Yes, this is a sound booking for drivers and families who want a well-rated, practical base in Chico with a pool and gym. Skip it if you want to walk to sights, because the nearest listed attraction is more than half an hour away on foot.

This is our Best Value pick in Chico. It suits couples, families and work travellers who arrive by car and care most about a clean, roomy room and a decent start to the day. Guests describe the rooms as spacious, well maintained and consistently fresh, and the breakfast gets specific praise for hot and cold options such as eggs, sausage and waffles.
It is less suited to anyone who sleeps badly on a firm bed. Some guests say the mattresses feel firm, even though the linens and pillows are soft. If you need a soft mattress, ask the hotel before booking.
Location and getting around
The address is 1651 Springfield Drive. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10.
The one nearby sight in our data is Bidwell Mansion State Historic Park, about 2.9 km away in a straight line, or roughly 36 minutes on foot. That is far for a casual stroll, so plan on a car, a taxi or public transport. Our walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been checked on the ground, so real routes may take longer.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 449 reviews, which put the hotel joint first of the 6 properties in the provider sample on guest rating.
Two things come up most in the positive comments: the rooms, described as spacious and fresh, and the breakfast spread. The main complaint is the beds. Linens and pillows are soft, but the mattresses strike some guests as firm. Nothing in the data assesses noise, room size in square metres or the date of any renovation, so treat those as unknowns.
Price and how it compares with our other Chico picks
In our reference check, a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults came to about €92.72 a night, or around €185 for the two nights. That was 6% below the sample median of €98.97. These are reference prices, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
The comparison with our other two picks is unusual. Quality Inn Near Chico State, the Budget choice, was about €81.80 a night with a score of 8.3. Doubletree By Hilton Chico, Ca, our Luxury pick, was about €88.86 a night with a score of 8.5. So in this reference check the Hampton cost a little more than both, but it scored clearly higher than either. If guest rating matters most to you, the small extra cost buys the best score of the three. If price comes first, the other two are worth a look.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 6 hotels in Chico. The Best Value slot weighs guest score, the number of reviews and the reference price together, so it is not simply the cheapest option. This hotel combined the top review score in the sample, a large review base and a price below the median.
Before you book
Check whether breakfast is included in your rate. Guests praise it, but our data does not confirm that it comes with every booking. Also confirm pool and gym opening times and any fees for your dates.
Read the cancellation terms, since we have not assessed them. If a firm mattress is a problem, ask about bedding options. Finally, compare today's price with the two other picks, because the gap between the three was small in our reference check.
