Hampton Inn Philadelphia/King Of Prussia – Valley Forge

Staff and lobby were both nice but the room was dated and dim. The lights did not work properly and it is quite loud being that you are only 100′ from the interstate.
Fitness center had a good amount of equipment but this was also dated. I expected more from this property considering the area.

My girlfriend and I decided to stay one night here for a graduation nearby thinking it couldn’t be so bad despite a few poor reviews. To be totally honest this was the worst experience I have ever had in a hotel in my life.
We arrived at the hotel around 7 PM and were greeted by the staff. There were multiple police officers in the lobby discussing something about trying to «find someone.» That should have been our first hint to leave. Although the staff was friendly at first no one discussed with us what was going on at the time.
Later that night we noticed that our toilet was not working at all. We politely called the front desk and they let us know that there was no Maintenance worker available until 10 am the next day and there were also no other rooms available to switch. They suggested that if we need to use the restroom we would have to walk to the lobby throughout the night. (Great idea after seeing multiple police officers earlier)
At around 2 AM we were awoken by a loud bang that was our door opening. We heard «no there is someone in here» and the person left. Very worried we called the front desk who informed us that it was just the maintenance worker who must have went to the wrong room. !!! I guess he showed up early to his 10 am shift? (Sarcasm) After discussing this angrily with the front desk they offered to repay our stay.
Unable to use the bathroom and not feeling that comfortable leaving the room so late we managed to finally fall asleep. The next morning we were instructed to contact the manager who wasn’t in that day…
Lovely stay at the Hampton Inn.

Good hotel, clean rooms, hot breakfast, close proximity to the mall so lots of food options if you’re staying here.

The hotel was disappointing. The walls were so paper thin that we could hear the person in the room next to us snoring. We requested a room change and the front desk clerk was not very friendly. We were moved to a room directly above the highway. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. I rarely take time to do a review but wanted to do so for this experience.

Comfortable bed, free parking, affordable price and complimentary breakfast. Correction: Nice breakfast (Pancakes, sausage, eggs, waffles, cereal, fruit, etc). It’s also located next to the second biggest shopping mall in the U.S. and tons of other stores and restaurants.
Overall:
I will definitely return.

We like this Hampton Inn. This address has been visited several times for the past few years. Consistently friendly and accommodating staff.
Near the KOP mall and various major business locations.
Free self-​parking which we favor.
If you forgot any bath/​body/​grooming necessities, check w/​the front desk before heading out to Acme Market or Target nearby (I heart Target).
Hubs really appreciates the all-​day availability of coffee and tea next to the front desk area. Coffee is his fuel and it’s convenient after the long drive.
If you prefer Starbucks, it’s near Target. Or go to KOP mall. You’re welcome.
I was seeking water and voilà, Pepsi machines were available w/​a price tag of $ 1.50 for a 20 fl oz bottle. Aquafina? That’ll do.
Btw each floor has a machine.
The Shell gas station food mart may tickle your fancy, maybe.
Their complimentary/​free breakfast consists of bagels, bread slices, various spreads, toaster, waffle maker, cereals, Dannon yogurts, already-​prepared oatmeal w/​some toppings on the side, omelette w/​pieces of veg&meat, round sausages, biscuits, apples, orange juice (and other juices), and I’m sure other comestibles I may have missed. I’m confident I grazed on most. 6am-​10am., I believe.
Enjoy their offerings by seating at the updated dining/​lounging section. A flat screen is on as well set to CNN. Channel feature may vary each day I’m guessing.
The room gives a 90’s vibe at best, conservatively-​observing, so it’s welcoming that they will be remodeling them in 2016.
Our room offered free wifi (though slow at random times), microwave, mini-​refrigerator, coffee maker, 2 sets of 3-​outlets plus 2-​ports, flat screen, and iron/​board.
Their bath and body products are from Neutrogena (Clean line for shampoo and conditioner).
We were fine w/​our room since we each have the fortunate ability to «sleep like a log» — one day that may be our demise in an emergency situation, but for now it works for us since we travel a lot :)
Now pay attention, for those who are light sleepers, please reserve/​request a room on the opposite side of the highway. Consider this helpful advice.
This building/​location is next to the highway. There are not any tall thick sound barrier walls on the hotel’s side of the highway.
I took a pic in front of the window — see the parking spots, a petite weathered fence structure, trees, then the highway.
So while we had a 4-​star experience, others may differ if they don’t research ahead.
I’ve taken my time to share w/​Yelp, so please read and plan.
We’ll definitely be back next year for your consistent service.

