Hampton Inn

Traveling through Philadelphia for business trying to get home during the Blizzard of 2016. We got snowed in at this Hampton Inn, staff was very friendly, they even provided lunch and dinner the blizzard. I was very impressed how they kept the guests comfortable during the snow emergency.

Clean!!! Really convenient location. Front staff great. Good for long term parking. Only issue was remote did not work

I only had to stay here one night. I’m glad, because it was kind of a hard night.
I had got to the Hampton Inn after driving a few hours from Lancaster, PA. It was around 9pm, and I had to be at the airport at 5am. I pulled in, and rolled our luggage to the front desk. I had installed the Hilton app, so I was already checked in and picked a room. How convenient is that!
I had picked a room on the 1^st floor close to the front desk. That was my mistake. I was thinking convenience. If I had to roll out of there to catch the 4:30 shuttle, I wanted to not have to wait for an elevator. Sounds reasonable, right? Well, the room I picked was right across from a maintenance room. Staff was constantly going in and out of that room. All we heard was the door opening & closing. UGH! Also, we could hear all the conversations from the staff at the front desk. I was not the closest to the front, so I felt really sorry for the other rooms that were closer. After a while, I gave up trying to sleep & just stayed up.
There are some good points about the hotel. There was a free breakfast offered, just not at the times where we could take advantage of it. The free shuttle to the airport was fine. Our driver was super nice & helpful! I broke a nail and the the front desk had a small emery board for me to use. The business center was clean and easily accessible for me to print up my boarding passes.
The room was clean. There were lots of towels for just 2 of us. We had a cute swan towel on the bed. There was a channel guide which I was so thankful for since I stayed up thru the night. There were lots of pillows and the bed was very comfortable!
The cost of the hotel was high, but it was a last minute trip and the location to the airport was key for me. The staff was friendly and helped when I needed it.
Would I stay again? Maybe, but I would definitely change the location of my room!

I had the greatest experience here! After having a nightmare experience across the street at Fairfield Inn. The staff was so welcoming and professional. They are the standard when traveling.
The room was exceptionally clean. The bed had hershey kisses for a little treat. The bathroom was so clean and welcoming. The toilet paper had a little rose made out of the paper and all the towels were folded into flowers!
The bed was so comfortable and the pillows were so soft and cozy. I had the greatest sleep after a long trip into town.
The employees were so helpful and welcomed us with a smile.
The breakfast was delicious and fresh! We stayed on a Thursday and Friday was French toast Friday. They made it as you waited. Fresh blueberries were available for the toast.
Great customer service and the epitome of Philly love. RECOMMEND A MILLION TIMES!

Room was clean, and the bed was comfortable. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed the night before our flight. Van driver was friendly and got us to our gate in plenty of time. We will definitely use this hotel again when flying out of Philly.

Not one of the shining examples of a Hampton. The lobby is clean and the parking is both plentiful in addition to being gated once the neighboring Ruby Tuesday closes each day. It’s also a short drive from PIA though it does offer a shuttle which I saw often on my trips down to the lobby to take advantage of the complimentary hot breakfast they serve between 6 am to 10 am each day, not at 5:30 am like their guest booklet states. The aforementioned Ruby Tuesday is the only restaurant within walking distance of you came carless. That’s a shame when a restaurant like Monaghan’s Pub lies just 3 miles away in Essington.
So why the star-​poor review? I stayed in a room on the 6^th floor on one of the far ends. I come here to work and the wifi was unusable. I could join but that connection would drop every 15 seconds unable to find the default gateway even though the signal showed connected strongly. Yes, I was logged in according to their instructions. I addressed this to the front desk and their response? No one else is complaining! Since my stay with them cost over $ 500 for 3 nights I found this unacceptable. I steered my coworkers away from this location for the upcoming project because of the possibility they may not be able to VPN to our office.
The other weirdness worth mentioning is the tiny window in one corner of the room with the a/​c unit pressed under it which makes sense when the generous summer sun pours in but makes far less when sitting at the desk next to it creating an alternating «freeze then sweat» combination. That freezing blast isn’t all that welcome when you’re eating a hot meal at the desk either which is about all I used it for since I couldn’t work.

The room was clean. The staff was the friendliest ever. The breakfast food was very good. The only negative I can say is that the beds were not as comfortable as I had hoped.

Just an overnight stay. Clean rooms; friendly front desk. Showing its age — I’m seeing a trend here for Hampton; seems like all their hotels are getting old fast. They need to fix this — fast.

A bit of an older facility, but clean. The bed was comfortable to sleep in and the tv’s are also updated flat screens. The only issue was the horrible wifi service. It was barely useable at peak and off peak hours. If this was improved, they would have been at at least 4 stars. Good place to stay, just be aware about the wifi.

Great stopover hotel — the front desk attendant (Chris?) was wonderful, and the woman taking care of our room (Janice) was extremely helpful. Ruby Tuesday is within an easy walk. I needed various shaving articles and a basic bathroom kit; they both helped me out with not a murmur, even though it was the end of the day and they must have been exhausted.
Breakfast was a nice spread, all the usual Hampton Inn items plus a few extras. Everything very fresh.

