Hotel staff were very friendfly and helpful HOWEVER, Upon arriving we learn the pool is closed (literal reason we booked here, so the kids could swim). We could use the pool in the other hotel, across the parking lot. Breakfast was non-existent. When we came down Sunday morning the waffle batter was gone, no eggs, no sausage/bacon (emptry trays) and slightly undercooked potatoes. There was still another hour to breakfast service left.

Best Hampton Inn I have ever stayed at. The staff (Lionel) at check in was super accommodating as I had a credit card issue. The room was clean with properly working AC. The gym was really big, clean and fully functional. Everything worked in there with plenty of space to do anything. Many Hampton Inns have small closets for gyms, this place was unusually good.

I had a comfortable room with a large comfy bed. The room was clean and the TV was large. I had a very relaxing visit to this Hampton Inn. The breakfast was delicious, with hot and cold options. The surrounding area had many food options, so I was very satisfied. I especially liked the 24 hour access to tea and hot chocolate (they had coffee too but I don't drink coffee).

The hotel itself seemed clean, however, all the lights in the breakfast area were caked with dust and grime. It was obvious these had not been cleaned in quite some time. Since these hung over the food area, I did not feel confident in the food I was eating. Beds were extremely comfortable, but pillows were horrible. No amenities were offered in the bathroom, such as shower cap, q-tips, etc. Water pressure in shower was very light. Shower floor looked old and dirty. Not sure I would stay at this establishment again.

Not sure why, but there was a constant blower noise coming from an outlet high up on the ceiling. It was not controllable by the fan setting on the thermostat. We were still able to get to sleep but the noise was annoying. Speaking of the thermostat, the temperature was set at 64 degrees and the a/c was blowing cold air. I would expect that the hotel staff would set it to a comfortable temperature, knowing the room was rented for the night. Especially when the outside temperature was in the low 30s.

Overall we had a pretty good experience. Check-in was very quick and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast options were very good. The room was clean and in good shape. My only complaint is the air conditioner in our room did not work correctly. I did not sleep well due to the heat and having to wake up and reset the air conditioner. It stayed at 75 degrees all night, well above the 70 degrees it was set at.

No clerk during the daytime visit to the hotel. Waited 15 min and then left. Checkin at 4:00pm, ripped bedspread cover was a poor impression, especially when you’re holding a deposit. Advised the front desk, but the bedspread remained for the 3-night stay. No pillow on the rollout bed. Used a pillow from the king bed and just slept 1 pillow short.

The property its self was clean, but the staff at the front desk was unwelcoming. The only nice staff person we ran into was a sweet lady and a nice young man working the the breakfast area and putting out coffee. Those two were incredibly courteous asking us how we were and if we needed help. These two deserve a raise! They were there saturday morning the 22nd. Even the lady when we checked out at the front desk acted like we were bothering her.

The only friendly staff was the staff at breakfast. She was awesome! The cleaning staff ere very friendly; however the front desk staff was horrible!!! Ride and on her phone the entire time. The worst part was that we got to the hotel at 4:50 pm and we still had to wait for another 30 minutes for our rooms to be ready. I can only imagine what would have been like if we checked in at 3 pm.

The staff at this Hampton Inn & Suites were by far the nicest, most professional team that I have ever seen at a hotel. From the front desk staff to the kitchen staff, even to the call center reservation representative, they all provided such exceptional service. It was a pleasure staying at the Hampton Inn & Suites Columbia South Ft. Meade Area, I would highly recommend this hotel.