The staff was welcoming and friendly on a recent visit. Our rooms were clean and spacious. The free breakfast was a bit picked over, so I’d recommend getting up a bit early if you want to take full advantage (we ran down in the last few minutes haha). The rooms had mini fridges and microwaves which was a nice touch. Close to KOP mall, Philly, Villanova.

I have to admit, I was kind of a snob and hadn’t thought of staying here on business until I had to when I needed to make a last minute reservation and my usual «higher-​end» hotels were booked. Well, let me tell you… this is a really pleasant hotel! Warm, friendly service. And the all important bed linens-​bathroom-​towels cleanliness must-​haves are all there. The breakfast, while basic, is reminiscent of small European hotels, and the freebies like wireless are super. What this hotel may lack in luxuriousness, it more than makes up for in cleanliness, service, and friendliness, I will be back. And for the price, why not?!

Just gross.
Probably the WORST Hampton Inn I’ve ever stepped foot in.
Staff is lovely — lobby is beautifully renovated.
Room? Sleezy motel
Heavy mold on the shower curtain
Flimsy mattress
Nail clippings on the carpet along with food (none mine)
Furniture old, chipped
Your so close to the highway you hear the traffic quite clearly from your room

Usual Hampton service– clean rooms, friendly reception and decent breakfast. Furniture in our room was a little dated.

We arrived after 12am and check in was quick and painless. The clerk was courteous. When we got to the room it was clean and inviting. The one thing I advise is checking room details to confirm microwave and mini fridge. Not all rooms have these amenities. The best thing was the location. It was within walking distance of King of Prussia Mall. Lots of food, banks and shopping nearby. Easy access to the Interstate. We only had breakfast once but it was the typical continental breakfast but it was convenient. All in all it was a good pick and I would stay again providing I get a room with microwave and fridge.

I stayed here to attend a two-​day even at a nearby company and found it to be a run-​of-​the-​mill hotel with few thrills. No room service, the front desk staff tries to be helpful but likely won’t have what you need. The room was clean and comfortable.

Located right next to the mall!!! Great location — room was clean — free breakfast was decent — would deff stay here again

Now I only stopped here for some Internet and coffee but as a diamond member I have to say this front desk staff was absolutely amazing and extremely accommodating. They continually asked if I needed anything and even offered one of their fresh Philadelphia pretzels to share with me. I highly recommend staying at this location when in the area as everyone was extremely nice

I stayed here during business and thought this Hampton was a little older looking than others I’ve stayed at (i.e. room furnishings, bathroom wallpaper). While we were there the hotel was clearly preparing for a corporate visit; all the staff were cleaning and very professional. Nevertheless, the staff was extremely friendly and helpful (thank you Beth for all your front desk assistance). I’d go back for the front desk service alone.

Good hotel, terrible breakfast.
Eggs were clearly the liquid kind from a carton and barely lukewarm. Gravy just tasted like pepper. Pastries were rock hard.
Nice room and good front desk service.

It is ok if you have to stay here. There is a Good breakfast on the morning. The worst thing about the rooms are the beds they probably cost about 50 $ at the kmart. The sheets were also to small for the bed and the bottom sheet came of
In the night so I was sleeping on the mattress. NASTY! The customer service was good.

Flawless stay at the Hampton at King of Prussia. Booked through Priceline (got a steal of a deal), was greeted warmly at the front desk, room was clean and spacious, parking was plentiful. Warm cookies at the door! Comfortable night’s sleep (slight highway noise) and an excellent cup of coffee to send me on my way.

