Sunrise at the Hampton Inn.
Michael K.

It was a long day of driving and sightseeing before my wife and I arrived at the Hampton Inn sometime after dinner. The road by the hotel was closed due to construction but it looked like local traffic could pass so we went for it. The next morning we discovered that we could approach from the other direction by driving through the shopping plaza. The front desk staff were friendly and got us on our way to our room in no time. Up on the 5th floor towards the end was our oversized room. Not sure if they are all this big or just a few rooms but we weren't complaining. It was a double size room with a table in the middle dividing the sitting and sleeping areas. The large flat screen TV on the table could swivel to be viewable from either side. We enjoyed a good night's sleep with a soft king size bed. We couldn't hear any outside noises nor other guests. Breakfast was disappointing though with no waffle irons but they did serve Froot Loops.

King size room... looks comfy!

This is a nice enough place that is very clean and had a good breakfast buffet (they always have…read moreeggs, and will do like sausage and French toast or waffles and bacon every other day; also always have cereal and a yogurt bar available). The rooms were clean though my bed smelled like fries in places (and I don't eat in bed nor did I have fries in my room). The bathroom lights took some figuring out (they have a motion sensor) and the last night of our stay the power was shut off (by the city so not the hotels fault) and a loud generator was going. Overall nice place though!

I'm pretty lenient with my hotel standards, but this one really just missed the mark in so many…read moreways. We were midway on a road trip and stopped here, and it looked so promising online before actually experiencing it. The car area to drop bags up front is a small semi-circle and a bit chaotic. Cars get stuck easily if just one car up front takes too long. So it's kind of a weird 'welcome' as it is. From there, I think I may've experienced the most checked-out-check-in guy I've ever seen working the counter. It was actually impressive, like a caricature of someone who hates his job. I said hello, he stared at me. I guided him through how to check me in essentially, giving my ID, spelling my name out, and a credit card. He said not a word. I had to ask everything; ok and the elevators are that way? Breakfast is what time? Parking is where? etc. One big draw for this summer road trip with our longest day driving so no matter the weather, we knew they could swim here. Nope, pool was closed and that set everyone off. Girls were like "this trip stinks we wanna go home!" The room was fine, smelled a bit mildewed. Nothing too bad, but just fine overall. The breakfast the next day was poor quality, IMO. The oatmeal was impressive in that it was somehow super watery AND super thick and gummy. The fruit options are minimal, and it's sort of more 1990's continental breakfast than Hampton Inn. I was excited to see hard boiled eggs but they left the shell on and they were super sticky, so that was a one and done. Luckily the staff on the way out was friendlier than the guy before (would be hard not to be) and the hotel luggage carts came in handy. Other than that, very forgettable, and I would definitely go elsewhere next time around despite the nice location for this hotel.

We absolutely loved our stay! This hotel is beautiful inside and out. I loved exploring and looking…read moreat all the antique furniture. We stayed in a vintage double queen and I thought the room had a lot of charm. The furniture in our room was older due to the style of room (and was absolutely what I wanted), but any amenities were updated. The shower was modern with what I am pretty sure was a rainfall showerhead and a handheld as well. Very refreshing. Loved how the soap smelled too, very fresh and lemony (I actually liked it so much I asked the front desk for a couple bars to take home and they were kind enough to toss a couple my way.) Staff was all very friendly and kind. The breakfast in the morning was quite tasty as well. We'd absolutely stay here again. Hopefully next time, we have time to use the pool.

On first glance this looked like a nice place. The exterior had a faux-chateau look, the lobby was…read morespacious, there was a bar, a restaurant, a pool, etc. Sounds good so far, right? Upon arriving in our room - again first glance was okay. But there was a large flickering light fixture in the bathroom, and when we visited relatives in another room the same thing was happening there. Not a deal breaker, but oddly annoying - though not as annoying as the barely lukewarm shower in the morning. Oh yeah - no bathroom exhaust fan either. WHY DON'T ALL HOTEL BATHROOMS HAVE AN EXHAUST FAN? For heating/cooling there was no 'constant fan' option in our room (though our relative's room DID have that feature), which meant overnight the a/c went ON AND OFF loudly on an irregular basis, usually just went we briefly dozed off. And when it was off you could hear every door slam, people talking in the hallway, doors slamming, and people running back and forth down the hall. That is until the a/c went briefly on again. Loudly. We asked the front desk for a fan (to use as some kind of white noise device) but they didn't have one. Pillows were flat and hard, only compounding what was easily the worst night sleep (or lack thereof) I have ever had in a hotel. And I have stayed in a few skeevy joints. The hotel bar apparently closed early on the night we wanted to stop in for a cocktail, so we missed out on that. The whole 'closing early' thing is also a pet peeve of mine. We were told we could not bring our own cocktails down to the lobby, though there was a large table of boisterous teenagers playing poker - so I guess that was ok but not four adults sharing a quiet drink. The room keys were very temperamental - working sometimes and not others. We were told when signing in not to keep keycards near credit cards or they wouldn't work (never had that issue other places, but whatever). Even keeping the key in a separate and empty shirt pocket did not prevent the wonky access issues, which required a few visits to the front desk to have the keycard 'fixed'. Complimentary breakfast was ok, though our party did have some disagreements on the food quality. In all fairness it was about what I was expecting. Short version: noisy, uncomfortable, noisy, and uncomfortable. I can't stress how horrible the overnight stay was here. Sure - your mileage may vary but you have been warned.

After hotel hopping for the 1st couple weeks of my work assignment, i was happy to finally land…read morehere. I stayed here over the course of about 10 weeks while on my work assignment. Staff were always welcoming & accommodating. I loved that everytime i checked in or called to book a stay that the staff remembered me. That means alot when you are frequenting an establishment on a regular basis. Housekeeping didnt always come in a do a full makeup either. Some days they came in & tool the trash but didn't make the bed. And it's like at that point why bother? For context my trash probably only needes to be pulled every 3 days. The rooms were a bit tight in the double rooms, with little to no walking space between the tv stand & beds. My biggest complaint would be for them to have oversized vehicles park in the back lot. Many days I got off a 12+hr shift & couldnt get a parl due to the Buses, trailers, etc parking & taking up 2+ spots. I thought that was pretty inconsiderate & inconvenient to other guests.

Meh. It was a Best Western charging Best Western Plus prices because the room and experience did…read morenot justify it. Our room was small but that was fine as we were barely there. However, there were some issues that made the stay less than what we expected. First, the water pressure from the bathroom sink faucet was lagging. And the water came out at all sorts of angles. The water pressure in the toilet was horrendous as well. It barely could flush the toilet paper from a quick #1 visit. My husband, ever the brave and handy guy, requested a plunger but never was able to get a decent flush. And then there was the breakfast - it's nice there is a sign informing you that can inquire about gluten free and dairy free items BUT you have to have those items available. I can't eat dairy. It's not a lactose issue - I really cannot have any dairy proteins at all. At all other Best Western Pluses we have gone to, they have had individual serving cartons of almond milk that I can ask for - but they did not have them. So while everybody else had four different choices of dairy milk, yogurt, many assorted pasty, scrambled eggs, pancakes, etc - my only option for breakfast was...oh wait, nothing because I couldn't even find fresh fruit.
