I asked for another room because they put us by the dining area. The answer i got was, they cant give me a different room because i booked with Expedia. Middle of the night i was chatting with Expedia and they apologized and offered me $75 for my next booking and that i will have answer orsolution in 24hrs. 24hrs passed and checked out, no message from expedia. I spoke to the receptionist and another guy -looks like a manager when i checked out about my experience and they tild me that, thats the policy. Never had experience like it in any hotel i had used in the past. So whose to blame.

The walls are so thin we could hear EVERYTHING. Also, the outside of the building was frequented by homeless individuals. I know that is hard to help.

After booking the room on Expedia, we arrived to check-in within a 15-minute window as well as late evening (10:40). The front desk person was super understanding and helpful. Since had two young children, they worked to ensure we were provided with a quiet room. They went above and beyond in the customer service department. Kudos!!! They are an awesome representative for the Hampton Inn and Hilton.

I was really, really impressed with how clean the room was. I'm the type of person that peels back the covers and looks in all the nooks and crannies before I can get comfortable. The room was spotless and had a nice fresh smell too. The view from the window was lovely, the staff was extremely nice, and the breakfast was great! This was such a good deal. Unfortunately, the pool was closed while we were there but I understand these things happen. I couldn't be more pleased with our stay. We will definitely be back!

It was a great stay and I’ll come back. Friendly!

Our stay at The Hampton Inn was great. My family and I will definitely come back. Everyone was so nice that worked at the hotel. I was welcomed warmly by the front counter staff in the evening and the morning.
