“Pretty much what you expect”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

This property is pretty much what you would expect it to be. I have stayed/continue to stay here when work takes me to State College. It is well located near the main arterial, within walking distance of the stadium if you are headed to a game, close to most points on campus as well as the technology incubator.

There is nothing fancy about it, but they provide the product you expect and do it well. I will say this...I have been staying there over the last 5 years and they have redone most of the property. They put effort into maintaining the "fresh" look of the place and it shows. Now and then over the past year, I have gotten a room where the carpet needed updated. When I informed the property manager of this during a follow-up discussion, I was informed they were aware and working through the replacement of all carpet.

Additionally, there is a Damon's right in the parking lot so you can grab a bite of dinner and a drink without even getting in the car. Not bad after a long day.

“Would stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 January 2012

We have used this facilty twice and would stay again. The first time we were attending a show at the BJC. Room very comfortable, nice breakfast, and also so convenient to the bar and restaraunt right in front of the hotel.

The second time was when my daughter and niece went to a concert and it started snowing. There was no way I was having my 18yr old drive home 2 hours in a snowstorm. Hampton was great to them, and even had some essentials such as toothbrushes and toothpaste.

I am currently looking into going there for a weekend just my husband and I and will stay at Hampton again.

“Great Stay, Very Close to Campus”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Stayed in mid-January 2012. Super-friend staff at the desk and in the halls, very helpful. Very accommodating to a group of 23 high school rugby players, who ate and ate and ate at the breakfast. Breakfast was great each morning, with lots of fresh fruit and a wide selection. Super-clean rooms, that smelled good, which is saying something. Very nicely maintained throughout. Recommended. We will use this hotel again when returning to College Station.

Room Tip: Away from the elevator is always best, as this is where the ice machie and vending is.

“All that is good about Hampton Inn”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 January 2012

No complaints here. A basic but very nice Hampton Inn. Spotlessly clean, great service, nice room, comfortable bed.

“Very nice.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 December 2011

I have nothing bad to say about our stay at this hotel. My sons loved the breakfasts, and I was very pleased with the cleanliness of the hotel lobby and breakfast area, as well as our rooms. Everything looked very new and up-to-date. Hotel staff was friendly.

One suggestion, if staying during the winter, keep hydrated since the forced heat is very dry.

Room Tip: If not in need of handicap accommodations, specifically ask for a non-handicap room. Shower had lot...
