Very dirty and beat down. Staff said they're going to start renovating. I would wait until that renovation has been completed before you stay here. Not up to Hampton inn or Hilton quality.

The employees are sweet. Unfortunately, our room was smelly! It smelled like mildew and smoke. The carpet was filthy and wet from the old fashioned air conditioner. The furniture and carpet was also stained with white stuff! BARF! The walls, lamps, doors, ect, were all FILTHY!!!!!!
The coffee was good, but not enough for us to return. This place could use a serious remodeling! We didn't eat the breakfast. There were too many dogs in the food and sitting area, it was like a dog park.

After booking with booking.com for 5 people, the hotel provided a room with 2 beds only. When we complained they offered us to pay for another room, and said booking.com is our problem. Of course they let booking.com book their hotel rooms but then they take no responsibility for issues between them and booking.com. The manager’s response was I’ll talk to you in the morning, which is adding insult to injury because we are stuck with no bed for the night. They say “we’ll make it right 100%” but this is just an empty slogan. When you need them to make it right they take no responsibility.
In the morning we found out that there was no issue with booking.com, the hotel simply gave our room to someone else by mistake! It was all their fault all that time!

LOUD LOUD and trashy environment. Attracts the wrong crowd. Told the staff about the noise. They said they tried but it didn’t make a difference. Dirty room. Dirty carpet. Looked at phone in the room and how gnarly it was says a lot. I couldn’t handle staying one night. Booked another hotel and left.

I had a very unpleasant stay at this hotel. Despite the Hampton Inn name, the room conditions were far below expectations. There were bugs, cockroaches, and even spiders in the room, which was extremely disappointing and unacceptable for a hotel at this price level.
The floors were dirty, and my kids’ socks and clothes became filthy within minutes of walking around. It clearly hadn’t been cleaned properly. It also seemed like only one staff member was handling everything, which made it difficult to get help when needed.
When I brought up the issues, I was told the hotel is “going to be remodeled,” but no one could say when. That doesn’t help guests who are staying here now.
Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend staying here until the hotel is properly cleaned, staffed, and remodeled.
