Love the snowy view from our Hampton Inn room. I can tell the rooms have been updated recently. Nice finishings and colors. If I had to pick on anything, its that the faucet and toilet are tiny, both my husband and I are tall people so it wasn't as convenient. Great service and our room was impeccablly cleaned every day. Nice gym and indoor pool. Comimentary breakfast was okay. The location is by a casino but no near shops or convenience stores, be prepared to Uber.

I booked a room with 2 bed and when I arrived they gave me a room with one bed. The front desk person said they didn't have any rooms with 2 beds available and didn't think it was important to ask me at check in if that was ok.

Everything was great (seriously, a great hotel) except for the incredibly loud bang + rattle that occurred every 10-15min starting at 5:45 AM. Room 380. Much louder in the room than in the room than the hall. Could be water hammer on the pipes? Much much louder than someone slamming a door.
I’m typically a heavy sleeper, but it was impossible to sleep through even with the fan on high.
