Friendly staff

Central downtown location. Walkable to many restaurants, entertainment options. Pool area was not cleaned daily as trash, hair, used bandaids etc were there for our 3 day stay. Air conditioner in room struggled to maintain 75 degrees making it uncomfortable for sleeping. Friendly staff. With a few tweaks this could be an excellent choice.

Fabulous stay.

Zero issues! Fabulous experience. Suite was larger than expected. Breakfast was fabulous. Probably the best offerings I have had in this level of hotel. Felicia in the breakfast area was not only verk kind she was always buzzing around helping people and working. She is probably definitely one of your best and hardworking employees. She has a genuine warmth and welcoming attitude. All staff were pleasant and had a smile. I stayed 2 nights on a sold out weekend. I would definitely recommend and stay here again. - my only recommendation would be to change light bulb (or add makeup mirror with changing light) color in bathroom so that it makes it easier for women to apply makeup. I did have to go into the kitchen area for more light because the bathroom has an amber cast from the lights. But other than that. Zero issues.

The cost of the rooms were almost $500/nt and this property does not meet a Hilton standard. Seating in the lobby area had several large stains and elevator floors were filthy! The staff at breakfast was fabulous! Very friendly and helpful.

Okay

Overall, a good experience but our entire bathroom floor was super sticky - sort of like it had been mopped with honey. Had to keep shoes on in our room because that was gross. (We didn't ask for service because we had a 1 night stay & didn't feel like the hassle but I'm sure they would have addressed it if we had complained.) Breakfast buffet was tasty & efficient - kudos to the lady that was running it!

Our stay here was good. The property is located in a great area that is easy to navigate on foot or by car and the onsite parking was great. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The room was clean and as expected. My only critique is that on the whole the property would benefit from some updates as it was a little dated compared to other Hampton Inn’s we’ve stayed at before. Despite that we would stay here again if we ever revisited the area.

Dirty

Was given a room that had not been cleaned. Dirty towels in the shower, bed sheets were dirty. Went to front desk to get a new room and they seemed more concerned with how it could have happened then helping us get a new room. Only positive was it was walking distance to restaurants and proctors theater.
