Room was great and the staff were so accommodating and kind. They helped us out by calling our upstairs neighbors to ask them to stop being so noisy. The surrounding area was kind of desolate but it was fine for our needs.

Not returning

I’ll start with the good. The facility is very nice and updated and clean. The staff was very friendly. The pool was small but adequate and I loved the outline and design of the room. I didn’t partake but the hot breakfast I’m sure is a hit by a lot of people. Now the bad. The website says that it’s pet friendly and you don’t find out until you get there that there’s an additional $75 fee to be pet friendly and it’s nonrefundable. It’s an additional fee. The bed was hard as a rock. It was the worst hotel stay sleeping wise that I have ever had. The pillows are small and squishy and square And there was really no way to get comfortable between the two I was on the first floor and every time the person above me flushed it sound like a waterfall going on over my head and anytime anybody in the floor is above me used their shower. There was this weird hum in the wall that never went away.

Our Go-to Hotel

This is our go-to for Six Flags visits. We've stayed here numerous times and always have a great experience. We had a hiccup with our room not being cleaned, but the front desk staff immediately set it right. We understand things happen, but we were pleased with the customer service.

Terrible service

Air conditioner did not turn off making noise and the front desk person from 3rd shift, had a terrible attitude. Safe box did not work and did not fix it. The website says that breakfast is available up to 10am, which is wrong, it is up to 9am. They did not have enough food for all the guests. Very bad experience.

Yesenia (lady at the front desk) honestly went above and beyond for us. Expedia somehow thought I had made a duplicate order for rooms and I guess deleted one (my mother and myself have very similar names). So she did not have a room booked like she was supposed to when we arrived, Yesenia got us taken care of right away and informed us to have Expedia call the front desk so she could confirm the issue and get them to refund my mother the money for the room and they did! She was very kind and understanding about the whole situation and as a whole was just a lovely person for the entire stay of our trip, always asking how everything was and offering bottles of water for our outings to make sure we stayed hydrated. She really made our stay a great experience!

Best Stay in the Area!

The best stay in the area! We stay in hotels surrounding this area frequently due to our Six Flags trips. This Hampton is our favorite place to stay! It consistently has excellent service, it's very clean, and the breakfast is good/offers a variety of food.
