Old and Dirty
Our room was very dirty!!! Toilet, shower, and sink in bathroom were not clean at all!!! Dead bugs on carpet in main area. Mattresses were hard and uncomfortable. We had to put towels on the plastic chairs outside on the balcony because they were so dirty. No plastic liner for the ice container. Only 2 paper cups for water and coffee. Nice view from balcony. Convenient to downtown, restaurants and shops. Staff was very friendly. This place badly needs updating and a new manager because the maids are not doing a good job at all.

I cannot believe this is a Hampton Inn. Our room was filthy, except for the bedding. The carpet had multiple stains and there was no way they vacuumed the carpet or the bathroom as there was trash in the floor. The balcony had cigarette butts and a drink that was attracting ants. We should have guessed that the room was going to be dirty as there was trash and a washcloth in the hall as we approached our room that was still there when we checked out. We found a half empty coke in the refrigerator. I could not comfortably walk around barefoot because it was so gross. It was so bad that I didn't sleep well and we left as soon as we woke up. I didn't even want to get in the shower or eat any breakfast. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible. I challenge any Hilton executive to spend the night here. Only positive was the location. This property needs a deep clean desperately.

This was by far the most disgusting hotel ive ever stayed in. There was a used band aid on the floor, a fingernail clipping and lots of hair in the bed. I will not be staying in this hotel ever again.

This property was disgusting. Mold, not clean at all. Unpleasant check-in, so much so that the agent appeared frustrated her dinner was disturbed. There were BUGS in the room. Staff members coughing all over food - nope. Never again Hampton.

The room was clean but was in need of maintenance. The sink was clogged and drained very slowly and the toilet ran. Other than that, I had no issues.

It was an okay stay. Nothing to really brag about. The checking in process is a little odd. There is about 20 steps leading up to the check-in lobby area. There is also an elevator underneath the building in the parking garage which is more for Diamond Elite Members. Have to ring bell for staff members as they are in the back. Staff members ere not outgoing/friendly when checking in. Check out staff member was much better. The breakfast was good for a hotel breakfast. Didn’t have any boiled eggs while I was there. The beds were comfortable, but take your own pillow. The pillows look fluffy but go flat when you put your head on them.

The staff was fantastic. I had to have the property upgrade me as I booked a balcony room and was out in a regular room. They were more than accommodating. The cleaning staff really needs to do better. The toilet was dirty, old paper and can’t wrappers underneath the foot rest under the table. Cigarette butts all over the balcony railing. I understand the hotel is old but some upgrades need to be made. Utilities doors should be shut during the day so guests don’t have to see the dirty linens and messy rooms the staff uses. The staff literally made this stay worth it for us!
