Good location with free parking, nice breakfast and spacious room
Pros:

Breakfast was very good and the dining area was cheerful and nice. As for the room, it was spacious and included a minifridge. The bed and pillows were very comfy. I was glad to see that there were towel/clothes hooks accessible for someone in a wheelchair - that was a nice idea. The pool was refreshing and we were glad to be close to downtown.

Cons:

The toilet paper holder was kind of odd - the roll easily slipped off the bar, would have been nice to have something to keep it from falling onto the floor.

Also, along with the lower clothes/towel hooks, it would be nice to have a couple more placed higher up for us long-legged people for hanging long jeans, etc.

Neither of these things were dealbreakers, of course! They're just minor things. We really enjoyed our stay.

This check-n situation and breakfast area has made my decision NEVER to stay at a Hilton property a.
Pros:

The bedroom was clean.

Cons:

I stood in line from 3:45 PM to 5 PM because the internet was not working and the staff could not check in anyone.
At around 6:45 PM the internet was still not working. One of the staff said this happens when it is HOT outside and all
Hiltons were affected. After standing in line for all that time I was told by the staff I would get some type of reduction in my stay. I had photocopied my reservation from booking.com and finally the hotel gave me a key without using the internet to check me in. The reduction in the cost of my stay never occurred since I did not phone the hotel to make a reservation. The
breakfast space was too small and there was no place for us and some other guests to sit. The entire breakfast area did not accommodate the number of hotel guests, and the staff did not even clean the table spaces after a person soiled the tables.

It served our needs as it was a quick overnight trip
Pros:

This is the second time staying here for PSU new student orientation. It was close to campus and had a good quick breakfast and the hotel served our needs as we only were there 8 hours to sleep.

Pros:

Location was great!

Cons:

Hotel seemed older and below the standards of a Hampton Inn. My door was old and not working well. Seemed old and on its last leg. Just seemed it was a cut below my expectations for a Hampton. People were great though. Work out room was decent. Was worth the price though.

Disgusting service and accommodations
Pros:

The rooms were musty, damp and dank due to leaking air conditioning units. The “closets” were 6” deep and 8’ wide without the ability to fit a standard size hanger. The boilers were not working and there was no hot water for 2 straight days.

The front desk manager was an inexperienced young girl who was incapable of assisting with any concern without becoming hostile and snippy.

Hampton are one of our “go to” hotels because of consistency. This hotel does not live up to the name Hampton.

Cons:

There was no breakfast on our first day, as I was told someone who was supposed to cook hasn’t showed up for work and we had nothing to eat that morning. We had trail running even that morning, so timing with nutrition was crucial that day. Except for that, everything else about this stay was as expected from this chain.
