Very middle of the road typical Hampton Inn. Mostly clean, decent breakfast included. Floor of elevator was spongy. Bed very comfortable but could hear the neighbor tv. Most annoying of all is that we booked 3 rooms but we were assigned 3 corners of the hotel and clerk said she could not give us adjoining rooms at 4pm.

Hotel service was very good, friendly and kind. The room was so/so. The air conditioner seem to be blowing humid air to the point that everything in the room was damp. That includes all bedding, floors and the doors were swollen so they would not shut. It was very uncomfortable to sleep in a damp bed. The room also smelled like a wet dog from being so damp. The floor was not vacuumed before we took possession of it. There was dirt and candy left untouched on the floor. The pool area was nice and attended to. The elevators were a little scary…the doors on them were very slow.

No hair dryer in the room. One wash cloth for 2 people. My “clean” bath towel was stained with coffee. Two doors down from us smoked pot and it was coming into our air vents. *****Please, please check both elevator floors as they bow down when stepped on.****** Elevators were not working properly and are a safety hazard!!!

Being a Hilton member I was shocked with this Hampton. First, was minor issue being the room reserved was not available and assigned a different room. Second, was a major issue. The bathroom looked as though it was not cleaned with built up dirt in corners and dried fecal matter left on toilet seat! Third, with raining outside, window leaked water inside sill and puddled on floor. Forth, One of the two elevators floor has deteriorated or been damaged that there is clearly a hole under tiles. I will never stay there again. Shameful conditions for a Hilton group property.

So unfortunate that it’s not much hotel options to choose from in the area. So you’re basically obligated to choose one from the poor list. The staff were great, the room its self was disappointing. The trash cans were so dirty once we took our own trash bags out of the trash cans. The room itself looks like it hasn’t been dusted in a very long time. Hair in the sink and around coffee machine. Toilet was loose, tub peeling and dirty. Used tissue left in the closet. The pool area looked horrible. The scenery from the pool was awful. One of the elevators would get stuck, ice machine didn’t work.

I sought a Hampton hotel to have a higher end experience; this hotel wasn’t even close. Everything is worn, dated, and dirty. Bathroom roof multiple cracks and leak repairs, a lot of hair (not ours) on the shower curtain, tub drain partially clogged so you stand ankle deep in water, dirt and grease on shower walls, bathroom floor dirty needing vacuumed and mopped Room smelled musty. Carpets worn, corners of wall chipped. I would expect this lack of quality from a low end hotel off the highway, not a Hampton. Extremely disappointed and feel ripped off to have paid Hampton rates for this subpar experience. Daytime staff very nice but the hotel should be avoided. Daytime staff was the only positive thing as they were receptive to feedback. I not only significantly overpaid for the experience but the get away for a mini vacation was a bust…. Huge let down.

This facility has great potential, but it looks like they have become complacent and relying on their previous reputation which could collapse if care is not taken. Cleanliness was not taken seriously during my stay. Despite telling some of the staff about it, it was either not done or not properly done. We met visibly dirty furniture and dirty microwave when we checked in and they remained so till we checked out.

The only negative thing was there was an off smell, almost like urine. We switched rooms and the smell improved, but it was still lingering. Not sure if it was from the heating system or what? the staff were very friendly and helpful.

When we entered the room, it had a weird smell. The closet door was off the track and broken. When we used the shower, water leaked on the bathroom floor into hallway and in front of the entrance door. Maintenance came fixed it but only lasted 2 days before did again. Continued getting busy signal when we tried to call the front desk. The room was quiet and the beds very comfortable. All staff encountered very pleasant and helpful.

We checked in late at night and there was a dead roach in the lobby area that was still in the same spot in the morning. I noted it to the staff so they could clean it up. Also our room was musty smelling. Additionally, two workers were arguing in the breakfast area after breakfast hours very loudly and with abusive language. The manager had to speak with them to calm down. I clearly heard it while getting coffee.
