What guests think

At Hampton Inn State College, travelers consistently note friendly, accommodating staff, clean rooms, and a convenient location near Penn State, Beaver Stadium, and the Bryce Jordan Center, making it an easy base for campus visits.

Rooms are generally comfortable and quiet, though several guests mention dated decor, smaller layouts, thin walls, or noise from the road or lobby. Operational hiccups recur, including delayed room readiness, incorrect bed types, and occasional keying errors such as being assigned an occupied room. Facilities include an outdoor pool that some enjoyed but was temporarily closed for one stay, and the attached restaurant/bar appears closed; expect breakfast to be the primary on-site dining. Overall, expect a practical, value-focused stay with straightforward comforts and some operational quirks.

Equipment in parking lot made things a little inconvenient. No restaurants to walk to. Coffee was good and fresh all day. Breakfast was good.

We chose this hotel primarily because of the outdoor pool, as there isn’t much to do around the property. The price was competitive with other nearby hotels, and I had planned to spend both days by the pool while my child attended orientation. Unfortunately, upon arrival, we were informed that the pool was out of service and wouldn’t be repaired for several days. We were directed to use the pool at another Hilton nearby, which was inconvenient and not what we expected when booking. This significantly impacted our overall experience, especially since the pool was a key factor in choosing this hotel. However the staff was so welcoming, breakfast was great and room was cleaned

Clean, updated, quiet rooms, well-maintained property. Large selection for a continental breakfast. Pool was refreshing and also well-maintained. Property is super-close to Penn State's stadium, ball park and other sports facilities.

Great stay. Easy check in/out. Clean and comfortable room. Breakfast was nice variety of hot/cold options- and complimentary! Only one small issue with one of the elevators - it wouldn’t stop on 2nd floor every time. Lol. Would stay again.

One of the reasons I booked this particular hotel was because it had a restaurant/bar attached to it, only to find out that, although there is one, it is permanently closed. The staff was just lovely and very friendly.

The desk staff (Rory) was very helpful and accommodating. Would highly recommend this Hampton. We were there for a Victorian Craft Show in Bellefonte and the short distance and price were great. We had our craft trailer and needed to leave it until four hours after check out and were able to do this. My only negative comment would be too many cigarette butts outside.

The computers had issues and check in took longer than expected. The first room we were given was on the first floor and smelled damp and musty. The front desk graciously switched us to the third floor that was better but still had a smell. Property is in need of a deep clean.

I tried checking in at 7PM on Monday 3/27 and I was told that the room wasn’t ready but it won’t be too long. I was a bit surprised, but didn’t make a big deal out of it. Long story short, I didn’t get the room until 8:30PM and cleanliness was not up to standard, clearly a quick sloppy job.

I reserved a room with two queen beds but when I arrived I was told that the only room available had a king. The desk agent gave us a roll-away bed and I appreciate that, but it's not the same as a real bed. We arrived late and it felt like they just gave our room to someone else.

We were in town for the Drake concert and the Hampton Inn is right around the corner from The Bryce Jordan Center. It’s walkable (uphill) but parking was reasonable and plentiful sooooo… The hotel was clean, check in was easy and it’s not far from places to eat. We drove about 8 minutes to Texas Roadhouse which is near a lot of other restaurants. It looked like a convenient place to stay if you have to take your kid to college or there for graduation or a football game.
