    Ripped off stickers on EVERY door frame.
    Rader S.

    Bad property. Do not stay here. I stay in Hampton Inn hotels all over the country. I can usually count on the consistency. Not this one. I knew things were bad when all of the doors had remnants of the covid "sanitized room" stickers on every door frame. When I was waiting to check in another guest was complaining that the room that they had just checked into was dirty and had not been attended to by housekeeping. I went to my room only to find a beer bottle on the desk, an unmade bed and dirty towels on the floor. The front desk clerk was able to get me another room but it had burned out light bulbs and lots of sticky surfaces. This hotel obviously has an owner who is derelict. I hope that Hilton would exercise some better quality control over its franchisees. I will stay at other Hampton inns, but not this one. It's now the morning after my check-in and I had to update. The coffee was lukewarm and they said they have no regular coffee creamer. They only have caramel and vanilla creamer. It's been on order, according to the staff. I used milk, all they had was low-fat though. While getting ready to head out I couldn't find the lids for the coffee cups. I was informed that they didn't have any lids. There are two grocery stores within 100 yards of this store. A property owner who gave a crap would go buy a few containers of 1/2 and 1/2 and maybe even some coffee cups with lids. I asked who the owner was and was told that it's "Mr. Patel." Mr. Patel needs to stick to roadside fleabag motels and have his Hampton inn franchise terminated.

    The Only Visibly dirty thing! AND yes they did leave the seat up for me. WOW THANKS GUYS

    See all

    The hotel was Ok and the people very friendly. Probably time for some new towels and to fix the toilet seat.

    We were checked in promptly, staff was friendly. You're right across the way from otummua beach, a…read morewater park in the area so if you're here with kids that's a great option! Close to everything and lots of parking. Room was nice, seemed clean unfortunately the beds weren't that comfortable but that's always a hit or a miss (and personal preference). seeing there is a chophouse connected to this establishment we were looking forward to a full breakfast spread - quite a small selection. Cereal without milk, toast toppings without bread and the batter was on its last limb for waffles. I'm used to staff being in the dining area frequently to check on low items and restocking, I needed to alert the staff that things were missing or empty. Seeing this is the newest hotel in the area I'm sure it's the best place to stay.

    I originally came to this hotel by the recommendation of a client. I normally stay at Marriott and…read moreHilton properties but alas Ottumwa doesn't have any. :(. I checked in late and was very tired. The front desk attendant was beyond helpful and I felt as if I was going to have a pleasant stay in which I did. The steak restaurant was nice and the manager came over to my table and was genuinely pleasant. So far so good. :). NOW THE BAD: I travel for a living so I was in a rush and forgot to make my reservation for a room here. That's on me. When I arrived I was greeted by a new hire and the GM. The new hire was very pleasant but the GM was rude and condescending. She was borderline disrespectful. I do know that she will read this and YES you knew you were! I would call out your name since you were so kind enough (sarcasm) to give me your business card when I asked for it because you knew I wasn't happy with your conduct and you didn't care but I will spare calling your name out nationwide. What happened. Well you greeted me as if I was a transient since YES admittedly I forgot to reserve a room. Marriott would have skipped the rudeness and just found me a room. You were condescending because you acted as if I didn't have the means to pay for the room. Saying TWICE in a direct manner with a condescending tone. "YOU WILL NEED A LICENSE AND CREDIT CARD!" As if I didn't have either. You acted as if I were homeless asking me if my address was correct on my license?! Never had that question before even when I stayed at your property the first time and NEVER at ANY other hotel chains. To be honest I am not accustomed to being treated like that so I was taken aback. You were so condescending in fact that I just kept looking at you and said "Is there a problem?!" In retrospect I wish I wasn't so road fatigued because I would have just walked out and wrote a formal complaint letter to corporate. Would I stay here again?.....what do you think my YouTube followers who also follow my Yelp reviews. As most of you know that I am a soldier who was wounded in service for my country. All you Veterans nation wide know me and supported me when I had iron clad proven issues with a major jewelry store chain and the largest wireless company in America they both acquiesced with your support, thank you! I never have said this before but I say now that this GM is a bigot and clearly has issues even when she told me to have a nice stay it was condescending. Respectfully GM respect your guest leave any personal bigotry you have at your home. There is no room in the service industry for "KARENS" respectfully speaking.

    Part way through my stay at this hotel. Unlike the first reviewer, I have stayed here and…read moreexperienced what it is like. The hotel is one of the newer ones in town. It has the same types of amenities you would expect from a hotel in this price range and in a small town. There is free wifi, they have a free hot breakfast and a clean well lit swimming pool and whirlpool. My wish list for the hotel includes a frozen dessert vending machine that dispenses things similar to a DQ sandwich or Dilly Bar and an ice machine that has a higher capacity. This one ran out after 2 buckets and I had to wait 15 minutes for more ice. The rooms are clean. Beds are comfortable. AC works great and can keep your room icebox cold. Housekeeping this morning did a great job cleaning up and resetting the room again. I have stayed at a few hotels in Ottumwa over the years. This is one of the best ones in town and would recommend it if you are looking for a clean and affordable bed for the night.

    When I pulled up to the property, mattresses and trash were thrown outside the front door. At…read morefirst, I thought that couldn't be the front door, so I drove around a bit. Nope, it was. That should have been indication enough that this wouldn't be where I wanted to stay, but I had booked the room, so I went in. Check-in was fine, and I went to my room. At first, I thought it would be okay, a bit dated, but the room was big, so I stuck it out. That is until I went near the bed and found a bug in the bed! That was it. I called another hotel to book a room. When I went to tell the front desk I was leaving, about six people were trying to check in. The front desk person looked at me, frustrated, and declared she couldn't help me. I said I would wait, but she continued to stare at me as if she wanted me to tell her. So I told her I couldn't stay here. She asked why in a gruff tone, and I told her, looking at all the people waiting, I don't think you want me telling you now. She continued to look at me, and I told her - a bug in my bed! She told me she couldn't do anything and to call the manager in the morning. So, I left. And in the morning, I called the manager, who didn't apologize but told me she had someone come out, and it wasn't bed bugs. Great! Glad to hear that, but I want my money back. After a 5-minute conversation of excuses, She told me they credited my account last night. I would have led with that! It was a horrible experience!
