Cost to park

Our day was good. I had a good time. Place seem to be pretty good. Breakfast was not up to quality in power. Whoever does the breakfast stuff very unpleasant and food was cold not very pleased with it. Also is the parking fee to stay out of motel and never had to pay that before $15 a night plus tax the parking a free parking lot at a hotel get real.

Beth went above and beyond for us; she deserves a raise!! She was more than happy to help us get into a room and make sure we were taken care of. We had a bad experience down the road with another hotel, and this Hampton inn really turned our vacation around!! Our room and the rest of the facilities were very clean! This hotel is a short walk from downtown, which is nice for shopping and all of the food options! We will definitely be back and staying at this hotel again.

I reserved a room for my birthday weekend and to attend an event at the convention center on the same road. My experience with Hampton in the past has always been positive. First I was provided a rate of $152 per night and was charged $208 when I got to the hotel. The room was basic 2 queen beds and a small desk with TV. I asked for complimentary upgrade and I was told it would be $50 extra a night. She was quite rude about it and matter of fact. The mini fridge did not keep the drinks cold. The furniture was not in good condition and the shower had a curtain instead of a shower door. The bed was fairly comfortable and the pillows were comfortable. I was looking forward to breakfast and pictures online showed scrambled eggs instead we had hard turkey sausage and folded egg substitute with cheese. The fruit was banana and apple. When we were there before 8:30 am there was 2 yougart cups and only banana strawberry no other choice. There was very spicy potatoes and a few bread choices. But before leaving dining room they were down to wheat bread slices. Oatmeal was also available and waffles. There were other hotels near by that had better amenities and prices. I would not recommend this hotel for the price.

Very nice room and lobby area. We were there on a holiday weekend, so the breakfast was very skimmpy since so many people, so would have been nice to keep up with the people present. Had to ask for coffee creamer to be stocked. Overall, would defiantly stay here again.

Overall it was nice

The rooms were clean and bed was very comfortable. The lady at the front desk in the afternoon was not friendly at all, nor sympathetic to my situation. And hotels.com nor the hotel informed me that parking was an extra charge. It was a long walk to the main strip. The food could have been better, the potatoes were ice cold, bacon was under cooked and eggs watery. But it was a very busy weekend.
