Great location! Hot tub was nice but bubble jets kept turning off within minutes; and I wouldn’t call it hot, more like warm. Also, bed was very hard. We didn’t sleep well for our entire stay.

The hotel is new-- it's one of only two buildings on the road, which dead-ends right here. That's good because there's no traffic and no external noise. Our room was very spacious and included a sofa, a desk, a large closet, and a mini-kitchenette. Our only complaint is that the lighting in the bathroom was not bright enough to do makeup or hair very well. Breakfast was more than adequate, with a variety of hot and cold choices. The breakfast room was open from 6:00 to 10:00, giving people much more time than usual to eat. I called this an excellent "chain hotel"because if you're looking for something luxurious or historic, this is not it. But if you're looking for something convenient and comfortable, you've found it here.

Room and bathroom was large and bed was comfortable. Didn't like that I was there for 3 days and room was never cleaned. Was told that the new policy is that if you stay longer than one day you have to request maid service. Had to get towels one day and request towels the next which the front desk clerk delivered. Still will stay again.

The person greeting us was exceptional. She was very friendly and helpful. Some things that could have used work. The shower head did not come on all the way due to the level not being able to pull up all the way. The beds were very uncomfortable. I felt like I was sleeping in a cement slab. Also, the light on the alarm clock was bright white so every time I turned on my right side I was disturbed in my sleep. Red light is much better for sleeping. The heater/air conditioner was very loud as well. Otherwise I felt like everything was very nice. There was AAU wrestling kids staying there and they were not loud at all and the front desk told us to let them know if we had any issues with noise. This is the first time I have stayed at a Hampton Inn and it was so uncomfortable. I think the property could stand for some much needed updates.

Overnight front desk lady, called me late at night to stop doing whatever I was doing because it was disturbing neighbors underneath me. We are a family of 4 ppl. The only thing my kid was doing is walking around. The tv was not too loud. I asked to be more specific. She threatened me that if I do not stop doing what I am doing she will kick me out… I was so speechless I have stayed in hotels tons of times and never had this issue before. I guess it was the fault of the hotel for not sound proofing the rooms, but the front desk lady so rude. This hotel the worst of all

No non-dairy milk available. Sign says they can meet special dietary requirements. When I asked for a non dairy alternative the staff didn’t speak English but walked me over to front desk. There I was kindly told with a smile that Hampton only serves regular milk. Apparently the sign was for only some needs???? Oatmeal was pathetic. Worst I had ever seen at even the cheapest of hotels.