Is it the nicest, most luxurious hotel ever? Of course not. But it IS everything we needed after having a horrid experience down the road at the Park Ridge (Clarion). The desk manager was extremely nice and gave us a discount because of our sob story (all true though), and the room was impeccably clean. The whole place was well-​maintained, the wi-​fi worked great, the TV had no issues, the shower was hot, the breakfast was good. All the right things, the only thing missing for a vacation stay is a pool. We will definitely stay here next time.

I stay at this Hampton when I’m in KoP for business. While my customer is physically closer to the Hampton in Malvern, I’d have hell to pay to the travel nazis at my employer if I stayed at any place that was, god forbid, five dollars more than an other place within a 50-​mile radius. (Apparently, none of them have ever caught on to the fact that the additional mileage they pay me cancels out any potential savings in hotel fees, but, that’s probably too advanced of an intellectual concept to grasp for your average employee at a global conglomerate.) So, with this Hampton always ²⁄₃ of the price of the Malvern location, this is usually where I wind up. It is typically under $ 100/​night, which isn’t bad for a room at a 2.5-star hotel in this area of PA.
With that said… it’s your average Hampton. The staff is friendly, professional, and efficient, and, while the property itself doesn’t have any major warts, it is a bit dated in certain regards and is nearing the point where they need to consider a mid-​life overhaul and update: for instance, most of the rooms still have tube TVs (and the few that have LCDs only have standard def content), the bathroom fixtures are somewhat dated and in some cases don’t work that smoothly, one of the legs on the treadmill in the exercise room was broken rendering it unusable, and I got stuck in the elevator once. (Those emergency phones in there really do work. Amazing.) My room on a recent visit had visible patches in the drywall in the bathroom ceiling where there had obviously been a leak from the bathroom above it, and, while I understand that stuff happens in life and they have to deal with it and move on, let’s just say that the patch job wasn’t exactly going to be featured on a DIY Network episode any time soon. Also, there was one of those portable air blasters running in the first floor lobby pushing musty air out the door, so there must have been a major plumbing malfunction prior to my arrival.
On a side note, speaking of plumbing fixtures, I do love the bathtub fixtures: unlike most hotels which don’t have a mechanism to control the flow to the tub and are either off or on full-​blast, the fixtures here allow the flow to be controlled, so that I can take a bath with a trickle of hot water, just the way I like it. (OK, maybe that was too much information.)
Other than that… the furnishings are fine, the HVAC system works fine, although the room-​to-​room variability manifests again in that some rooms have been switched from on-​wall thermostats to in-​unit thermostats, so you’re sitting there punching the thing on the wall, thinking it’s broken, until you lift the cover on the unit under the window and see the temperature digits shining back at you. Come on, folks, remove the unused thermostat from the wall, or at least post a note or label on it.
The wifi signal is strong but suffers from the typical slowdown in the evenings. One side of the hotel faces the PA Turnpike, whose road noise doesn’t bother me but could be bothersome to some; get an even-​numbered room if that’s a problem for you.
I never eat hotel «breakfasts», so I can’t comment on it. For other meals, it’s within walking distance of the King of Prussia mall and its bevy of standard, pedestrian fare, and there is a Burger King right next door.
Oh, one other thing that people bitch about on [that other big travel review site] is that there is only access to the hotel driveway from southbound US 202 (which actually runs west at this point). So if you’re coming in on northbound US 202, which you would be if you were coming from the expressway or turnpike, you have to go past the hotel and make a U-​turn at the Red Lobster. Oh, and you don’t make this U-​turn from the left lane; there’s a jughandle, so you do it from the right. (I thought only New Jersey had jughandles?) And when you leave the hotel and want to get back on to US 202 towards Norristown, you either have to risk an illegal U-​ey or legally turn around in a nearby neighborhood. Oh, the indignities of life: some countries have earthquakes, some have tsunamis, and we have to drive an extra 40 seconds to get where we’re going, and exit right to go left.
