1. We really liked the handy little drawers in the bathroom. 2. Loved the barn door bathroom and the soap/shampoo dispensers. 3. the hot tub didn't work- no bubbles, water looked dirty, railing was broken- for some time judging by the rust. 4. The chlorine in the pool was so severe I got a bad rash, this is with showering right away. It discolored several of the swimsuits of our family. When we complained about it the staff said it was checked regularly. I am a maintenance person and know you have to verify by testing it yourself. I wish I could send a pic of the damaged swimsuit. Even after washing the clothes they still smell like bleach. One of the primary reasons for staying at Hampton Inn is the pool. The overall experience was better than other stays at competitors.

Really very good! Our one recommendation might be thicker towels and more outlets. The desk by the TV was hard to use due to poor lighting but otherwise very nice. Great breakfast too!!

We have stayed there several times. Usually we are given bottles of water for the room. This time the clerk did not want to and they did nothing for us. Our room was nice as usual but across from ours was some kids who pounded on doors all night and were loud. We had to call the front desk and they did resolve it promptly. The hotel lost its luster for us.

Never again

Wasn’t the best stay. This was a family stay for basketball tournament. The good: clean, comfy beds, close to food and shopping. That’s it. The bad: Jam packed full of people using lobby for drinking alcohol/eating. Kids running around like crazy. Breakfast was terrible; toaster broken, everything was out, Oj water logged, no creamer for coffee. You name it everything out. No plug for tub drain so no bath. People above us were stomping like elephants. Horrendous! Will never stay here again.
