This was the second time I stayed at this hotel. It is clean and the staff is friendly and helpful. The hotel provides a complementary breakfast, but suggest you skip it. It is basic and not very appetizing. Except for one fast-food drive place, you have to drive a few miles to find a restaurant or coffee shop. Hotel choices in the area are limited and this is one of the better spots to stay.

The hotel staff, proximity to highway and room cleanliness was good. But the construction of hotel itself, or at least my floor, was lacking. There was such a space between my door and the door jam that I could literally fit a straw from my room into the hallway without opening the door. Which, in turn, allowed me to hear every single footstep and noise coming from the hallway.

While working in the area, I always stay at the Hampton. The staff is very polite and extremely helpful. Hampton is pretty consistent in regards to furnishings. Lately I am a little disappointed and felt the need to share. Furnishings are a little run down and worn. Couch was really bad to sit on, desk chair ripped and worn. My issue is those heater/air conditioning units. I complained about a mold smell from one and was moved to a different room. Last night the unit smelled bad so I shut it off and dealt with cold. They either smell or the covers vibrated and rattle all night. Would love to get a good nights sleep!

As a Penn State football regular, I've been using this serviceable hotel as a convenient place to stay -- neither too far from nor too close to State College -- for many years. Unfortunately it seems to be declining, and on this last stay, my room bordered on being downright unpleasant: the stuffing of the desk chair was sticking out through a ripped seam; the sofa bed mattress was so thin I could literally feel the metal frame underneath it; and the bathroom smelled of mold and mildew. Not horrible, but no longer a place to which I would happily return.
