We were very disappointed at check in when we were informed the pool was out of order & looked like it had been for quite some time. We would have chose somewhere else to stay if we had known. You should keep websites updated. Pop machine said $2 each, only takes card. Found out later I was charged $4.50 each soda. Room was clean. Breakfast was good.

Staff was nice and breakfast is good. The indoor pool was ice cold. Pretty unacceptable when that is the picture you use to sell the property. My six year old was bummed. The bathroom had bubbled wall paper and marks on the wall from repairs. The building definitely needs some updating and a heater in the pool.

Hotel is across the street from Mizzou, which is very convenient for visits. There was plenty of parking and the hotel staff were friendly. The room and hotel were clean. The vending machines were out of water on every floor, but you could still buy water bottles at the main desk. We were only there for one night, so it was perfect for our stay.

The room was clean. Tried to use guest laundry and had to hunt for someone to give quarters for the machines. Then the soap dispenser ate the coins. Maintenance arrived quickly and fixed the situation. The next night, my key card stopped working. Two cards later (and two trips downstairs), I called the front desk from my cell and maintenance arrived again. Opened the door with a crowbar and I was set. Just two rough nights in a row.

Room signs of patch painting like covered up stains, loose wallpaper, no vent fan in bathroom, shower walls in poor condition and plumbing was not working correctly. Night stand drawer had old candy and signs of spilled drinks or liquid. Parking in the rear of the building only, with only one entrance that is not secured so any one can walk in.

The hotel room felt like it had a layer of grime on the sheets and carpet. I walked on the carpet with clean white socks on and they were literally dirty on the bottoms when I took them off 😳 Walls and shower had stains and the shower head was covered in mold. The TV was broken as well, giant black spot on the screen. The service was okay. The area didn’t feel the safest, I would not stay here again, if I’m ever traveling back through the area.

Definitely the worst Hampton Inn I have ever stayed at. Front desk clerk seemed bored and disinterested. Worst was the state of the room. I can't believe Hilton are charging $190+ for a room that was more like a budget motel room. Old, dated, dirty and scruffy. Tried emailing Hilton guest relations but they didn't bother to reply. Sad as I was a great Hampton Inn fan until this 😌

We booked a room with double queen beds for a 2 night stay. The beds were too firm in our opinion but some people may prefer that. The room was clean, and the free daily breakfast was good. The hot breakfast was simple but better than just being offered some bagels and muffins. The close proximity to Mizzou was nice as we were there for orientation for the fall semester. Overall, it was a good experience.

Our air conditioner was not working well in the room. When we arrived, it was very late. It was stuffy in the room and we just assumed it was turned up. We adjusted it and went to bed. I woke up in the middle of the night sweating profusely, ended up getting quite ill. My daughter had Mizzou orientation that day and it was unbelievably hot and humid outside. Not sure whether the air couldn’t keep up overnight or was broken. I mentioned this at checkout and nothing was said or done. I was extremely disappointed that some kind of discount wasn’t offered.

The room above us it sounded like the people were working out. There was jumping up and down our ceiling was shaking till about midnight. We woke up to hearing doors slam, jumping again, and about 6 AM in the morning that we could hear someone’s dog barking. Room setup was nice- hotel needs updating mix matched lightbulbs, water damage in bathroom around tub. Tv stand and tv rattled when you walked. Our window was blowing cold air in. Breakfast was good- friendly staff in eating area.

The hotel was fine but was over run by kids that were totally unsupervised. They ran up and down the hall all night and were very loud even after midnight. The fire alarm was set off during the night and we had to get up and go outside! We were unable to use the elevators due to kids riding them up and down. It is managements job to make sure all guests are attended to. For the price we had to pay for two nights we expected a lot better. When I brought this to the attention of the staff, they said sorry it is just the way it is. We will pass on this hotel next time.

The hotel room was clean and equipped. The check in process was unique and different than one I’ve ever experienced. When we walked in, I offered my last name to the front desk staff. No request for ID, only a CC. Swiped our card and handed us the room keys. No information about incidentals, breakfast, pool hours, check out etc.

Our original check in time was at 3pm. They told us it would be later because they were running behind. While waiting we saw 3 other people check in, I go and ask why we can’t and they said it would be another 15 minutes. Once we finally were able to check in it wasn’t the room I originally reserved, I reserved two beds and we only had one and they would not change it. We also found a spider in the tub. I will never stay here again and do not recommend anyone stay here.

This is a nice place, tucked up against the southern edge of campus. A down side of the location is that there aren't any other businesses other than a gas station and a mediocre sports bar and grill anywhere near the hotel. An upside is that there are two huge parks just south of the hotel and a huge college campus north of it.

Great free breakfast, right next to Stadium grill restaurant with good food and decent drinks. My room had a hole in the cabinet that houses the fridge which looked like either a rodent chewed through it. There were piles of almonds in it. I wasn't able to switch rooms because of the high volume due to Mizzou move-ins that day. But someone was able to at least vacuum up all those almonds and such from that hole. I did send property manager pics of the hole. I thought rooms were cleaned daily but was told it was every other day which I didn't know. No big deal since we just called for more clean towels
