We don't travel as much as we used to, but we always try to stay at a Hampton. The breakfast options they provide was adequate and what we've come to expect. The location was convenient. The price was a bit too high. I'm glad we were there for only 1 night.

Not great check in experience

Check in was not a good experience. Waited to for check. To be be told room wasn't available up check in. Since it hasn't been cleaned. Had another king size bed, cleaned, and available. For an individual with no reservation. Front desk clerk was going to have my husband and I wait for a king sized bed room to be cleaned. Despite having a reservation.
