This was my first time staying here and I definitely would recommend it. It was clean and quiet. The stay was so nice, ESPECIALLY Ms. Felicia who ran breakfast the weekend I was there and all weekends. So welcoming and such a special member of the staff. Plus she can throw down in the kitchen (especially those breakfast potatoes. 5 star). I will be returning to this area in the fall hopefully and hope to see Ms. Felicia there.

This is a very beautiful place to stay, the workers were really nice and courteous except for an older big white guy who refused to give me and my kids bottle water and said the bottle water were for Elite members only.That wasn’t my first time there , I’m always welcome with a bag containing 2 bottle water as a Hilton Honor member each time I stay there but this particular night I checked in around 11pm and had to ask for just a bottle when he didn’t offer any but he vehemently refused us when he had a truck load of water sitting right next to him at the front desk and was so rude!!!!!

Mediocre experience

We arrived around 7 pm for check in (which supposedly started closer to 3) and were informed our rooms the we had already paid for may not be available. After a 15 minute or so wait and the receptionist making multiple phone calls we ended up with keys to the type of rooms we booked. We chose the hotel due to the availability of the pool. The pool had ants crawling on the deck and it was visibly dirty (black marks all over the floor). The room was clean and adequate if not sparse and outdated. We won’t be staying again.

Pool area floor was not clean. Visible grime. When in hot tub, I noticed ants crawling nearby and even one floating in the water which was enough for me to get out. My son was excited to use the pool so we stayed down there for about an hour. I purposely didn’t bring any shower products bc hampton inn usually provides them. The shampoo bottle in shower was empty and body hair from previous patron was on bottle. Decided to give my son a shower instead of bath because every time I plugged bathtub to fill, black specks were in water. Emptied and tried to fill 2x. Still black specks. By sink there was razor cover from previous patron. Had brought our own blanket so slept on top of bedcovers and used own blanket after deciding room wasn’t thoroughly clean. I was too tired from travel and day’s activities to complain.

This property is in desperate need of a refurbishment. As soon as you walk in, there’s a musty smell which hits you. Room is very old fashioned with fabrics which look like they’ve been there for decades and also a very musty smell. Can’t fault the staff though, very friendly and attentive.
