“A great place for rest”

It was not paste.It was not far from the Gettysburg business center, so you could go and then come back and rest. They had a swim meet and a gymnastic meet in the area, but still was able to give 1st rate service.I will go back. If you are a couple and want an awesome room, get the whirlpool room with king bed.

“Average stay and high nightly rate.”

This was an average stay for Hampton Inn. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly.

This was an average stay for Hampton Inn. It was very clean and the staff were very friendly. As this was memorial day weekend the rates were inflated however I don't think the rate reflects the quality, even when staying on non-peak days. We stayed for a soccer tournament. The location was perfect for a quick trip to the fields and back, only about a 5 minute drive. Walmart directly behind the hotel, and shops and restaurants across the street. It's about a 15 minute drive to the Gettysburg battlefields. I stay at Hampton inn's pretty exclusively. This one did have some issues with the room. The rooms are relatively small compared to other Hamptons, with bags and sports items and 2 adults and 2 teenagers it was a tight fit. The shower had old fixtures and didn't fully switch from tub to shower so the pressure was a little off and wasted a ton of water. The beds were very firm. They did not have medium or dark roast coffee, only light or decaf. The cookies were all oatmeal raisin, they still tasted great however would've enjoyed a variety. The breakfast was pretty great with good options. The pool was a good size/depth and clean, but the hot tub was barely hot, probably because it's used as a kiddie pool by most parents. There was a lot of street noise, not much from inside the hotel but the traffic outside and people showing off their engines was quite loud as I chose a street side room and definitely should've chose one with a parking lot view. The one small window had the loudest curtain when raising it up and down. There was a small desk that was beside a bed so not much room to spread out. We had gotten take out and had to eat in the bed. They also had very ineffective luggage carts. They were a small triangle shape which makes for interesting arrangement of bags. I don't know that if I find myself in Gettysburg again, that I would stay here or try a different hotel. It was not worth the rate and other hotels had much better rates. It pains me to say that as I prefer Hampton Inn and pay a higher rate over other hotels because it is usually a quality place.

“Not worth the rate for average”

This Hampton unit was on the low end of average. Would look elsewhere next time . SENSORY ALERTS: 3 out of 5 LIGHTS- 1 out of 5. lighting throughout is harsh bright light. The room had bright cool white bulbs that was not relaxing. NOISE: 4 out of 5 The room was very quiet. Heavy doors and walls made it so the outside noise was greatly diminished. One side of the hotel is close to the road so some traffic noise is evident Room cleanliness is below average. 2 out of 5. When we got to our first room, there was a strong smell of mildew and the carpet felt damp, so we switched rooms immediately, and when we got to that room, there were long strands of hair on the bathroom, floor and tub. The mirrors look like it had been washed with a dirty, wet rag. The rest of the room appeared fairly clean, but the carpet was badly worn and was starting to come up at the seams Beds: 3 or of 5. They were VERY hard. Also, they were supposed to be queens but I’m pretty certain they were Full. Breakfast. 1 out 5 for the hot food. The staff needs to be re-trained on how to properly prepare rehydrated food. Clearly, they use dehydrated eggs and they were over saturated with water and sitting in a pool of water at the bottom of the heating pan. When you eat them, all you tasted was water. Same thing for the sausage patties; it appears that they were heated in water and microwave. Rubbery and disgusting. Bacon is pre-cooked and would have been fine if they had then not soaked it in the hot water reheating bin. Pool. 2 out of 5. The pool area was over chlorinated and hard on the eyes. The hot tub was overly foamy. This tells me that it was over chlorinate or dirty with “solids”. Excercise room 2 out of 5. When I called to book the reservation, I specifically asked the front desk if they had the recumbent bike as was depicted on the website for this unit. This was important to me because I can’t use a standard stationary bike when I got here, that’s exactly what it was, a standard stationary .
