Nice hotel and nice people. The only complaint is the breakfast. Really awful low grade food just like other Hampton Inns. What is with those styrofoam omelets? I Say skip the crappy breakfast and lower the price of the hotel room. Either that or upgrade the breakfast. One or the other.

Clean, convenient, and well maintained.

Everything was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was good and staff was great. We enjoyed staying right downtown. Loved Johnny’s Italian restaurant across the street! We appreciated that we could travel with our kitties.

Friendly staff

Central downtown location. Walkable to many restaurants, entertainment options. Pool area was not cleaned daily as trash, hair, used bandaids etc were there for our 3 day stay. Air conditioner in room struggled to maintain 75 degrees making it uncomfortable for sleeping. Friendly staff. With a few tweaks this could be an excellent choice.

Fabulous stay.

Zero issues! Fabulous experience. Suite was larger than expected. Breakfast was fabulous. Probably the best offerings I have had in this level of hotel. Felicia in the breakfast area was not only verk kind she was always buzzing around helping people and working. She is probably definitely one of your best and hardworking employees. She has a genuine warmth and welcoming attitude. All staff were pleasant and had a smile. I stayed 2 nights on a sold out weekend. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. - my only recommendation would be to change light bulb (or add makeup mirror with changing light) color in bathroom so that it makes it easier for women to apply makeup. I did have to go into the kitchen area for more light because the bathroom has an amber cast from the lights. But other than that. Zero issues.

Overall, a good experience but our entire bathroom floor was super sticky - sort of like it had been mopped with honey. Had to keep shoes on in our room because that was gross. (We didn't ask for service because we had a 1 night stay & didn't feel like the hassle but I'm sure they would have addressed it if we had complained.) Breakfast buffet was tasty & efficient - kudos to the lady that was running it!