Decent hotel close to the airport. They offer a shuttle which is a plus. Breakfast area is crowded in the morning due to business people and travelers. Staff is friendly and rooms are nice enough (but a bit outdated!). I wouldn’t go out of my way to stay here but it’s an option if I need to be close to the airport.

I recently was on a «world tour» for work –Philly /​DC /​Richmond, all in a week’s time. When I booked my trip, a hotel closer to where I work was not available. I understand there was some sort of convention in town so almost every hotel was booked. I stayed in this area last time and knew it was a nice area –it is very close to the Philly airport. This was a very nice hotel –the rooms were modern and they offered a generous, free breakfast in the morning. The staff was great and there were no issues at all. I enjoyed my stay. However, just for logistics, I would prefer to stay downtown or closer to the facility where I work to avoid a long commute. This location was about 15 minutes from downtown, and maybe 40 from where I work. Still, if you want to be close to the airport, it is a good option!

The good: The room was nice– comfy bed and pillows. Close to airport ad walking distance to a restaurant across parking lot. Close to airport. Approx 5 min drive or less to airport so it’s convenient for early morning flights.
The not-​so-​good: pretty sketchy… Upon check-​in there were a lot of people milling around the lobby and they weren’t regular business travelers. Obviously the area attracts all kinds but as a female traveling alone I didn’t feel 100% secure. The price was higher than I’ve paid for better places. I wouldn’t stay here again and wouldn’t recommend to any of my friends or co-​workers.
Skip this and stay at the airport hotel instead.

Accommodations met my family’s needs perfectly. Rates were very reasonable too. Also, a big, huge shout out to the entire staff. They were soooooooo friendly and helpful! Loved that crew. The housekeeping crew even parades through breakfast greeting all the guests. Pretty sweet touch! Only minor gripe was the place they recommended for dinner. Turned out to be the worst Italian food we’d ever had. Oh well, it’s all good. Great experience here overalll.

Das Hampton Inn am Airport in Philadelphia ist ein typisches amerikanisches Airporthotel ohne große eigene Infrastruktur mit aber immerhin 152 Zimmern. Damit ist es ausgelegt für typische «One-​nite-​stays» zu einem akzeptablen Preis-​/​Leistungsverhältnis. Das Gebäude ist so ein typischer «setz-mitten-in-die-Pampa”-Block amerikanischer Natur.
Vom Zimmer aus kann man den Tower des Flughafens von Philadelphia gut sehen, der Flughafen ist vielleicht zwei Meilen entfernt. Downtown Philadelphia ist acht Meilen entfernt. Wer nach dem Einfliegen noch ein vernünftiges amerikanisches Abendessen braucht, der kann gegenüber zu Ruby Tuesdays gehen.
Was nicht so hervorragend funktionierte war der Pickup vom Flughafen, alle anderen Airporthotels kommen ständig vorbei. Nach einer halben Stunde Warterei rief ich dann mal im Hotel an und dann ging es. Der Fahrer war aber sehr nett und redete ununterbrochen. CheckIn war problemlos und ultraschnell. CheckOut erinnere ich mich gar nicht, da so früh.
Zimmer sind in etwas ältlichem Stil in dunkelbraun-​Tönen gehalten. Der Teppich ist aber sauber und zwei Betten stehen dem Alleinreisenden zur abwechselnden Benutzung zur Verfügung. Etwas befremdlich wirkt so ein Kinderzimmerschrank, der eigentlich für nichts gut ist. Klimaanlage ist recht laut. Das Bad ist zwar klein, aber es gibt genügend Handtücher zum wie auch immer gearteten Gebrauch. Zwei Dinge, die man in den USA verstehen kann, aber nicht muss: Auch hier im Hotel sind die Wände so dünn, dass man jedes Schnarchen des Nachbarn hört. Schaut der beispielsweise die ganze Nacht fern, so hört man mit. Und in der ganzen Nacht ist Action, immer irgendwie Türengeklapper, rumlaufende Leute — selbst gegen zwei oder drei Uhr. liegt vielleicht an der Flughafenlage.
Fazit: In der ersten Nacht in den USA wird früh geschlafen und früh aufgestanden. Da braucht man keinen großen Luxus und dafür ist das Hotel in Ordnung.

Well, let’s get started:
I called a few days ahead of time to ask about an early check in, and was told I should call the day of to see what was available. I called in the morning, and was told there were plenty of rooms, and they took my name. When I checked in, they go: «You’re in luck, we have a few rooms left for early check-​in!». What? I called this morning, didn’t you set one aside for me?
So one of the elevators was broken, and we were on the sixth floor, right by the stairwell door, and had a shared door with the room next door. The doors in this hotel don’t have anything to slow the door as it closes, meaning all the doors slam shut automatically. Ugh. Our room had no fridge, and no microwave, which taught me to research those things ahead of time.
We went out for the day, and when we came back, the guy at the front desk was on the phone, with a finger in his ear. The lobby and dining area was packed with screaming kids. Our room was awful — we could hear everything from next door, it took 10 – 15 minutes to get up to the 6^th floor on the elevator (because of kids playing with the elevator), and we switched rooms to the second floor. By a stairwell door again. With a shared door again. With no fridge, no microwave. The kids ended up playing tag in the halls, making tons of noise. Despite my complaints, the hotel did nothing — although they were nice about letting us switch rooms.
The hotel itself is old and shabby, and nothing in the interior has been updated since 1985. Things are fraying, rusted, and the hallways are humid and hot. The showers are awful — they have handicap shower wands that are so old, they don’t stay upright, and your shower requires you to use the wand.
I got little sleep, and opened my door to yell at kids running in the hall (their parents/​coaches gave no shits).
The next day, I went home and called Hilton Honors — and told them to give me a refund, which they did.
Avoid this fucking dump.

