- HGHans Gyswyt GyswytDec 24, 20255.0Hampton Inn’s are my bench mark for business trips. I can always count on the same level of high standards no matter where I find myself on trips across the country.
- CWChris WackerDec 23, 20255.0Well maintained property. Friendly staff.
- SPSteve pOct 28, 20253.0This was the 2nd of 4 HI's on this trip. The room was clean and the bed comfortable. These are two of the three amenities I look for in a roadside hotel. The third is a good shower. This HI and two others on this trip failed to have an adequate shower. The water pressure was really low making it very difficult for my wife to wash her hair. She has thick hair and was unable to fully rinse her hair. As for me, after 8 hours behind the wheel to be met with a trickle of a shower is completely unsatisfactory. Also, as an aside, it appears HI has standardized its breakfast. All four HI'S on this trip have had the exact same breakfast. Can't say it's good. I'm sure the omlets are easy but they are always rubbery, the hard boiled eggs cannot be peeled. Most likely from being boiled to close to being laid. Add to this the poultry sausages (always mushy and tastless) and that almost all other foods offered are high sugar foods. There's not much there when one has a carb restricted diabetic diet.
- JLJacob LakeSep 21, 20255.0Excellent hotel! Great location with very clean rooms. Welcoming/helpful staff. I highly recommend.
