Great stay
Very clean, comfortable bed, quiet heat/AC unit in the room. Loved!!!! The walk-in shower, was not expecting that feature. Hot breakfast was delicious and had plenty of choices.

Shoutout to Front Desk staff
Stayed here while in town for a concert. Although the hotel was very busy, we had a nice stay and breakfast was great! I want to personally thank Reagan at the front desk for helping me after I realized I left my wallet in the room. I live 3 hours away and was worried that I’d have to drive down to retrieve it, but she helped me figure out the best way to ship it back and made sure to handle it personally. I got it the other day and am extremely grateful.

Over all it was a pleasant stay. Staff was great and helpful. The room was comfortable, but there were areas of the carpet that did not seem to get cleaned. The shower head pipe was not secured and would move around when trying to adjust the direction of the water.

Was great. Always try and find Hampton Inns wherever we go. This location charged $75 for a pet where others charge $25, though. Also the front desk was a little abrupt when we arrived around 1am

Was surprised that they never made up my room, at check on they never mentioned that the housekeeping service wasn't offered.