If there wasn’t so many In convince I would of gave this place three stars…
I came here staying for three days and two nights hoping for a stress free mini vacation but turned out to be a fright fest… Came inside and went straight to the front desk to check in… while getting checked in they kept on saying there was in convince from your payment or not aspecting this due to the late check in… It was nine pm when I got here… I was All tired and want to just checked into my room… but god forbid you have to deal with people… so after an hour and a half of arguing and fixing up complications… I get to go inside and my room… yippy…
Okies checking in and there was an extra five hindered dollar charge so pretty got charge twice after stepping inside my room within ten minutes… While I waited in the room while things were getting fixed it tooled about an hour and a half again for things to get back to normal again… people that work here does not know what they are doing… the rooms and beds are pretty comfortable… A standard hotel… with all the basics needs a hotel has… Yes there is cable and wifi…
There is free breakfast buffet! The breakfast buffet is standard… Eggs, bacon, muffins, bagels, fruits, milk, and etc… The food wasn’t tasty… the muffins were hard and so was the bagels… oops I almost forgot they have waffles mix… do it yourself waffles… I did that… that was prob the only item I enjoy… even the oranges juiced tasted a little watery… what is up with that… They have a huge parking lot…
Service is ok… like I said many… any hotel that ends with a inn in it will suck… be aware!

The bus ride from airport is short fun and worth the wait for entertainment alone. Ok this was the result of a terrible storm. Really the runways were wet, flights were going to Pittsburgh but not past Pittsburgh. So, when home has no snow, and there is bad weather somewhere else, this is the best you could hope for.
We got here with a full lobby. Chris did a really awesome job dealing with mob, and making sure everyone got the stranded tourist kit (toothpaste to deodorant). Even a couple mini waters for the room. He gave choices for food, and it turned out gas station was only one open.
The bed was awesome. The room is typical Hampton Inn. You got enough room to spread out and your worldly possessions not checked in at airport. Yeah, there’s no fridge/​microwave, but you can use microwave down stairs outside of breakfast hours. Breakfast is served until 10 everyday.
All in all, if you’re a refugee of US Airways, and three inches of snow, you could do worse.

Great experience at this Hampton Inn! We arrived early but were still able to check in. Very, very clean rooms. Plenty of toiletries provided, very clean and comfortable beds. Only downfall is no fridge or microwave in our room. Walking distance to Ruby Tuesdays, which was very convenient. Staff was friendly and free breakfast had a lot of options. I’d recommend staying here!

Thisis a pretty solid Hampton Inn. I have stayed atother Hilton properties around the airport and while I would prefer the Embassy Suites or a full-​service Hilton this Hampton is much nicer than either of those near the the Philly airport.
I was arriving late and called to ensure they would hold my room. The young lady that assisted me went ahead and checked me in so I wouldn’t have to wait at 1:30 in the morning.
The hotel itself is older, but it has been renovated. The room was clean and provided a fairly comfortable night’s rest. If I have one thing I wish they would improve it’s the firmness of the bed. Mine was too soft.
I did not sample the breakfast or use any of the facilities at the hotel so I can’t comment on either of those.

Unfortunately I had the misfortune of saying here when the hotel was hosting an event for members of the AOPWHNSIAHB, O* so that impacted my experience.
First the good news… the location is convenient to the interstate and the airport. There’s an Applebee’s (or Chili’s or something) right across the parking lot. My bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The guy who checked me in was nice and very efficient.
Now for the less good… the gym only has one treadmill and there was a line when I was there. Luckily they were all waiting for me to finish, but still. The breakfast area is tight and the omelet they served the day I was there was «meh». Also, the line to make a waffle was out the door thanks to the AOPWHNSIAHB, O. They’ve obviously never eaten a waffle before either because they way they were waiting in line, you’d think they were waiting to see the Second Coming or something. It’s just a waffle!
Now for the bad… the walls and doors are paper thin. The idiots from the AOPWHNSIAHB, O thought it was a good idea to have loud conversations in the hallway all night long and it sounded as if they were sitting on my head.
The worst thing was when I was at the gym, I set my water bottle down on the counter with my towel and phone after I finished running so I could stretch and the guy who was riding the elliptical bike came over, took my water and started drinking it. I said «Dude, that’s my water.» He just put it back and said «sorry» and then got HIS water from where he had set it down. He apologized a couple of more times, but he should have gone and got me another water, is all I’m saying.
I usually don’t mind Hampton Inns and the place itself isn’t awful, this was just a bad stay.
