Needs some work

The person greeting us was exceptional. She was very friendly and helpful. Some things that could have used work. The shower head did not come on all the way due to the level not being able to pull up all the way. The beds were very uncomfortable. I felt like I was sleeping in a cement slab. Also, the light on the alarm clock was bright white so every time I turned on my right side I was disturbed in my sleep. Red light is much better for sleeping. The heater/air conditioner was very loud as well. Otherwise I felt like everything was very nice. There was AAU wrestling kids staying there and they were not loud at all and the front desk told us to let them know if we had any issues with noise. This is the first time I have stayed at a Hampton Inn and it was so uncomfortable. I think the property could stand for some much needed updates.

Breakfast area was very clean and had a good selection. My room would have been much better with a fresh paint job, wear and tear showing. The shower door was off of its roller track.

Room and bathroom was large and bed was comfortable. Didn't like that I was there for 3 days and room was never cleaned. Was told that the new policy is that if you stay longer than one day you have to request maid service. Had to get towels one day and request towels the next which the front desk clerk delivered. Still will stay again.
