Guests also highlight the indoor pool and fitness room, easy parking, and a handy lobby shop.

Very clean room with lots of towels and sustainable shampoo dispensers. Pool was warm and pool area was very clean. 5 starts as well for the very helpful staff. My daughter was car sick and the front desk staff helped me bag the dirty sheets and provided new ones straight away. My only negative is that they didn't have any alternative milks or even fruit for breakfast so it's dry toast and black coffee for vegans. Definitely would stay again!

Close to Penn West California soccer stadium. Room was nice, good breakfast, friendly staff. Small convenience store next to front desk Only down side was the barking dog staying across the hall from me. Can't fault the hotel staff.

The property advertised EV charging and is located in rather remote area. Places that advertise EV charging know that a level 2 charge is what we are expecting to find, not a regular appliance outlet like for a television or toaster. Also, the staff may have just been off during our stay.... we were assigned a room with someone already in it and that smelled like cigarettes.

Booked a king room for 2 adults. The room was enormous. Everything was clean with zero smell! Interacted with a few staff members and they were all polite. Was able to catch the indoor pool kid free and it was relaxing. Good temp, not too cold. No strong clorine smell. Breakfast has 3 hot ready to eat food, oatmeal with toppings, make it yourself waffles with toppings, cereal, bagels, toast, muffins, yogurt, 3 different juices, milk and more. Grabbed a water and snacks from the little store they had, pretty reasonably prices. Will be staying again!

Average hotel that could definitely use a good cleaning. Elevator floor visibly hasn't been vaccumed in a long time. Stains on furniture in room & phone didnt work. Loud teens running thru halls at night. Fire alarm woke me up but it was due to toast burning in lobby. Since the phone didnt work couldnt confirm if in real danger so had to hurriedly grab what i could & use the 4 flights of stairs to see no staff or direction given. Had to ask food service if there was a fire. Check in staff was friendly but had to ask pool & breakfast info. Those items along with how to get to your room should be said with out asking / pulling teeth. Free hot breakfast was nice perk.

Nice hotel overall. Nice breakfast, always like walnuts for the oatmeal! Comfortable room. The fan in my room was very loud and high pitched. The maintenance people weren't there and weren't going to be back that night. They offered to give me a different room, but the one I checked out smelled. I could've tried a different one but didn't really want to move. I could hear the people next door to me very clearly through the wall. Not specific to this hotel at all... But all these hotels could use some bleach in the corners of the showers and the tubs. That pink and orange stuff is bacteria and I see it in every hotel.

Hotel is clean and reasonable for a short stay. Service staff were very good. The AC in the room worked well but was very noisy, otherwise the condition of the room was very good. The included breakfast was just fair, coffee was not very good. Again, service employees were very good, no complaints. I have stayed at Hampton Inns previously and would consider them again.

Only problem was the WIFI connection was dodgy. It was picky about what browser it would allow the initial sign in to occur on. After that all browsers worked (Duck Duck Go browser would not sign in right, had to use the Microsoft browser. After sign in Duck Duck Go was OK)

The hotel was clean and well maintained, the breakfast had protein options and was tasty, and the staff was super helpful. We had a family gathering for a meal, and they were kind enough to let us use the kitchen oven. Our only complaint is the wifi was extemely difficult to connect to and very unreliable.

The hotel was nice room was not. There were holes in the lamp shades, a hole in the computer chair and the chair in room was disgustingly! I wouldn’t sit on it without a towel covering it. It has so many spots we ended up putting pillow on it. The lobby was very clean the employees were so nice. The cleaning people said they were going into our room to clean. We came back, NOTHING! No clean towels, no emptied trash, no cups. They were outside our door when we asked them if they were going in. When I went to front desk to get towels told them and their response was hmmm weird.

There was small amount of dog or cat food still on the carpet in the room. There was some trash on the bathroom floor. A more serious concern was there was a birthday party in the pool, and the TILE floor in front of the elevators was very wet. There was a wet floor sign, but still there seemed to be a lack of interest about what seemed a unsafe condition. The breakfast was nice but the sliced bread seemed to be pretty old. Everything else on the breakfast seemed great.

Definitely not up to White Marsh MD Hampton! VERY worn out mattress. Very measly buffet. Toaster working on/off, mini fridge on floor instead of counter height making it difficult to access…however, good access for four year olds. Even on our more quiet morning, they did not do a good job of replenishing items.
