The desk was very friendly. I had prepaid for my room only to be informed at check-in that there is a very limited amount of hot water. Then went to use the pool and found out, it’s closed because it is not functioning correctly and the hot tub is no longer there. The room was nice.

The room was very clean. Indoor pool water was extremely cold. I had planned for my granddaughters to be able to swim that evening. They only lasted five minutes because the water was so cold. The beds were very uncomfortable. I felt like I spent the night tossing and turning trying to find it comfortable spot. The breakfast was very good and there was a full variety of breakfast foods.

The pool heater was not working so we couldn’t use the pool. We asked for a rollaway and it was delivered, but it was too big for the space. I was kind of scratching my head about that. There was very little hot water. Showers were lukewarm. The ice machines didn’t work. The staff was very nice.

We arrived later than planned only to find out Hampton (not Expedia) had booked us in a smoking room. There is no way I choose a smoking room. Only thing I can think of is that Hampton (thinking we weren't coming) released our room to another and had a "contingency" room on standby for us. There was mold in the shower, the room appeared to have not been used for some time. The TV did not work (the employee told us it didn't work).

For starters when I checked in it was obvious that I interrupted the lady that checked me in; she came from the back handed me my key and went back to the back. Didn’t hear anything about the complementary breakfast, check out time or anything! The room smelt like mildew, so I sprayed some of my cologne in the air conditioner to make it a little better. There is a couple of soft spots in the floor that I was afraid to walk to much on, being I was on the second floor. When I got in bed and laid my head on the pillow I was welcomed by a long hair that was on my face, which was not mine since I’m bald. I was actually going to let all of this slide since I am not a review kind of person, but when I got up the next morning to take a shower, there were two used washcloths on the shower curtain rod, and thought to myself was this room really up to par for $180 for the night? My thought was NO!

I am a die-hard Hampton Inn guest but this property was horrible at best! TV did not work and we were told we would received a credit - we did NOT! Crumbs on floor, walls patched and not painted, lamp on one side of bed did not work, ONE electrical outlet on desk and no USB ports. - no breakfast for us - Could not get out fast enough!!!

I was very happy to a Hampton inn available for the nights stay the night man was as nice as they come. But I don’t think it’s a corporate property It doesn’t have the comfortable beds that I accept when spend the extra money to stay there. This place seemed like a comfort inn with a Hampton sign. Breakfast was disappointing as well. I stay at a lot of Hampton inns and this one put out the bare minimum. This wasn’t a bad stay it was clean and the workers are nice but you can tell the owners don’t care about repeat business

We had some difficulties with the door locks and the halls smelled a little musty, probably related to either the pool or it appeared they had some mechanical issue going on with plumbing or HVAC near lobby. Pool was clean and a good temperature.

The staff was great but the room furniture seemed like it was from 2000. The furniture was surprisingly in great shape despite looking very outdated. My mattress in particular was slightly less comfortable than the other. None of these things are really complaints as the place was very clean and seemed well taken care of.

I didn’t really have an issue with the room. It was clean. But you could hear the neighbors and guest upstairs. They were really loud or the walls and floors are really thin. For the cost of the room I would not expect to not be woken up by the people in surrounding rooms. I wouldn’t stay here again due to that.

I was not however, going to give him another card to put on file. Room was clean and perfect ! Breakfast had a good variety!

We stay at Hampton quite often. It is my go to choice especially when I know it is a new / updated hotel! Unfortunately, this hotel needs updating. It is older and it shows, especially in the bathroom. The breakfast buffet was also not up to the normal standards. The hot choices were limited to biscuits / gravy, sausage and oatmeal. As someone who try’s to stay away from heavy carbs, this was frustrating. In the upside, the staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful! The cleanliness was good as always!
