Was great. Always try and find Hampton Inns wherever we go. This location charged $75 for a pet where others charge $25, though. Also the front desk was a little abrupt when we arrived around 1am

Great hotel!
This was a very nice hotel. The mattresses were too hard and tended to sag in the middle. Room was fresh, lobby inviting, breakfast was awesome! Great coffee area with different teas and the grand kids were so happy to see hot chocolate. Loved the amenities of pleasant scented shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion and liquid hand soap dispensers. Smart tv. Grandkids loved the indoor pool. Lounging area in lobby very comfortable with tv and cozy sitting areas.

2/10 Poor

We booked a room for 3 (2 full beds) because we traveled to drop our son off at college checking in on Monday, August 12 and checking out Thursday, August 15. The hotel was ok but I did find spider webs and other signs of uncleanliness in the bathroom. Some furniture looked a bit old but the room served its purpose for the short visit. The next morning we went down for breakfast and the eggs served looked a bit dull, a strange yellow almost lime color. They seemed to be the cheap hotel eggs from a box. Aside from that they had fruits, bread, bagels, waffles, coffee, etc. It was pretty decent except for the eggs. The next morning it was much better because I was able to get some real protein in with mini omelets or hard boiled eggs they served. That day when we returned to the hotel our bed wasn’t made, our towels were not changed, our amenities were not replenished. They had not cleaned. My husband went down to the front desk and was informed that for “our comfort” housekeeping services were only provided every other day. They had a small sign in the bathroom mirror we should’ve seen. Our bad. Ok , so that meant housekeeping would visit our room on Wednesday. Well, we got back Wednesday night and our room was just the same we had left it in the morning. Same story as the day before. My husband went back down to the front desk. They ended up sending someone to clean, replace towels, etc. We checked out the next day.

The hotel itself was great. Great service. Great front desk employees and house keep and kitchen/wait staff. Breakfast just seemed busy and quality seemed down compared to other stays and the waffle iron wasn’t the best.
