1. We really liked the handy little drawers in the bathroom. 2. Loved the barn door bathroom and the soap/shampoo dispensers. 3. the hot tub didn't work- no bubbles, water looked dirty, railing was broken- for some time judging by the rust. 4. The chlorine in the pool was so severe I got a bad rash, this is with showering right away. It discolored several of the swimsuits of our family. When we complained about it the staff said it was checked regularly. I am a maintenance person and know you have to verify by testing it yourself. I wish I could send a pic of the damaged swimsuit. Even after washing the clothes they still smell like bleach. One of the primary reasons for staying at Hampton Inn is the pool. The overall experience was better than other stays at competitors.

I was only there for one night, but when the breakfast buffet that is served until 10 am ran out of dark roast by 7:30 and the light roast ran out not long after, I asked the front desk person if they were going to refill it. She said, "Uh, I don't know," and went back to texting. Also, I know fitness rooms aren't the top of everyone's must have list, but two of the three treadmills weren't working, the elliptical made a clunking noise, and there were no sprays or anything to wipe equipment down. No hand sanitizer, either. These were important pre-pandemic, even. Otherwise, the room was comfy the staff checking me in and out were friendly, and the breakfast offered up plenty of options for everyone.

I had to issues with the hotel. First of all, the television kept turning off after 30 minutes. It looked like sleep mode was on, but there didn't seem to be any way to turn it off. Also, in order to use the WIFI, you had to create an account. The second day, I could connect to WIFI but there was no internet connection. The third day, I couldn't even connect to WIFI.

Charged us two different times, when we already paid for our hotel. First time they refunded us, money went back into our account. Now we’re home 6 hours away, and they charged us again this morning. Completely disappointing as this could’ve severely ruined someone’s trip.

I learned to not book Hilton properties through third parties like Expedia. For the same amount of money my friend got 3 times bigger room because he booked through Hilton Honors. the hotel staff gave me a room next to the elevator. They said they couldn’t give me any other room for my type of booking. I am really disappointed that I booked through Expedia.

We have stayed there several times. Usually we are given bottles of water for the room. This time the clerk did not want to and they did nothing for us. Our room was nice as usual but across from ours was some kids who pounded on doors all night and were loud. We had to call the front desk and they did resolve it promptly. The hotel lost its luster for us.

Wasn’t the best stay. This was a family stay for basketball tournament. The good: clean, comfy beds, close to food and shopping. That’s it. The bad: Jam packed full of people using lobby for drinking alcohol/eating. Kids running around like crazy. Breakfast was terrible; toaster broken, everything was out, Oj water logged, no creamer for coffee. You name it everything out. No plug for tub drain so no bath. People above us were stomping like elephants. Horrendous! Will never stay here again.

We stayed here before- and it was a great stay. Quiet, clean, and great breakfast. 2021. This visit. The room was reserved for 4 adults. There was only 3 tiny bath towels in the room. 1 roll of toilet paper and one of the towels had stains. The front desk would not answer the phone to bring more and when my husband went down to get some the guy handed him brand new towels that had never been washed, he told him they were out of clean towels. They were super stiff! The part we looked forward to was the breakfast from last time and today we arrived plenty of time before it closed and there was 2 pieces of toast in the large bread container- no oatmeal - it was empty. No bagels. The waffle batter was very almost empty. There was a batch of biscuits and gravy and a few scrambled eggs left. We asked the cook where the sausage and proteins were like last visit and he just waved his hand in are and said that’s all he had. We will not be back. Yes everything is expensive but people pay for an experience and things have gone down hill here.
