The condition of the facility is not up to the standard I have found in other Hampton inns around the country. Our room was not very clean. No mention of the lack of parking was made till after I was charged. I know that it is in a city environment but….

Great Hotel

Great hotel. Super fast and friendly check in with Julie. Room was HUGE and beds were comfy. Anything we needed or asked for was taken care of right away. Great location close to everything. Only downfall was parking not attached to hotel and no valet.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Because of the age of the hotel, the interior feels outdated and run down. The A/C sounds like a jet engine preparing for takeoff: clunky and loud. The bed situation was especially concerning: a coverlet with no cover. It is terrifying to think how many guests before me got cozy with it… The front desk staff has no enthusiasm for their jobs, they do the bare minimum, but to their credit, they do it well. Minimal changes to this place would make a world of difference for guests.

There is live music playing so loud I can hear it in my room over the TV , the staff couldn’t be any slower or careless. WOW never again . No perks to being a gold honors member. They used to give you a cookie and a water . Now they point to where the elevator. No more valet . Horrible.

Instant hot water in the shower was great. Hotel was very good. Outside was very loud when the bars closed. Motorcycles revving engines, sirens, people… but that’s not the hotel’s fault.

The only positive thing about this hotel is its good location. Unfortunately, the room had a strong musty smell that triggered my allergies, and the air conditioner was so loud it sounded like a motorcycle. Honestly, I don’t understand why this place is rated as excellent it feels more like a low-quality hotel.
