Friendly service and great condition

Excellent service. The young lady who checked us in went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. We were early, and had a difficult time arriving due to travel issues, but she let us in our room early and gave us snacks and treats to cheer us up. The hotel was in excellent condition as well and even had a warm indoor pool which we enjoyed!

Family getaway

Everything was great, We would have given 5 stars except the pool heater was broken and the water was super cool. However we were able to use another Hotel's pool that was heated, but it was about a 8 min drive away.

The property was kept really clean and was maintained well! I was so happy to feel cleanliness in the bathroom as if I were home. The facility was clean from the moment you stepped in, in the dining areas, elevator, and all the way up to the rooms. There was even hand sanitizer @ the elevator. The staff was really nice upon our checking in and any time we encountered them in between our 3 night stay.

Toothpick in my bed

I gave this a low rating because number one I pulled back the cover and top sheet on the bed and found a toothpick! This told me the bed had been used. Disgusting. They gave us a different room but there is no excuse for covering up a previously used bed. The new room had crumbs on the floor. Obviously they have an issue with cleaning. Also the bed was uncomfortable and caused a backache. The pool is tiny but it did work for me to exercise and it was heated. Breakfast was standard. Would not stay again.

We booked a suite for my family over 4th of July weekend thinking since it’s the Hampton is going to be big and just perfect for our family. Well we were wrong the only thing that suite had was a king size bed and a sofa bed the best western we stayed at before had a way better than this for half of the price and to top it off in the middle of the night the fire alarms went on and off for what felt 2 hours and nothing was wrong no fire. there was some technical issues. Overall will not be staying here again.
