It was a great stay and I’ll come back. Friendly!

Our stay at The Hampton Inn was great. My family and I will definitely come back. Everyone was so nice that worked at the hotel. I was welcomed warmly by the front counter staff in the evening and the morning.

Friendly service and great condition

Excellent service. The young lady who checked us in went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We were early, and had a difficult time arriving due to travel issues, but she let us in our room early and gave us snacks and treats to cheer us up. The hotel was in excellent condition as well and even had a warm indoor pool which we enjoyed!

I did not think this property lived up to the Hampton Inn name. Everything was clean, but the breakfast was sparse and the coffee was out for quite a while. Our room was extremely loud and, while we appreciated that the people next to us were enjoying themselves, we did not need to know the specifics of how they liked to pleasure one another.

Toothpick in my bed

I gave this a low rating because number one I pulled back the cover and top sheet on the bed and found a toothpick! This told me the bed had been used. Disgusting. They gave us a different room but there is no excuse for covering up a previously used bed. The new room had crumbs on the floor. Obviously they have an issue with cleaning. Also the bed was uncomfortable and caused a backache. The pool is tiny but it did work for me to exercise and it was heated. Breakfast was standard. Would not stay again.

The property was kept really clean and was maintained well! I was so happy to feel cleanliness in the bathroom as if I were home. The facility was clean from the moment you stepped in, in the dining areas, elevator, and all the way up to the rooms. There was even hand sanitizer @ the elevator. The staff was really nice upon our checking in and any time we encountered them in between our 3 night stay.
