I stayed in State College couple of weeks ago and the area is fantastic, this will be my recommendation as well. Leaving Firday afternoon you can make it to Courdersport and stay at Paul's Motel (Gas, corner store and a Macdonalds open 24 hours), then Saturday pick up and do all the roads around the area and make it to State College and then SUnday ride the Southern Part of PA going back to State College and then riding back the next day.
I stayed at the Super 8, good rooms with Wifi and it has a 24 hour Ihop you can walk to.
Near State College, make sure you go to Whipple Dam Beach
