    Great staff.

    Standard hotel, good location. Property is rundown - carpet stained, tub old, elevator was old, etc. Would not recommend or stay again at this cost.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Rooms were clean, parking entries are easy to access with a key so I felt safe. Complimentary breakfast was nice to have before we got back on the road

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    On the good side, my bed and pillows were comfy…on the bad side; the staff was ok but one was down right rude, she made me feel bad just asking her common questions and she was manning the front desk. The breakfast is HORRIBLE, a pot of uncooked, watery oatmeal, powered scrambled eggs…seriously? This Hampton Inn needs a total rehab…everything is old, tired and frankly, dirty looking. I will never stay at this Hampton Inn again until it’s been updated, which is a shame, because I love Hampton Inns!

    The hotel was clean and it was near my meeting place. The hotel is older, the air conditioner was loud and musty. It was about $300/ night after taxes, I expect more for that price.

    Room was very clean upon arrival. Staff was very welcoming. Breakfast was excellent. Parking was very convenient & very easily accessible.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    The room was literally falling apart. The room should not have been booked. I provided pictures to Yelp. The hotel should not be allowed to book the rooms in this condition.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Minus: Only minor things. Dark-out shades would be helpful. Room A/C did not seem to cool the room very well. Parking was a bit scarce but manageable. We would recommend and stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Reasonable price for comfortable hotel. N/A

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Too loud with college students and just not worth the 240 a night IT is a budget 80.00 a night type of place

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    When we got to our room, we found that the chair next to the bed was wet, probably because the previous guest had spilled something on it. I called the front desk, and the front staff member promptly brought us clean sheets and towels, which I appreciated. Unfortunately, the rest of our stay was disappointing. Our room was on the third floor, and there was a loud noise throughout the night that seemed to be coming from rooftop equipment, possibly an air conditioning unit or exhaust fan. In addition, a group of young guests in the neighboring rooms were quite noisy, making it difficult to get a good night’s sleep. The complimentary breakfast was just okay, and the coffee tasted terrible. Overall, while the staff provided good service, the noise and other issues made the stay less enjoyable. I don’t think I would choose to stay here again.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Really nice, clean, and quiet.

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    This hotel is in a desperate need of an update! The a/c units are old and make a ton of noise, mini-frig barely works, shower faucets constantly drip, and lots of highway noise as well. If you can even sleep through a fire alarm, then stay here. Should really have asked for my money back…..

    The staff. Desk, buffet 👍👍
