Clean and friendly service. The only issue was the heater was loud and would not turn off. We did alert the staff and they were quick to fix.

Figure out the internet.
My husband stayed here overnight while his mother was at the nearby hospital. Please offer high speed internet without additional cost. Also allow guests to access the HDMI inputs on the TV. He is very tech savvy and just wanted to watch his program on the TV. He asked me to take Hampton Inn off our list of preferred hotels.

I’d stay there again. Needed to have a clerk at the counter when checking out. We were on a time crunch and waited a few minutes but no one was around.
