The Spotlight on Hampton Inn By Hilton State College

Easygoing Comfort Just Minutes from the Music

Modern, welcoming, and conveniently located, the Hampton Inn By Hilton State College is a solid pick for concert-goers looking for a reliable stay near the heart of State College. Just over a mile from Beaver Stadium and a short drive from Penn State University, this hotel offers comfortable rooms, a seasonal outdoor pool, and free parking—ideal for travelers who want to enjoy the show without the stress.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’re just a quick ride or even a walk away from major venues like Beaver Stadium and Bryce Jordan Center, making it easy to head back and relax after the encore. With free parking, a 24-hour front desk, and late 12:00 PM checkout, the Hampton Inn makes it easy to stay at your own pace. The area stays relatively quiet at night, offering a peaceful retreat after high-energy performances.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends looking for affordable, convenient access to shows and campus events
- Solo travelers on a musical pilgrimage
- Couples making a weekend of it in State College
- Fans who value a quieter recovery space after a loud night out
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality and comfort

Food and Drink Options

A free hot breakfast is served daily—perfect for late risers after a night out. While there’s no on-site restaurant for dinner, several casual spots and local eateries are within a quick drive or rideshare. Plus, with food delivery apps widely available in the area, you won’t go hungry no matter the hour.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more focused on comfort than cocktails, you’re just minutes from downtown State College’s buzzing nightlife scene. Explore nearby bars, local breweries, and live music joints before or after your concert. If you prefer to wind down, the lobby lounge offers a cozy spot to recap the night.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and excellent location near Penn State and major venues. The free breakfast and ample parking are consistently praised, and many travelers note the hotel’s overall quiet vibe, even when events are happening nearby.

Areas for Improvement

The decor is a bit traditional and some guests mention the hotel feels a little dated in places. There’s no on-site bar or restaurant for late-night bites, so plan ahead or bring snacks. The pool is seasonal, so not always available depending on your concert calendar.

The Bottom Line

If you’re looking for a no-fuss, comfy stay close to State College’s biggest venues, Hampton Inn By Hilton State College hits the right note.

Good stay!

Liked: We especially liked the weekend 6 am serve time as we had to leave early both mornings. There was a variety of food choices & a lot of fresh fruit offered.
Disliked: The staff was great. Everyone we met was friendly, professional, accommodating and our room was clean. The only negative is that the hotel looks old and in need of a serious updating.
