That is quite bizarre. I am familiar with a room key, giving you access to a penthouse or restricted floors but not every floor. Are you worried about Security? Why don't you put a member of your staff at that empty desk in your lobby? You know where that large staircase is leading up to the second floor? Somebody with ill intentions can easily walk into your lobby walk right up the steps to where people are gathered at the bar or the restaurant.... There is nobody to stop them at the first point of entry. Bizarre. July 4, 2026 day one Barely any television service the entire afternoon or evening. I called a few times about this issue and they seemed less than impressed. There is this sound of water through the pipes in the bathroom that rushes through consistently and then it's very loud and I'm not sure about it. The room was very clean. July 5, 2026 Headed to the second floor for their breakfast. I have to start a painting job so I was there at 6:30 when it opened. The buffet was very clean and well organized. Food was good. Then I headed to the front desk, where I spoke to Martin about the television set. I told him I had already called the day before a few times. He said he would have it checked. I went to work. I came back at 4 PM. I could not get into the parking garage. The card that they gave me suddenly stopped working. I called to help button and they told me to cancel on the screen. I did that and it offered me a ticket to pay for parking. So now I will have to bring that to the front desk this morning before I head out to work. When I arrived back at my room, my room was not cleaned. I had to call the front desk and ask for towels and coffee. They came up right away. They did not leave me any bottled water for the coffee. I called the front desk. They told me they do not give out more mini waters after the first day. It's literally two bottles of miniature waters that might add up to one regular bottle. This place is supposed to be considered upscale in this neighborhood.... Im from the city so upscale has a different meaning for me. I would not stay here again for one very important reason only.... That entrance point into this hotel is open to anyone and everyone. There is nobody on the first floor to check anybody. That is a HUGE security breach in a time where Security needs to be at the forefront of our minds.
