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.

Barbara, Carlisle

Due to a death in my family I had to cancel this trip on Monday, 6/23. Expedia reached out on my behalf to talk to Hampton and explain the situation. Hampton refused to cancel my reservation with a refund. Very disappointing. The request was 24hrs prior to check in, but still within their no refund policy. Is sad they felt the immediate payment for a room they can now rebook was more important that a sustained relationship with a frequent traveler. Other items I needed to cancel did so immediately, with refund and their condolences.

Room access from the bottom of the doors, not good

I enjoyed my stay but I was quite interested as to why the doors have allowable access to rooms from the bottoms of the doors. The dirt and debris that may gather outside can be blown into each room throughout the day. Access can also be made by using the door openings at the bottom of the doors.
