Easy to hear neighbors through thin walls
The two-and-a-half-pearl Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey is a good
choice for Hershey visitors watching their budgets. It’s within a brief drive
to the major attractions and just a few minutes from the heart of downtown. Its
110 rooms are clean and spacious with polished marble vanities and showers.
Rooms come with microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, and some Suites have
kitchenettes with dishwashers and stove tops. Throw in a free hot breakfast and
heated indoor pool and whirlpool and it’s a good value package for a tourist town
where many hotels charge hefty rates in peak season. But it doesn’t offer
shuttle services like some area hotels, and guests report easily hearing
adjacent neighbors. Rates are competitive, but the budget Comfort Inn at the Park
offers similar features and better rates on most dates.

Scene
Casual tourist hotel that stays busy, especially in high season
This Hampton Inn stays busy with tourists visiting the popular
Hershey attractions, but business travelers loyal to the Hampton brand patronize it, too.
The lobby breakfast area is designed to accommodate the various families and
groups who stay here. A long, dark wood table with several chairs centers the dining
area, a nice place for extended or multiple families to dine together. A
trio of oval, modern chandeliers is suspended above the table, emitting a warm
glow. Clusters of smaller tables that seat two or four surround the center table
with copper and blue chairs. There are columns and partial walls separating
some tables to create quiet and more private spaces for those who seek them. An
adjacent living room-like area with a gold sofa and chairs is positioned in front
of a flat-screen TV surrounded by framed, black-and-white nature photos. The
lobby, like the hotel itself, is casual, warm, and inviting.
Location
Near downtown Hershey and attractions
The Hampton is near downtown, within a brief drive of most
major attractions in Hershey. It sits on a relatively quiet stretch of the main
thoroughfare, East Chocolate Avenue, adjacent to the back of the Hershey Country
Club and the entrance to the Spring Creek Golf Course. A few restaurants,
shops, and pubs are within a brief walk of two or three minutes, and many more
are only a few minutes away by car. - One-minute drive to Spring Creek Golf Course (seven-minute walk)
Rooms
Clean and spacious with mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers; some suites with kitchenettes
There are a few room options at the Hampton Inn & Suites Hershey, but they all share the same simple
but tasteful decor. Beige carpets in square patterns and beige and light brown
drapes contrast the off-white painted walls. Matching furniture of reddish-brown wood includes headboards, dressers, desks, and armoires (not in all rooms). Some
rooms have crimson armchairs, while others have dark brown striped sleeper
sofas. Comfortable beds are topped by bright white duvets accented with maroon skirts. The rooms are spacious and clean. Standard room options include
one king, two queens, or two queen beds with a sleeper sofa. Each one king Suite has a jetted tub with a sitting area. And the Studio king option has sleeper
sofas and kitchenettes with full refrigerators, stove tops, and dishwashers. The two-room king Suites have kitchenettes, sleeper sofas, and a second flat-screen TV. Amenities in all rooms include mini-fridges, microwaves, and coffeemakers, plus flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and lap desks. Bathrooms are a touch more elegant than the usual Hampton Inn, with polished marble vanities, floors, and walls framing the shower/tub combos. On the downside, guests report that the walls
are on the thin side, making it possible to hear conversations in adjacent rooms.
The hotel is generally quiet, but rooms in the front facing the busy road hear
more street noise. Views are generally of the busy street or hotel grounds, but
some rooms face the interior courtyard.

free weights. The heated indoor pool area has an
