    I had to stay for 6 days because of work in the area and wanted a room with shower, the lady at front desk told me that is not possible, you stay in the room you are given. She didn't even consider my request even though I am a gold member and there were other rooms available. There was a long hair on my bed when I got to the room and overall the room wasn't very clean. The toilet bowl was dirty and I ended up bleaching the seat with wipes myself. you could see where the grout on the walls and floor were clean under the sink and black everywhere else. The elevator smelled strongly of weed and there was trash juice on the floor of the elevator and on the walls of the elevator. At breakfast, I saw the serving lady transfer the egg omelet and sausages by hand to the serving dish. The front door to the hotel was locked at all times. Checking in was a hassle. I have stayed at many hampton inns and am a hilton gold member. I won't be back to this location.

    Made a reservation through Expedia but needed to cancel. I cancelled within less than an hour of making the reservation. This place has a self made no refund policy. Which is an unlawful business tactic. You can’t charge someone when no services are rendered. It’s the same logic as me staying there and claiming I’m not going to pay bc I was dissatisfied. They refused to issue a refund of almost 400 dollars. Completely unacceptable and illegal. Never stay here. Please enjoy my 400 dollar donation to your greedy corporation. I hope the negative energy you bestow to people comes back to you ten fold.

    Perfect spot for Laguna Seca events. I guess it depends according to other reviews but the staff I checked in with was nice. Room was very clean and put together.

    We needed to cancel our second night and we're told there was a $75.00 cancellarion fee. I've never heard that from any other Hampton Inn (the fee was eventually waived).
