Among the nicest properties in DeKalb. The employee at the desk when I arrived on the afternoon of 9/3 was unpleasant, distracted and unable to even fake a smile. The gym is well put together, though the water tank is consistently empty and of no apparent concern to the 9/4 morning front desk staff (two of them, evidently too busy with an empty lobby and vacant eating area to bother with this issue). I purchased water from them.

Everything was clean very comfortable and the staff was decent. The only problem I had was when I’d come home at night. The TV didn’t always work. Had Wi-Fi issues. Breakfast is what you’d expect from premade food. Taste was good.

Great stay. Andrew was the best

We had an amazing stay at the Hampton Inn. From the moment we walked in, Andrew greeted us with such warmth. He was hospitable, and made the check-in process very smooth. He was friendly and funny, and the whole duration of the stay he was very helpful and offered to help us with anything we needed. He made us feel right at home! This man is an asset. Give him a raise! He definitely deserves it.

Staff was super helpful! The beds were comfy. The room was clean. The breakfast was better than most. It was pretty good with many options. It was within walking distance for dining options. Dekalb IL was a pleasant surprise. It was a a nice city and seems safe. We would stay again.
