Great stay - recommend!

Would easily stay here again! Were in the area for a family gathering & wanted to be near the activities. The hotel staff was top notch, friendly, accommodating, helpful & went above & beyond. The room we selected was just what we needed. Enjoyed the delicious breakfast (literally something for everyone) & all-day coffee & tea bar. Hotel was clean & comfy. Family friendly. Grocery store down the street, local to a “downtown” area for restaurants, bars, etc,

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.

We have stayed at Hampton Inn before and it has never disappointed us. We usually just do a simple overnight stay or two. We really enjoyed the free breakfast and coffee, which was great! Most of all, we really appreciate the late checkout time.
