Terrible room conditions
The room was too dark. There are only lights in the bathroom and walk way. I was told room service could only be done in the morning every other day and that I couldn’t have my room cleaned during my short stay despite expensive cost of the trip.

Not worth the money
Trash and debris on the floor in the hallway, open areas with equipment and debris, holes in the wall with wires exposed at all times, tape over the smoke detectors and other areas in our room, no one was actively working on these areas.

Good location, nice front desk
Had to request room service multiple times. We had an extended stay and it was very busy. It was pretty loud in the evenings as cars were racing on the street outside our window. Should have requested a different room. It was centrally located and the staff was very warm and professional.

Staff was not very accommodating and rushed me thru my check in. The pool is under construction!!!!! I had no idea and the entrance has been rerouted through a long narrow corridor that barely 2 people could fit! The line for free breakfast was insane and there is nowhere to sit. Will not be back!

This property was undergoing renovations. I was not notified of this until check-in. Since renovations were underway, the swimming pool was down. The only reason I chose this hampton inn was the swimming pool advertised at booking

Look elsewhere
Website stated a pool and fitness center. Neither were opened because of renovations. Gum on the floor. Bathroom hand towel had a stain on it. One elevator working. No vending machine on our floor even though it stated it.

This hotel is being renovated. The front lobby was closed so we had to use a side entrance that had a table set up in a narrow hallway as a make shift front desk. The hotel is very dirty. Not sure if it’s due to the construction but the hallways and everything need a deep clean. When we walked into our room the floor was sticky and my shoes were sticking as I walked. I could also see spills and crumbs. I asked that the laminate part of the floor be cleaned again and someone came and quickly went over it. It was still very dirty so I went over it with 4-5 Clorox wipes. They turned black from the amount of dirt that was on the floor. The positives and reason for 2 stars is the staff was very nice and the breakfast was good. Also a good location and easy drive to the university and there are lots of restaurants within walking distance.
